The Ben Pillow House is half of a Victorian-era pair of homes on West 9th Street, both Austin Landmarks. The current homeowners needed some simple but architecturally-sensitive improvements to help them enjoy their home as they aged, and asked O’Connell Architecture to help. Our work included the design of a front porch stair handrail in character with the original balustrade, a new historically appropriate exterior paint scheme, and remodeling of the primary bathroom to include many improvements to accessibility.
