The original house was built in the 1940s in a historical neighborhood in Austin, Texas. It was recently renovated by Miró Rivera Architects to meet the current expectations of the owners.

The clients wanted to “get back to the 40s” and “MRA’s goal was to restore the exterior of the house in this historic

was used to maintain a balance between the traditional aspects of the
original house and the modern updates required by this family of four.”
