Del Monte
In hopes of transforming a house located in River Oaks into a celebrated fusion of culture and color, these clients turned to Lonergan and her team to ensure a thoughtful revival of their home. With that task came the preservation of a cherished collection of art and antiques. The goal was to marry the timeless beauty of their inherited treasures with the residence’s more modern structure, creating a space where old and new harmoniously coexist.
