San Antonio architect builds her dream home, and a showcase home, in Inverness neighborhood
had a wish list of things she wanted in her new place: a spalike owner's bedroom, a media room with surround sound, at least twoBut Urbano is also an architect, owner of San Antonio-basedSo when she was designing her new home, she also wanted it to be a showcase where potential clients could see examples of designs, techniques and products she likes to bring to her jobs.
“It’s funny because people would always ask me, ‘Well, what does your home look like?’ ” she said. “But I didn’t have time to build the kind of house I wanted for myself.”She purchased a lot in the Inverness neighborhood near Wurzbach Parkway and N.W. Military Highway back in 2015, but other jobs kept her from starting the project.“I thought, well, things are gonna be slow for a while, so maybe now’s the time to build,” she said.
“There are elements in here that are contemporary, like the Euro cabinets in the kitchen,” she said. “But then I ended up doing a quartzite countertop to soften things up.” The living area is furnished with midcentury reproduction seating in rust, blue and neutrals surrounding a splay-legged coffee table and oriented toward a gas fireplace faced with lime plaster rather than the more common stone or brick because she wanted"something timeless." The off-white material shows the trowel marks, giving it a subtle depth.
