The wide staircase leads to the living area, dining space, and kitchen, with the husband's art prominently displayed.

No one wanted to alter the stairway, and kept its original design intact. New windows and a clever and sleek wood staircase highlight the private courtyard outside.

Statement wallpaper and an oversized sconce make this a dreamy second bedroom.

The renovation honored the history of the property, and kept the exterior mostly as is.

Masa Arquitectos designed this minimalist house in Montevideo, Uruguay, for a young family on a tight budget who wanted to do most of the carpentry themselves.
