Houzz Tour: Midcentury Modern Home With a Treehouse Vibe

No Comments



This unique 1960 home in a suburb of San Antonio, Texas, was designed by architect Robert Harris for Bernard Lifshutz, a prominent San Antonio real estate developer, civil rights activist and historic preservationist. The home changed hands several times over the years, and with each renovation, the original midcentury modern features were stripped away a bit more.

The current owners, who are big fans of midcentury design, contacted Jana Valdez of Haven Design and Construction after seeing one of the company’s projects online. They wanted to improve the home’s layout, including making changes to the kitchen and primary suite, and resurrect the home’s midcentury features. “They called us pretty quickly after purchasing the house because they knew immediately that they needed a solution for the primary closets being in the main hallway of the house, and they really wanted a walk-in pantry in the kitchen,” Valdez says.

Houzz Tour: Midcentury Home Updated for Multigenerational Living

No Comments



Homes constructed by the postwar developer Joseph Eichler are coveted for many of the features that appealed to families in the 1950s and ’60s, including their modern style, indoor-outdoor flow and large expanses of glass. But other common aspects of the homes, including poor energy efficiency, closed-off kitchens and small square footage, aren’t very conducive to contemporary multigenerational living.

So after a family with a young daughter and twins on the way purchased one such home in Palo Alto, California, it set out to upgrade the home’s function and finishes and to add a grandparents suite. The homeowners hired Klopf Architecture, which is renowned for its sensitive Eichler remodels, to get the job done — and to ensure that the home’s architectural integrity and distinctive character were preserved in the process.
