Texas Modern Style Architecture
Texas Modern Architecture
The majority of the Texas award-winning architects have all been influenced by the style originated by David Williams and O’Neil Ford who combined the indigenous quality of pioneer homes with the modern tenants of Europe. This regional modernism has continued uninterrupted for 75 years by Frank Welch, James Pratt, Max Levy, David Lake, Ted Flato, Ron Wommack, Cliff Welch, Gary Cunningham, and many others.

4701 Drexel Drive, Dallas, Texas
Scott Lyons designed this international style house with a touch of regionalism. Scott Lyons was a modernist who used indigenous material and created graceful spaces. The guest house home and the house in the country take the Texas indigenous theme a step further. The intersecting gabled sections create a courtyard so often used in Texas houses. While soft tan brick is employed, the home is crisper and more elegant than many regional homes. 4701 Drexel has been generously made available to Dallas and remains one of the city’s favorite homes.
