A house built in the 1930s might not sound that old, but by Texas standards, this Mediterranean Revival property is ancient. Reworking the interiors would require a designer with an eye for blending styles – balancing old and new – to create a modern family house design that still honored the building’s history.
When the homeowners brought on Dafna Kikuchi, founder of design studio Daf & Co., they were actually more interested in hearing about Dafna’s style than their own. The clients historically had very modern taste, and when they moved into this 1930s home in the Highland Park neighborhood of Dallas, they quickly realized their usual style wasn’t going to neatly fit into the house.
