Palomar Residence 

After a tornado swept through Dallas North Dallas in 2019, an existing residence in Preston Hollow was damaged beyond repair. The homeowners decided to build a new residence on the site based on their current and future needs. The clients envisioned their new home to be modern, sustainable, and timeless while providing warmth and comfort. Having a large gathering space that extended beyond the interior to encompass outdoors was a priority, along with incorporating highly functional yet beautiful public and private spaces. The new home reflects the owners’ personality and provides a balanced backdrop for their extensive art collection, including a heroic-scale custom designed sculpture in the reflecting pool. 

The home is set back on the lot with an expansive yard for sculpture installations along with newly planted mature trees that bring back what was lost after the storm. Upon entering the residence, views out to the pool and mature plantings resonate throughout. The private offices are shielded from the street and have shaded views out to a meditative Japanese style garden. The design is rooted in classic modernism, embracing the principles of the International Style: a composition of thin planes and volumes, visible steel framework, large expanses of glass, flat roofs, and no applied ornamentation. The exterior palette radiates a sense of harmony between the natural warm tones of Douglas Fir wood, a sleek Italian ceramic rain screen facade, and the base of split-faced Coldspring black granite laid in linear coursing.

The clients requested an intimately scaled dining room, but also wanted to be able to host larger gatherings for family and guests. The innovative design solution is a movable louvered screen that allows for significant expansion of the dining room. The expansive double-sided garage and courtyard also allow for outdoor entertaining. Carefully curated materials including porcelain tile floors, quartz countertops, and warm wood cladding are notable features throughout the residence.

Ricks Circle Residence

Mature trees and a spacious site are key components of what attracted the homeowners to this established neighborhood. The home was designed for the active empty nesters to include a pickleball court, a pool, and a floating pavilion with drop down screens allowing for year-round entertaining of family and friends. Large glass walls wrap a central green space that flows seamlessly to the exterior entertaining spaces. The open floor plan can accommodate large groups in the great room, but a smaller gathering space highlighted by a steel screen sculpture created by James Cinquemani was designed for TV watching and more intimate gatherings. The screen detail was also designed for the door to the wine room. The second floor includes an exercise room and a home office with glass walls overlooking the treetops. The homeowner’s art collection is beautifully displayed throughout the home. 

Rough cut small format stone as well as larger smooth cut limestone are the primary exterior materials. Rift-cut Douglas Fir soffits and composite wood siding provide a warm accent to the natural stone. These same materials are carried through the interior of the home. Rift cut white oak floors and cabinets combined with the natural stone walls create a warm and inviting atmosphere for entertaining and relaxing in their daily lives.
