Best Architects in Dallas
This section was developed to give you a brief overview of the architecture, architects and architectural styles you will find in Highland Park, University Park and Dallas, Texas.
As a realtor helping clients buy and sell architect designed homes we see Dallas has a rich history of architecture. Dallas patrons commissioned the most important architects from the East Coast, West Coast and the Midwest to design homes, and retained Dallas and Texas architects who incorporate the indigenous qualities of the region into their modern designs. The influence of these architects in Dallas can most easily be divided into three categories: Modern, Texas Modern and Eclectic. For over 100 years Dallas was a vibrant growing city with unlimited space, which allowed Dallas architects ample opportunity to pursue their art. Here you will find a brief profile of some of the architects who have made an impact on Dallas. See featured architect designed homes offered for sale.
The wealth of good architecture in Dallas comes from the influences and interaction of Dallas architects exploring European traditions and early twentieth century interpretations of eclectic style; Dallas architects who draw from indigenous Texas design and materials; Dallas architects that design in a contemporary style that utilizes Texas materials, but is less regional in its point of view; and architects with a national and international reputation who explore their design ideas in Dallas.
Selecting the Right Architect For Your Home Creates Value
Helping select the right architect is one of the many ways Douglas Newby benefits his clients to help create value for their home. The two of the most important things for you as a buyer is to evaluate the architecture of a home and the site of a home. The architecture must respond to your specific needs and aesthetic taste. A site must be able to offer you the most enjoyment and be the best investment.
Award-winning Realtor Douglas Newby knows the architects and understands how they impact the real estate market.
Featured Architect Larry Boerder Has Designed 4400 Belfort Place
4400 Belfort Place Will Be the Finest Highland Park Home to Come on the Market in Years
This Was the Final One Acre Lot in Highland Park in Which to Build a New Home
Since 4400 Belfort Place was the last one-acre lot that did not already have a very large home on it or have a historically significant home on it with millions of dollars invested in renovation, it was important that the Highland Park home built here was the best. When you see this architecturally significant home, you will agree that it is spectacular.
Regardless of the Year, A New Highland Park Home of this Quality Previously Has Not Come on the Market
Regardless of the year, none of us have previously seen in Highland Park a new home that has come on the market with the quality and elegance of this Highland Park inspired Spanish Colonial Revival style home. In fact, in the last several years, there has not been a home of any age in Highland Park on an acre of land designed by a nationally known architect that has come on the market with the quality or appeal of the new home being built at 4400 Belfort Place. This home reaffirms the architectural excellence of Highland Park. Architect Larry Boerder has designed this Spanish Colonial style home with Mediterranean and Italianate detail to reflect the best of Highland Park and to reflect this timeless architectural style into the future.

Dallas Architect Understands Modern
We Will Help You Determine the Best Architect and Site For Your New Modern Home or Estate Home
Helping you determine the best architecture and the best site is one way we benefit our clients. Really good architecture will enhance your personal enjoyment of the home and the superior design will enhance your investment when the time comes to sell the home. The specific site is more important than a general location. The real estate saying Location, Location, Location is responding to the general prices of current areas considered desirable. A specific site within a location determines the quality of investment and enjoyment of the property. The inferior sites of good locations are generally over-priced and the best sites of a good location are generally under-priced. If you decide you would like me to represent you, we will discuss the best architecture and the best sites that are available or could possibly be available. If you are looking for acreage or a building site, we can review the most talented architects who might be a good fit for you in both approach and design.
I offer the finest homes and represent clients with the greatest understanding of aesthetics, architecture and design. Please call me to see if I should represent you.

Architects and Designers Appreciate Douglas Newby
Your letter made me think about the few houses I designed in my 42 year career as a practicing architect. Their few design attributes have long been horribly abused by successive owners. It is good to know you are still locating and marketing the houses designed by the better breed of Dallas architects.
All the best,
David Braden, FAIA
