Highland Park Highland Park, Texas
Set along the storied fabric of Dallas’ Highland Park, this home balances modern clarity with a deep respect for its historic surroundings. Classical proportions and restrained forms draw from the neighborhood’s established architectural language, reinterpreted through minimalist detailing and a rich palette of materials. A textured limestone exterior, slate roof, and steel-framed windows ground the house in permanence, while subtle variations in surface and color lend softness and depth. Designed for a large, multigenerational family, the plan emphasizes flow and connection, allowing living spaces to move easily from indoors to out, where fireplaces and gathering areas encircle the pool. Inside, warm woods, layered textures, and a quiet spectrum of neutrals create a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, punctuated by soulful accents that add character without excess. Timeless rather than trend-driven, the result is a home that feels both firmly rooted in its context and confidently of the present.
