by Grace Bernard

Designer Barbara Hill turned the century-old adobe home into a restrained retreat with steel beams, plaster walls, and a garden oasis.

The pine floors were re-stained during the renovation.

Location: 309 North Highland Ave, Marfa, Texas

Price: $995,000

Designer: Barbara Hill

Footprint: 2,188 Square Feet (2 Bed, 3 Bath)

Year Renovated: 2006

From the Listing: "This home is gallerist and interiors guru Barbara Hill’s first home in Marfa, on the Courthouse Square. Hill removed the interior adobe walls, stabilized the 100-plus-year-old structure with steel beams, and layered the walls with gypsum plaster with a glow that alternates as the day begins and fades. This softness is carried through the 1,800-square-foot main home to a detached casita with an outdoor area that is conceived as a private garden oasis."
