Glass artist Gini Garcia designed the renovation of her 1894 Victorian house in the Lavaca neighborhood near downtown to feel like 'a high-rise apartment.'
Glass artist Gini Garcia designed the renovation of the Victorian house she shares with her mother in the historic Lavaca neighborhood just south of downtown with one aim in mind. “I wanted it to feel like I’m living a high-rise apartment,” said Garcia , whose work is displayed everywhere from the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort & Spa to a castle on the River Elbe in the German city of Dresden .
Shavano Park home undergoes a maximalist redesign Working with contractors, Garcia designed the new home’s layout herself, dividing it in half, with one side for her, the other for her mother. The project was completed in September. The clever layout allows them to see one another often and also have many meals together, yet each lives her own, separate life. “And I made sure to soundproof the wall between our two sides, so we don’t hear each other,” Garcia said with a smile.
