Updating the Ranch

Here at Thrasher Works, the design work typically falls into the range of commercial projects.  I've spent the last 18 years working on educational, health care and office/retail project types.  It's not often that I venture into residential work.  The project would really have to spark the imagination.

This spring I've found myself grabbed by just such a project. A long time client of Bart's approached us about renovating a sleepy ranch in East Dallas. Of course, Bart had actually worked as the client's Realtor and they sought out a house with lots of potential.  The project clicked with me because they convinced me of how fun it would be to turn the unassuming ranch into a striking mid-centrury modern gem. 

So far, so good. We dove into the design work to turn this two bedroom, one bath home into a 3/2.5 with the addition of a master suite and a full renovation of the existing. Below are some of the initial design sketches which we are pretty excited about. Construction is already underway and we can't wait to share the photos as this project unfolds.  Stay tuned for more.
