EXTERIOR
To "update and clarify" a 1961 house in Houston, architect Ray Booth of McAlpine and Elizabeth Kennedy balanced the original aesthetic with a contemporary point of view. Booth tweaked the '60s white-brick facade with new vertical shutters and added a steel-gated front door and custom lantern.

STAIRS
Booth established the new openness of the house in the foyer, where he updated the original window and removed carpeted treads and risers from the steel staircase, replacing them with stone "floaters." The bench and Chippendale-style chair came from the client's previous home.

LIVING ROOM
In the serenely neutral living room, a custom McAlpine cocktail table joins a sofa and club chairs by Joseph Company and a tall armchair from Lee Industries. The curtains are in a Rogers & Goffigon fabric, and the cowhide rug is by Edelman Leather.

KITCHEN
"We added about 50 square feet to the kitchen to accommodate everything we needed," Booth says. The new Eagle windows look like steel but are actually aluminum. Booth chose honed Carrara marble for the counters as a perfect fit for the beige-and-gray palette. A Lindsey Adelman fixture hangs from a new skylight over a prep island clad in brushed-and-bleached oak. The wall cabinets are oak with Whitechapel hardware.

BEDROOM
The master bedroom celebrates softness, with an upholstered headboard from Joseph Company and bedding made from Rogers & Goffigon fabrics. Two skirted chairs by McAlpine for Lee Industries sit beside a custom steel-frame mirror, hand-silvered by R Squared. The ceiling fixture from Remains Lighting is one of several lanterns in the house.

BATHROOM
"The challenge in the master bathroom was using every available inch of space," says Booth, who under-mounted twin Kathryn sinks from Kohler. The faucets are from Kallista and the custom mirrors are by McAlpine.
