Marrying efficient construction with warm, contemporary touches, this full-house remodel shows how delightful resilient design can be.
Adrienne and Trey Farmer are getting used to a certain look of surprise when visitors walk in their front door. The couple’s 1914 Craftsman bungalow is perched on a side street above a busy Austin freeway, so guests expect something dim and noisy. What they get is totally different: a light-filled, serene, contemporary interior with dramatic views of downtown. It’s like biting into what you think is an old-fashioned doughnut and discovering lemon cream—except that this surprise is also really, really healthy.
The Theresa Passive House, as the project is known, is a case study for resilient, health-conscious design techniques. Trey, an architect at Forge Craft Architecture and Design, and Adrienne, owner of interior design office Studio Ferme, collaborated with architect Hugh Jefferson Randolph to transform a worn, leaky, and loud 100-year-old house into a resilient haven.
