- Courtney & Blake Bartosh transformed a sculpture-house hybrid from the '70s into a vacation rental.
- The Texas couple added stained-glass fixtures and decorated the house with creative steel elements.
Texas natives Courtney and Blake Bartosh turned a sculpture-house hybrid in Ransom Canyon, Texas, into a vacation rental with mid-century-modern furniture and stained-glass windows.
Currently listed under the "OMG!" category on Airbnb, the couple has listed the 2,450-square-foot home for $850 per night.
The futuristic structure was originally designed by architect Robert Bruno throughout the 1970s and 1980s as a sculpture-house hybrid. The well-known West Texas landmark is entirely constructed of steel and overlooks Lake Ransom Canyon, about 15 miles outside Lubbock, Texas.
Bruno died in 2008, and the house sat partially unfinished until his daughter decided to sell it in 2022. Although the Bartoshes lived near the home, they'd never been inside it. Eventually, the couple made an offer with the intent of transforming it into a vacation rental, and in September 2022, the renovations began.
Here's a look at the updated property.
