Lionel Morrison, Dallas Architect
Dallas architect, Lionel Morrison, working in concert with Susan Seifert, has created the largest body of modern work in Dallas. He is a reductionist whose austere design celebrates space, the interaction of volume and voids. His buildings painted do not distract from the space with ornamental color, generally relying on white for exterior and wall surfaces. Lionel Morrison can also be credited with introducing the first modern single-family attached home in Dallas found along the Katy Trail.

This modern townhouse was the architectural project that Dallas AIA Chapter selected as one of the Dallas 50 Significant Homes for their 50th Anniversary. The prestigious selected committee recognized Lionel Morrison's use of space and natural light to create a delightful and sophisticated modern residence in a re-emerging neighborhood close to downtown. This contemporary home initiated the movement of other modern homes and town houses in Northern Heights an older neighborhood between the Katy Trail and Turtle Creek.

North Versailles

His clean, stark architecture is recognizable as is the influence of his early employer, architect E. G. Hamilton. Both Morrison and Hamilton preferred an open plan versus rooms and cubicles. Mies van der Rohe was an inspiration for both, as was the Barcelona Pavilion that had clean spaces and walls of one surface, either marble or wood. Single planes of unadorned material cutting through public and private spaces on the interior and exterior, define his buildings. His practice is equally divided between commercial and residential work, which also includes a strong practice in South America.
