Gary Cunningham, Dallas Architect

Preston Hollow Home Built in 1980’s

6730 Northaven Road, Dallas, Texas

Contemporary Home Cantilevered Over Lake
on 1.51 Acres

Gary Cunningham, FAIA, designed this modern home for its site, a 1.51 acre peninsula. A private road for only two home owners crosses the private bridge and leads to the land surrounded by water on three sides. A long, stairstepped wall and gated entry leads to the garden and provides total privacy for the home surrounded by windows on three sides.

From the kitchen and breakfast room you look across the pool to the lake along the side of the property. The living room is cantilevered over the water with aquatic views in three directions. The dining room is just as magical and serene with warm wood and glazed walls emphasizing the lake wrapping around the house. In many of the rooms sunlight comes in from three directions, streaming across the maple floors, accentuating the art and illuminating the contemporary spaces.

The Northaven Neighborhood is in the Heart of the Private School Corridor

Preston Hollow Modern Home for Art, Entertaining and Family

You have seen modern homes that are perfect for art but difficult to live in. You have seen homes that are pleasingly stark but also feel stern. You have seen houses that are enticing for a sophisticated couple but not compatible for a family. You have seen modern homes that are sculptural beauty but have no garden. It is rare you see this – a home that exudes modernity, is sophisticated, elegant and fun. Surrounded by a lake, garden and trees, outdoor living spaces are integrated into the design for everyday living and entertaining space. Art is beautifully showcased by the proportions of the space and the natural light. With five bedrooms, this home is compatible for a family with a design that is intimate and allows great separation. See more on this modern home.

Gary Cunningham Designed Architecturally Significant Industrial Building

3321 Armstrong Avenue, Dallas, Texas

Gary Cunningham and Sharon Odom are responsible for the renovation design of the Dallas Power and Light Utility Station by the Katy Trail. No whole building and industrial space has been as extensively recreated for residential use as is this 1929 building. Gary and Sharon used this building as a canvas for their use of fine materials, composite materials, industrial materials, and the texture that came with the space.
