Kevin Pruitt, a film producer and director, shows his contemporary remodel that he completed on his mid-century modern home in Austin, Texas. Originally built in 1967 by an eccentric Northwest Hills builder as his personal residence, This home was built for entertaining. From its floating lava rock fireplace that seats 8-12 people for dinner to its two great outdoor entertaining areas to its bedrooms that all open on to the kidney shaped swimming pool. This is fantastic. Many other renovations of mid-century houses completely destroy the original architectural elements in favour of modernization. This is by far one of the best updates of its kind ever seen. Tasteful remodel. Some wood on the floors, ceilings, or walls here and there would transition between the stark white and dark rock which seems like too much of a contrast here. Toning it down and warming it up a bit would help to attract a wider range of buyers. via
