Path of Urban Home
The perception of a downtown home only 25 blocks from an art district is one of grit, concrete, and density. In Dallas, our downtown neighborhoods might have front porches, landscaped boulevards, over 100-year-old live oak trees, flowering gardens and Koi ponds. A clear view of the skyline backs up the ribbon of green space traversing the neighborhood of homes layered with mature trees, ornamental trees, and blooming flowers.

Homes can be playful
I remember as a child my parents almost bought a home because of the charming playhouse on the property. The playhouse posted here also generated great delight with the buyers, even when the main attraction was the architecturally significant house on Swiss Avenue, the brick guest quarters and the stone house for the pool equipment. Homes can generate happiness in so many ways!

Gardens integrate land and home
Gardens draw people from inside the home and connect them to the land. The architectural landscape creates outside rooms that flow with the interior rooms, creating a home that makes homeowners happy.

Of its time – before its time
C.W. Bulger #Architect designed this 6,000 s.f. Italian style home reflecting the best architecture in #MungerPlace developed as the finest residence park in all of the south land. #PalladianWindows march around this #HistoricHome with oversized passageways connecting spacious rooms with 11 ft. ceilings. This early estate home on an elevated lot overlooks a landscaped #boulevard and #garden surrounding the renovated #historic home, porte-cochere, 3 car garage, pool, arbor, and stone building containing pool equipment. The architecture is of its time in the early #20thCentury when it was built in 1924, and it was before its time now in the #21stCentury. This home reflects the open floor plan, space, and design people currently love.

Neighborhood Restaurants Extend the Home
Le Bilboquet Restaurant welcomes wonderful couple, new Travis Street homeowners, with a bottle of wine and choice table. The architect-designed homes by Bud Oglesby, Lionel Morrison, Frank Welch on Travis have the added advantage of being down the street from many neighborhood restaurants that treat guests like family.

A Red Oak as Big as Texas
An arborist said this red oak tree on the property of this White Rock Lake home was as old as Texas and one of the largest in the state. Few trees can anchor a 4-acre estate lawn like this red oak tree does. Margaret Hunt Hill kept this tree groomed and nurtured for years for her brother. The subsequent owners have taken the same care.

Architecture and Azaleas
Architect Frank Welch designed this #ArchitecturallySignificant townhouse in the 1970s with the oversized soft Mexican continuous brick walls #TexasModern architect O’Neil Ford made famous in his work. The framework of this powerful architecture is softened by the interior open air walkway, the interior courtyard and rear courtyard with a layered canopy of towering and ornamental trees. Azaleas announce a delicacy and sensitivity that is also conveyed in the architectural work of Frank Welch on Travis by a branch of Turtle Creek in the Turtle Creek Corridor.

Architecture is more than art
Architect Santiago Calatrava designed this bridge as art, and it stands as an architectural beacon for Dallas. However, architecture is more than art. This Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge connects both sides of the city over the Trinity River and links the trails and paths that lead to nature and the vibrant sites of Dallas including that for Amazon HQ2.

Some things are timeless
Great design, tradition, fun, family, memories, friends, celebrations, Savile Row suits, Hermes ties, pocket squares, Cartier cufflinks, slippers and red wagons are timeless. Robert Pasin, a brilliant friend who I originally met at the Vancouver TED Conference of which he is a major contributor, invited me to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Radioflyer. This celebration resonated with me on many levels. Robert’s family started the business, he is from Hinsdale, my hometown; the original Radioflyer factory has been renovated and designed by the Gensler architectural firm for the Radioflyer headquarters; the history of this company founded by a European immigrant is profound; and the family and firm certainly know how to have fun and spread fun. Thank you to Robert and all of the @Radioflyers.

Art Deco Does Dallas
In 1936 Texas celebrated the Centennial at Fair Park in East Dallas by building the largest collection of Art Deco designed buildings in the country for the event. Now the architecturally and historically significant structures are used for the largest Earth Day celebration in the world and the largest state fair in the country that can be reached by the Santa Fe Trail or DART.
