Dallas, Texas

Nestled amongst the large pecan and oak trees of rural Dallas, sits a modern farmhouse that feels like a Napa Valley estate. Enamored with the mature trees on the property, we designed the house as a series of small pavilions connected by glass links that weave their way through the trees. As a primary residence, we incorporated a south-facing courtyard and porch to take advantage of the Texas climate, as well as a north-facing evening courtyard to enjoy the rural streetscape and socialize with neighbors. The simple board and batten gabled structures are complemented by highly textured elements in the landscape to create a perfect visual balance for this Dallas location.
