Max M. Sandfield, Dallas Architect
Past Dallas and Texas Architect
Max Sandfield co-designed with architect Howard Meyer Temple Emanu-El which was featured on the cover of LIFE magazine the year it was dedicated in 1957. It also received from the American Institute of Architects a special 25 Year Award recognizing architecture of enduring merit.
Max Sandfield was also the architect of the Columbian Club of Dallas built in 1954. Well respected by his peers, he served as president of the Dallas Chapter of AIA. Max Sandfield was also a recognized artist, working with wood, stone and bronze. The Dallas Morning News architecture critic David Dillon referred to Temple Emanu-El as “the finest architect/artist collaboration in the Southwest.” His best known residence is the highly acclaimed work at 3928 Wentwood in University Park, the home he designed for his family.

Midcentury Modern Home
3928 Wentwood Drive, Dallas, Texas
University Park Residence of Architect – Sold by Douglas Newby
Max Sandfield designed this home for his own residence acting as architect and client. Max Sandfield was able to be more daring. He designed one of the first modern homes in Dallas capturing the architectural elements we now so closely associate with this revered architectural period.
The family has agreed that I will be able to offer this home at the value of its 75 foot by 150 foot lot with a deed restriction that it cannot be torn down. We are in the last decade of an era where original owners are offering their 50 year old midcentury homes for sale. It is essential these homes remain as a reflection of an era and as the original examples of a style that is being vigorously revisited and appreciated through new construction and design.
