The steel-framed stair with concrete treads and glass guardrail makes a nice perch for the family cat to take in views of the lake and check out what's cooking in the kitchen. Photo by J.C. Schmeil.

This steel door opens onto a mudroom, accessed via a cantilevered concrete patio. Steel panels clad the building; they have been left to oxidize naturally, resulting in the "rusty" appearance of the house. Photo by J.C. Schmeil.

JC Architecture restored the original walls and installed a new timber floor that was inspired by Japanese tatami mats. “We were very inspired by the old Japanese way of looking at space,” says Chu. “Shoji doors, for example, allow two spaces to be easily transformed into one large space. All the doors in the home operate the same way as the Japanese system, creating flexibility in the interior.”

Architect J.C. Schmeil renovated and added onto a 1935 Austin bungalow in order to better accommodate his family: wife Ashley McLain, sons Corbin (13) and Beckett (10), and Shiner the rescue dog. They purchased the cottage in 1998, and after a couple of small renovations and considering a move, they realized they needed to add some serious square footage. So in 2012 Schmeil gutted the original cottage, upgraded all systems, and added on to the upstairs, bringing the former 820 square feet up to the current 2,150 with four bedrooms.

Austin architect J.C. Schmeil converted his family's 1935 bungalow into a spacious modern family home on a modest budget and with tons of ingenuity. A dormer on the south side of the house contains two bedrooms. One of the bedrooms features a reading loft carved out of the attic space above the dining room. The intersection of the gabled roof and the shed dormers allowed us to wrap large windows around each corner, taking advantage of the "borrowed landscape"—treetop views that root the house to its site.

Before the renovation, the courtyard was a dilapidated space overgrown with weeds and vines. JC Architecture retained some key plants and used a crane to relocate several trees.

The front door opens onto a combination dining/library, with a vaulted ceiling. The entry wall features a floor-to-ceiling custom bookcase with a window set high to capture light and a view of the ash tree in the yard. Whitewashed maple plywood strips in a vertical running bond pattern act as a warm “tile” and are the sole decorative flourish for the adjacent wall. Photo by Patrick Wong.

The house's main door is a pivoting thousand-pound piece of steel that opens with a push of a finger. You can see the recycled waste-concrete retaining wall through the glass, with Grandmother's Cabin visible at the top of the lot. Glass guardrail panels in the foreground sit on the steel floor beam, which also serves as an ad-hoc message board with magnetic letters. Photo by J.C. Schmeil.

The open-plan kitchen/dining area and living room are located in a newer part of the building that was added in the 1950s and faces a courtyard. Instead of replacing the aged timber window frames with more contemporary windows, JC Architecture commissioned a Taiwanese craftsperson to restore them. During the restoration, it was discovered that the home was constructed from very rare Taiwanese hinoki timber. “You could only really find this timber 90 years ago,” says Chu. “It’s very fragrant, and the whole home now gives off this light scent. We even took one of the old timber beams and used it to make the entrance door handle, so everyone who comes in will lightly touch this wood.”
