Oak Vista Residence

Home Square Footage: 3,448 Square Feet

Architectural Style: Spanish Colonial

Construction Type: Historic Home Remodel

A Residential Architecture Project in San Antonio, TX

This Oak Vista home was built in the early part of the 20th Century. We were brought in to make some drastic changes. This property had been used for many years as an office space, so it was full of fluorescent  lighting, inexpensive cabinetry, and poorly-executed space planning.

We took down a wall between the existing kitchen and another unused room to create a much more useful and beautiful kitchen with all new cabinets and finishes.

In the upstairs master bathroom, we reconfigured the master bathroom and added a large shower.

In the upstairs hall, which connected to one of the bedrooms, we added a secondary bathroom with a shower featuring period-appropriate scalloped tile.

We selected vintage lighting and, when possible, we reused some of the original fixtures that luckily had been stored previously in the basement for years.
