Nice collaboration! Get the most and the best out of the willing budget... Please keep it coming and thanks for sharing! 😁👍

Hoping this becomes a full series, having spent a lot of time in Spain I love the authentic Mediterranean style, but I don’t see a lot of examples where I live now in South Australia, and certainly not good ones. It’s always good to get an architectural palate cleanser every once in a while.

This will be interesting to follow!

Yes, that staircase is Colonial, but PLEASE don't even think of removing it. It's an incredible period detail and a hundred times better than anything made today. Just my two cents. Thanks!

[@danielstover3029]

Agreed - spot on! 😁👍

[@kevinm-py1nt]

That was great! I hate those shutters on the front of the house.

[@broederbond60]

I could certainly forsee a reflection pool.

[@user-steve_wrwoodclassics]

This house has so much potential . I love your ideas with applied mouldings . The x beams are horrible, they need to be removed immediately !

[@GeorgePetrakov]

Brent as a good doctor, all you need it is just find him plus budget. And in most cases result will be stunning.

1:22 45,000 in 1959 dollars is 488k today.

Huge pet peeve of mine is how people throw nominal values without accounting for devaluation through inflation.

[@catphonics]

Another way to look at it is by comparing how much that was vs the average home. Average home price for Texas in 1960 was around $9000, so this home was 4 times more expensive than the average. Average home price in Texas today is around 350k, x4 is $1.4M. thats probably not the value of this house today, but it is a way for us to look back and better understand in context the price of the house back then.

It’s nice that your running around fixing other peoples mess but would you rather design a neighborhood of custom homes? Most of the custom builds lately are disappointing. Would love to see a master planned community similar to Newport coast but with Brent as lead architect and designer.

If you don't leave enough solid flat wall above those arches, it will always look hokey. Arches holding up nothing look ridiculous.
