Scott Lyons, Architect


Every few years a great Texas modern home becomes available. Here is a home designed by the great Texas modern architect of his era. Scott Lyons is an architect who worked with O’Neil Ford and continued exploring the same architectural themes when he established his own firm. After O’Neil Ford and before Frank Welch, Scott Lyons designed many of the most important homes in the Texas modern style using indigenous materials, balconies, terraces, continuous brick walls, walls of windows and designs that were aware of and took advantage of the environment and the site.

Click on thumbnails to view more and larger images of this Preston Hollow Estate Home.

Eugene and Margaret McDermott hired him to design both their Highland Park home and their country house in Allen. Scott Lyons also designed the home for Mr. and Mrs. Dan Williams overlooking the Creek at St. Johns. His architecture works beautifully with the period masterpieces and contemporary art found in the homes he designed.


The Aesthetic Qualities of Texas Modern Architecture

Click on thumbnails to view more and larger images of this Preston Hollow Estate Home.

David Williams and O’Neil Ford established Texas modern architecture to create a modern style that reflects the pioneer homes of Texas, which they considered as modern as the modern homes of the great European architects. They wanted to create a modern style for Texas in the same way Frank Lloyd Wright created a modern style for the Midwest. They succeeded.

They oriented houses to capture the cool breezes coming from the southeast. Scott Lyons did the same with this Texas modern home, orienting the house with large windows and sliding glass doors that will allow summer breezes to pass through the 50 acres of trees of the two estate properties to the southeast, the Hicks and Phillips estates. Homes were traditionally protected from the harsh afternoon sun while the morning sunlight and low winter sun is invited into the home. Here, tall narrow windows are used on the west side of the home; wide expanses of glass are used on the south side of the home. Continuous exterior and interior soft Mexican brick walls are only divided by walls of glass. A standing-seam metal roof reflects Texas and is energy efficient and kind to the environment.


Quality of Design

Click on thumbnails to view more and larger images of this Preston Hollow Estate Home.

This home is well-designed, visually very quiet, and extremely unassuming from the street. The one-story house with a standing-seam metal roof sits down from the street and in the best of Texas traditions blends into the landscape. The front façade of this brick home has very few windows which adds to the modesty and privacy of the home. The rear façade is almost entirely floor to ceiling windows, illuminating the home with morning and early afternoon sunlight. You will see the timeless style and durability of materials throughout the home. This estate home is not opulent, but exudes quality and grace.

The homes on both sides and across the street are also architect designed period homes that blend into the landscape rather than tower over it, providing a pleasing rather than imposing environment.


Spectacular Land

Click on thumbnails to view more and larger images of this Preston Hollow Estate Home.

The total 2.63 acre site has 460 feet of creek frontage with 10 acres of private gardens on the other side of the creek.  The incredible width of this estate property allows ample room for a tennis court adjacent to the 3,800 square foot Nick Glazbrook designed guest house. A large swimming pool, terraces, gardens, mature trees, rugged ravine, broad grass meanderings along a creek and a small lake enhance the enjoyment of the property. The incredible setting accentuates the home designed to enjoy the landscape and Texas environment.


Privacy and Convenience of Estate Property Location

Click on thumbnails to view more and larger images of this Preston Hollow Estate Home.

This home is on Gaywood Road, a street with very little traffic as it loops around from Walnut Hill and ends at Meaders. Except for use by residents, it is a little traveled street because it really doesn’t lead anywhere. There are very few windows on the public side of the house with the rear façade made up of almost all windows, glass doors, and glazed openings with very private views of extensive land, trees, creek, lake and the 10 acres of a private garden which is part of the 20 acre estate on the other side of the creek.

While this contemporary residence is tucked away on a hidden and bucolic street, it is only a couple of long blocks away from the Toll Road at Walnut Hill Lane. Whether you are stopping by Border’s Books at Preston and Royal or going to Highland Park Village or to the office downtown, this home is conveniently located, protected and well away from noise and traffic, but within easy access to all the important roads.

Dallas Midcentury Modern $895,000
Dallas 50's Modern Style Home for Sale
Preston Hollow Home in Pristine Condition


The original owners of the last standing, architect designed, pristine condition, midcentury modern home in Preston Hollow have asked me to offer this architecturally significant home for sale.

In 1957 the stylish and sophisticated owners assembled an incredibly talented team to design a midcentury modern home.


Click on thumbnails to view more and larger images.

Architect William Benson was joined by the Dallas’ top modern interior designer Louise Kahn and celebrated landscape architect Richard Myrick. The result is a home that defines a modern era that continues to inspire and engage. The spaces are both commodious and efficient. The selection of materials further defines spaces, creates a simultaneously serene and exhilarating environment, and provides warmth and vibrancy.

The cork floors are timeless and elegant and very 1950s. A judicious use of interior brick walls along with the white walls accentuates the floating walls of African Korina wood cabinets, book shelves and vertical panels. The 20 mm glazed Italian glass tile was individually set, creating a dynamic finish for the fireplace hearth and hood. These tiles appear as the authentic inspiration for the fashionable ceramic tile being introduced today in all the best design centers.

The heavy gauged glazed metal framed sliding glass doors with an internal locking system allow one to look out onto a garden, courtyard or terrace from every room.

Over ten years ago the Dallas Chapter AIA explored the city to find the best examples of modern homes built in the 1950s. This home was one of the seven homes chosen for Dallas’ first tour of midcentury modern homes titled 50s Cool so as not to confuse people with generic 1950s houses, as this was before the growing popularity and understanding of midcentury modern homes.

The owners have meticulously maintained this modern home which is evident from its exquisite condition. Even the fabric on the original modern furniture shows no signs of wear.

This modern residence has 2,720 square feet, four carports, two bedrooms, a library, formal and informal rooms, high ceilings and a great feeling of space. Since the home is on .47 acres there is plenty of room to add additional bedrooms on both ends of the home as originally contemplated as a possibility by William Benson, AIA. This contemporary home enjoys a canopy of tall mature trees and perfectly placed ornamental trees that punctuate the landscape design of Richard Myrick.

If you like modern architecture, you will love this midcentury modern home that reflects the best of the 20th century and remains current today.

Max Levy Architect Designed

Click on thumbnails to view additional and larger images.

The outdoors is successfully brought indoors with a courtyard that centers the home and offers private views of the greenbelt that frames the rear of the property. The patterns of dappled light on the interior of the home come from the redwood slats of the clerestory windows. Working with the natural elements and using sunlight to the advantage of the home is the genius of Max Levy.

Interior designer Nancy Leib understood the importance of the sunlit patterns on the interior of the home as she chose natural tones to complement them. Helping to integrate the home to the site were landscape architects Mesa Design Group. This home combines a stunning design, floor plan and textures that bring the outdoors inside and simultaneously maintains sophisticated spaces for an art collector or for one who just appreciates good design.

Edward Durell Stone was one of a handful of international architects who had the ability to design prominent skyscrapers, the symbol of the 20th century, modern museums looking at art and collections in a new way, and homes combining technology with humanity.

The open floor plan eliminates hallways in this 10,000 square foot home. The tall ceilings, walls of windows and glass doors celebrate light and the outside. Denby marble from Vermont, cut and polished in Italy connote elegance, the hand-carved arabesque wooden screens celebrate craftsmanship. The concrete pier and beam foundation reinforced with steel beams establish the quality of construction and renovation.

Courtyards create and protect outdoor space and provide the same sense of serenity on one acre as country estates on much more land. The peristyle extends views over vast amounts of landscaped land.
