Lavaca House, renovated by Lake Flato Architects, transforms an 1870s caliche block home in San Antonio’s historic Lavaca district into a vibrant, modern retreat. The design preserves the original stone structure while introducing contemporary elements that reflect the personality of the homeowner, an artist and collector. Art-filled interiors celebrate local talent, with each room offering surprise and charm. The home balances historic character with modern living, creating an adaptable, light-filled sanctuary deeply connected to its urban and cultural context.
