Photographer loganhavens was between gigs when he began to look for a renovation project in his town. Within his price range and a three-mile radius of downtown, where he wanted to be, “there were, like, two options,” he says. One in particular had a cracked facade and awkward additions, among other issues—no street appeal here. But a parapet hinted that it might be a historic adobe original to the neighborhood, one of Tucson’s oldest. The location and opportunity to restore the original structure was ultimately what convinced Logan and his partner, designer gusitron, to purchase the home for $142K and get DIYing. For our American design issue, the couple walked us through their renovation process. Check it out in their #ConstructionDiary at the link in bio. – Photos by matt.martian Story by laurennicoley6
