Architect Visit: Nonya Grenader
From Julie
Houston-based Nonya Grenader teaches at Rice University and is principal of her own small firm. Her three most recent architectural projects received design awards from the American Institute of Architects; we especially admire her brilliant RBW Core House, a reinterpretation of the shotgun-style structures typical of Houston's Third Ward. Grenader (working with Danny Samuels) inserted a new core (containing bath, kitchen, and mechanical elements) in an existing 500-square-foot house. The house will be used for visiting artists in residence.

Really like these pics, so simple but beautiful :)
I'm interested in what's going on with the ceilings.
Having personally worked on the ceilings of this house while working on this project, I can tell you that the ceilings are basically entirely original with some minor patchwork (biggest patch was about 1' x 1' and used recycled wood from the house).
