Home away from home
Dallas attracts architects from across the country to design #ArchitecturallySignificantHomes In the Trinity River Forest, architect Mark Finlay from Connecticut designed this clubhouse for the Trinity Forest Golf Club, the new home of the Byron Nelson Golf Tournament and SMU varsity golf team. This sunlit clubhouse overlooking the forest and golf course designed by Ben Crenshaw becomes a home away from home. Architect Mark Finlay designed this space with the same characteristics of a home that makes us happy. #TrinityForestGolfClub #MPFArchitects #ByronNelson #Architect #Architecture #HomesThatMakeUsHappy #SMU #SMUGolf #Clubhouse #GolfClub #GolfCourse #BenCrenshaw #Golf #Landscape #InteriorDesign #Modern #Contemporary #PathToTrinityGroves #Park #Dallas #CountryClub #TrinityRiver
Cafe Pacific 33 Anniversary
Congratulations to Jack Knox for creating Cafe Pacific, THE Dallas restaurant for 33 years. The epi center of Highland Park Village; home away from home; for iconic Dallasites; and for all those who seek the best food and service. Thank you, Jack Knox, for the joy you bring to your old friends and those just arriving in Dallas. And the elegant and generous Jack Knox has provided a 1980 menu with 1980 prices tonight, with all proceeds going to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital. Wishing Jack Knox and Cafe Pacific many more decades of great success.
Arch Swank threw us a curve
Architect Arch Swank, one of the great modern architects in the 1930s-1950s, designed this midcentury modern home on a private drive to #WhiteRockLake. A floating wall always accentuates the modernity of a home. Even more fabulous is the curved floating wall that Arch Swank created for this modern home. Interior designer Paul Draper respected the original architecture with his #renovation #design and contractor Eddie Perez executed it beautifully. This architectural project is a triumph for #historic #preservation for which #Dallas is known. #ArchSwank #AIA #Architect #Architecture #ArchitecturallySignificant #ArchitecturallySignificantModernHomes #Contemporary #Design #HomesThatMakeUsHappy #MidCenturyModern #Modern #ModernArchitecture #ModernHome #ModernDesign #InteriorDesign #FloatingWall #PathToTrinityGroves #SantaFeTrail #EastDallas #Neighborhood #Lakewood
Artist and Actor Kevin Page Makes Dallas History
Kevin Page was on the original Dallas show that still resonates with people around the world. Invited back for the current Dallas seasons, Kevin Page took on the role of Bum, J.R. Ewing’s closest friend. One of the most iconic American phrases is “Who shot J.R.?” In a tribute to Larry Hagman and a great honor to Kevin Page, Bum and J.R. collaborated in J.R.’s death and final revenge with Bum pulling the trigger.
The ultimate answer to who killed J.R. will always be Bum, played by Kevin Page in a brilliant performance.
A group of unknowing friends gathered at amodern home on Nonesuch Road, across the street from theLakewood home of the late Stanley Marcus.
It was great fun to be at the viewing party of the final episode where beforehand Kevin Page made a very moving tribute to Larry Hagman, his acting genius, his kindness, and the fondness so much of the world had for him.

Frank Welch design makes us happy

Surprise of a city lot
Some city modern homes blend into the cityscape or the landscape from the street and then as one moves through the house comes the surprise!
