"Dom Haury, a woodworker, sculptor, and painter, and Kelsey Saikami, a floral designer, moved to Austin from San Francisco in 2021 and were intent on immersing themselves in the creative community. After landing in the Rosedale neighborhood by chance, the couple decided it's where they belonged. "When we saw this house, it reminded me of Dom's dad's place in Indiana," Saikami says. "It felt familiar," Haury adds."
"Through the local art scene, the pair first connected socially with Benjamin Stelly and Tanya Selway of the interior design studio Stelly Selway. Early on, Stelly commissioned several wooden stools from Haury and was later thrilled when the opportunity arose to work together on a larger scale. Upon entering the house, it became apparent that the bones were good, but the flow was disjointed and cramped, while windows were minimal and light was hard to come by."
Dom Haury, a woodworker, sculptor, and painter, and Kelsey Saikami, a floral designer, relocated from San Francisco to Austin in 2021 and settled in the Rosedale neighborhood. The couple bought a 1940s Craftsman bungalow with solid structural bones but a cramped layout, few windows, and limited natural light. Stelly Selway lofted the first-floor ceilings, removed walls, reconfigured the kitchen, and added skylights to amplify openness and daylight. The redesign pared back competing materials and emphasized tactile surfaces to create a sense of encompassment and absorption while integrating Haury's and Saikami's distinct artistic visions.
