Arthur Dallas Stenger was what some people might call \u201cthe Eichler of Austin\u201d.\u00a0<\/em>The mid-century architect projected, in the early 60s, a few houses throughout a couple of neighborhoods south of the Colorado river. One of those houses was the mid-century home<\/strong><\/em> we\u2019re about to see.<\/p>\n

Retaken as a home makeover<\/strong> project, this unique home stands out for its roof, which is pretty much an \u201cundulating affair that rests lightly on its glass-and-steel frame\u201d.<\/em>\u00a0However, what we love the most about this Texas home are its newly decorated interiors.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Butterfly House<\/strong>, as it is called, was bought by a young couple back in 2008, who then decided to make a complete makeover and bring out the best in this stunning architectural piece. Erin and Josh Bernstein believe that \u201cthis house is essentially optimistic. It looks like it could take off and fly away. You\u2019re happy, and I could sense that when I walked in<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n

The kitchen is \u201cfunctional in a way that doesn\u2019t feel like the kitchen is in the living room<\/em>\u201c, says architect Rick Black. He explains, \u201cone of the goals was to make the islands more like furniture than like heavy objects that go all the way to the floor<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n
