Larry Boerder, Dallas Architect

Dallas and Texas Architect

Larry Boerder is the leading Dallas Traditionalist architect who works across a range of classical Western styles. His architectural impact on Highland Park, University Park and Dallas has been profound. More significant than the large number of homes he has designed, 200 homes, is the significance of the homes themselves. Architect Larry Boerder has designed a considerable percentage of the truly meaningful homes in Highland Park and Dallas. Even the largest homes Larry Boerder has designed appear rooted in the community’s history, scale and place.

Larry Boerder, a Dallas architect, grew up in a family of architects. In an era where most professors are teaching modern theory, he investigated historical styles. His Master’s thesis was on the homes on Swiss Avenue. He did the illustrations for the book by Virginia and Lee McAlester, Great American Homes and Their Architectural Styles. He has designed dozens of new homes that are not overwrought with European detailing to reflect eclectic styles with twenty-first century amenities.


Example of Homes Architect Larry Boerder Designed

4400 Belfort Place

4400 Belfort - Rendering
At 4400 Belfort Place, architect Larry Boerder designed an architecturally significant Spanish Colonial Revival estate home with Mediterranean detail on a nearly one-acre site. One enjoys seeing the subtle symmetry and balanced proportions delineated for different functions. Also, one enjoys the cut and carved stone ornamental detail punctuating the hand-troweled hard plaster over masonry walls.

A great example of the architectural significance of Larry Boerder’s work is the estate home he designed and is currently being constructed on one of the most prominent sites in Highland Park: 4400 Belfort Place. Here you will see his architectural vision and sensitivity to Highland Park and the site. His creative inspiration, exquisite eye for proportions, and insistence for quality construction and materials produce an architecturally significant home.

Other 14,000 square foot homes in Dallas have been built, but where do you find one that is private and gracious, removed from a road, and not in sight of other homes. In what other city within eight miles of an internationally recognized Arts District can you find such architectural and bucolic excellence.

Larry Boerder, defining great architecture in Dallas, pulled from the eclectic European vocabulary of the Edwardian estate homes to design this architectural master work. Grand rooms with tall arched windows overlook the gardens. A sumptuous mahogany library with mixed wood floors including burled walnut is breathtaking, elegant and inviting.
