North Dallas House

Architectural Design Highlights

Designed for a longtime client with multiple rural projects, this 7,000-square-foot home offered a chance to explore a distinctly urban expression. It follows a strict grid, broken only at moments of transition. The entry is one such moment: a bridge crossing a shallow pool, rotated slightly off axis, offers a soft counterpoint to the home’s geometry.

Ashlar-cut stone extends indoors, and the grid reasserts itself in the plan until, once again, the stair tower subtly shifts. Three live oaks were preserved and shaped the footprint. A 75-foot Olympic lap pool completes the quiet formality of the site. Every gesture is deliberate, yet nothing feels forced.
