Tanglewood is one of Fort Worth's most desirable neighborhoods — wide, tree-lined streets, large lots, and mid-century ranch homes with real architectural intentionality. These homes were built to be horizontal and low-slung. Building a second story on one requires careful structural and design work to avoid producing something that looks like a warehouse dropped on top of a ranch. We've done it successfully. The key is treating the mid-century character as a design constraint rather than an obstacle.
