Residence: Building on Memories
A Special Place to Read
Library shelves run the length of the hall and off to the side just next to a door that opens onto an upstairs patio there a space just for reading. The red leather chair is great for lounging and a fabric ottoman is available for even more comfort.

Building on Memories Challenge:
The family house had to go. It made no economical sense to remodel. The new contemporary home needed to be set in a grove of mesquite trees and the clients love natural materials and color. How to incorporate family antiques, Mexican art, mesquite and lots more into this home.
Solution:
The mesquite wood was salvaged from the cut trees, kiln dried, and made into a spiral staircase, floors, and accents. Tile, stone, and color separate areas. Niches and built-in cabinets offer display space. Antiques and contemporary furniture blend giving a warm feeling of “coming home” when you enter the house.
