Beautiful landscaping design path to this modern rustic home in Hartford, Austin, Texas, 2022 project By Darash

Our clients wanted to downsize to a 2500 – 2800 square foot home. With grown children and one of them already retired, they wanted to design their final, forever home. Low maintenance exterior finishes with timeless detailing was important. They also wanted lots of windows to maximize the natural light and take advantage of their bird’s eye lake view. Another important design feature was sound dampening around all bathrooms, bedrooms, and floor systems to keep with the tranquil environment they were trying to create. They wanted open concept living with a master suite on the main floor and guest bedrooms for family visitors upstairs. The ample patio and yard space are also ideal for family gatherings and enjoying all that beautiful Northern Michigan has to offer.

This gem of a house was built in the 1950s, when its neighborhood undoubtedly felt remote. The university footprint has expanded in the 70 years since, however, and today this home sits on prime real estate—easy biking and reasonable walking distance to campus.
When it went up for sale in 2017, it was largely unaltered. Our clients purchased it to renovate and resell, and while we all knew we'd need to add square footage to make it profitable, we also wanted to respect the neighborhood and the house’s own history. Swedes have a word that means “just the right amount”: lagom. It is a guiding philosophy for us at SYH, and especially applied in this renovation. Part of the soul of this house was about living in just the right amount of space. Super sizing wasn’t a thing in 1950s America. So, the solution emerged: keep the original rectangle, but add an L off the back.
With no owner to design with and for, SYH created a layout to appeal to the masses. All public spaces are the back of the home--the new addition that extends into the property’s expansive backyard. A den and four smallish bedrooms are atypically located in the front of the house, in the original 1500 square feet. Lagom is behind that choice: conserve space in the rooms where you spend most of your time with your eyes shut. Put money and square footage toward the spaces in which you mostly have your eyes open.
In the studio, we started calling this project the Mullet Ranch—business up front, party in the back. The front has a sleek but quiet effect, mimicking its original low-profile architecture street-side. It’s very Hoosier of us to keep appearances modest, we think. But get around to the back, and surprise! lofted ceilings and walls of windows. Gorgeous.
