Volk Estates Home Designed by Thomas A. Kligerman
A new architectural addition to Volk Estates is the home designed by New York architect Tom Kligerman. When selecting an architect to design a home, Dallas homeowners occasionally go beyond the incredible pool of talented Dallas architects. This Dallas family retained Tom Kligerman, FAIA, to design a shear-Shingle style home for them in Volk Estates. While the home’s style is rooted in the northeast seaboard, it expresses the feel of the Volk Estates neighborhood, its site and the feel of the original 1920s era homes found in Volk Estates. Tom Kligerman designed this home with similar size and massing as the homes found in Volk Estates, a neighborhood specifically designed for estate homes. He also designed this home to relate to its site, which influences the home’s architecture and nuance in profound ways.
