My Favorite Cover
Favorite cover! While many of my clients have had their home published, this is my favorite cover. This D Home cover features an architecturally significant home, a fabulous family, wonderful friends and extraordinary clients of mine, and an example of a 5,000 sq. ft. home on three highly desirable acres that has been preserved, not torn down. There is something else about this home owned by Bryan and Megan Fears at 4321 West Lawther Drive overlooking White Rock Lake that is so extraordinary and revealing about good architecture. This Georgian style home was designed by the famous modern architect Howard Meyer. We would not expect one of the finest Georgian style homes in Dallas to be designed by a modern architect, but we should. Howard Meyer, so adept at proportions, sightlines through the home to the outside, and finish details in his modern homes, applied his architectural deftness to this Georgian home. Just walking into this home, one knows it is special. Bryan and Megan Fears are the perfect owners for this 1939 home. They honored the exterior and did not reconfigure the interior to create more utilitarian spaces. Working with architect Eddie Maestri, they kept the refined finish details and the coolest bookshelves ever—they open up to become a walk-in bar. They have made the pool house into a lovely retreat and added a flourish of opulence with timeless Gracie wallpaper depicting their home, White Rock Lake and family pets.
Renovated, the home is still about the architecture and setting. Sited on top of the hill, Megan and Bryan and their sons love the rolling front lawn down to the lake in the front and the rolling rear lawn down to a park. This D Home cover and article showcases the best of Dallas, a fabulous family, great architecture and White Rock Lake. *My Favorite Cover
