A winding drive from Shadywood provides an elegant approach to this original estate home designed by architect Wilson McClure in 1938 and renovated in 2010. This architecturally significant period home is surrounded by wide lawns, wrap around terraces and porches that look out at expansive lawns, mature trees, and the rugged terrain of a substantial free-flowing creek. You will see children’s tree houses and play equipment in the wooded areas, extensive lawns for sports, manicured gardens closer to the house, detached quarters above the garage, a sport court and paths to the creek.

Some of the best classical homes in Dallas have been designed by architects such as Howard Meyer who are best known for their modern homes, but have designed extraordinary traditional homes. This home designed by Wilson McClure is one of the very best examples of an architect who excelled at designing both eclectic style homes derived from classic European design and contemporary homes because of his graceful proportions found in each.
Perfect Proportions of Bluffview Home
![](https://architecturallysignificant.dougnewby.com/wp-content/uploads/3451/Living-4-Shadywood-46182.jpg)
Over the years, when I think of a home with perfect proportions, I think of the formal living room of 4618 Shadywood Lane. The width, depth and ceiling heights are perfectly balanced with large double-hung windows and wide door openings, allowing sunlight and freedom of movement. The best modernists begin with the interior of a home and move to the exterior design of the home which emphasizes the graceful dimensions and proportions of the rooms. In contrast, often times the architects of traditional homes begin with a beautiful exterior and then fill in the interior rooms. What I have found interesting is that one of the great estate home architects of the 20th century, Maurice Fatio, known for the proportions of his homes, was trained in Switzerland with Karl Moser, the godfather of Modernism.
