Diane and Ray Krueger remodel, restore and repurpose buildings, including the Big Three...

, an interior designer with an art history degree from Rice University and experience working at the Menil Collection.

To convey her own lofty design goals, Diane sent pages from AD Italia with modern furnishings to Humphries and Lambrakos and asked them to get started. "As the process went on, got more excited," Lambrakos said."Diane is a very serious businesswoman, but we'd meet for an hour or hour and a half, and it would be a respite for her to engage and indulge. Ray was challenging in a way that makes you a better designer. I came out of this project a better designer."

Inside the sprawling fourth floor, Humphries and Lambrakos created a series of galleries to display and admire art or simply pause between the main living area, TV room and the four bedrooms, two of which are part of an apartment that can be shut off from the main house. At various points, Houston gallery owners brought in a parade of art to show the Kruegers to see what might work perfectly in different rooms.

The dining room has a 13-foot table of walnut and mahogany on a metal base, custom made by BC Woodwork. Around it is a collection of modern chairs from CAM Studio, a Houston furniture showroom with modern European brands.
