Architect Designed Modern Home
On Katy Trail $1,495,000
Architect Gail Adams Designs Modern Home


Architect Gail Adams and architect Joe Adams of Adams Architects based in Houston designed this modern home on a large (1/3 acre) lot to look out towards the lush foliage and trees that frame the Katy Trail and to capture the mood of Northern Heights. Adams Architects have been celebrated in Houston with many architectural awards, and were recently published in Luxe interiors + design magazine.


Northern Heights - Turtle Creek Neighborhood of Architect Designed Homes

Northern Heights, an oasis of creeks, trees, trails, architecture and style, is the perfect neighborhood for an architect designed modern home. Located just down the trail from the vibrancy of Knox and Mockingbird Station in one direction and the West Village in the other, Northern Heights is also a short walk to the tranquility of Turtle Creek.

Composition of Surfaces Creates Sleek, Stylish and Welcoming Home

Metal, stone and an antique front door balance the exterior composition visually and tactilely. Balconies, elevated terraces and decks emphasize the glorious site.

Recent Renovation of Residence Accentuates Contemporary Excellence

The low winter sun streams across the dark stained wide plank wood floors. The solar tinted windows and built-in window shades protect the house from the harsh summer sun. The expansive and open spaces are perfect for entertaining. Long walls of glass and doors opening to the terraces, decks, and pool, all of which are surrounded by a tall border of green, beckon a party. The surround sound inside and outside will certainly accommodate the festivities.

Modern and Great For a Family

The style is sophisticated and modern, and also very livable for a family. A moveable fence around the pool has been installed for the safety of children. There is abundant built-in storage in the two-car garage. There is room for dog runs, a garden with a daybed, and a play area for children. Even the keypad locked gate to the Katy Trail is at the end of the driveway, allowing the easiest access to the Trail for the family to bike, run or stroll.

Location, Location, Location

It has been said location is important, and this is the truest for a modern home because the site is such a crucial element and strong component of the design. It is also helpful for a modern home to be built in a neighborhood such as Northern Heights and Northern Hills where the massing and style of the surrounding homes are a complement to the elegant modern design of a home like this. What creates the most value is when you have a location and home that is not replicable. When you walk through the small, protected Northern Heights neighborhood, all the homes enjoy the benefits of the neighborhood, but there are only a few single-family homes that enjoy being next to the Katy Trail. When you are ready to explore this neighborhood and review the architecturally significant homes in Dallas, please give me, Douglas Newby, a call.

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.

Preston Hollow, specifically Mayflower Estates, has always been considered the best neighborhood for families desiring the private school corridor.  This Mayflower Estates home designed by Hal Yoakum and John Astin Perkins epitomizes the relaxed country lane feel of Preston Hollow.  The Austin stone exterior dappled with sunlight through the magnificent red oaks and pecan trees, which is further softened by the flowering azaleas surrounding the home, reflects the grace and tranquility of an early Preston Hollow estate home.  As one Preston Hollow neighbor said, “This much loved estate home has gracefully matured into a classic Dallas beauty with the heart of a hill country tomboy.”  Many other Preston Hollow residents have said, “This was always my favorite home growing up.”  Yet another Dallas resident said, “This home is famous for having the best dining room in Dallas.”

Magnificent Preston Hollow Land and Setting

Click on thumbnails to view more and larger images.

This Preston Hollow estate home is charming from the front, commodious on the inside, and extravagantly bucolic with 40 acres of views of the neighboring treetops from the extensive rear garden. Across the street are the lakes, creeks and trees of the 15-acre Phillips estate and the adjacent 25-acre Hicks estate that you will see ascending in the distance. The cooling southeastern summer breezes filter through the lush environment of the adjacent estate properties and across the yard, verandahs and gardens of the home. Brick pathways meander through the lush setting to the pool, terraces, courtyards and even to the hidden, small garden house and workshop. In the evening the tree lighting softly illuminates the property. For decades, John Watson of John Watson Landscape Illumination, used photographs of this property to showcase on the front of his brochure his firm’s work. The original lighting has recently been updated. A family can spill out from the 750 sf informal living room to the terrace and pool or the family can gather for a formal holiday dinner for 40 in the formal dining room.

Dallas Midcentury Modern $750,000
Dallas 50's Modern Style Home for Sale

Click on thumbnails to view more and larger images.

Preston Hollow Home in Pristine Condition

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.

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.
