3215 Princeton Street
Lionel Morrison is the starkest of the regional modernists. Reduction, not exuberance, is his goal. This 1994 home, while very elegant and precise, can be seen as a shed with a dogtrot and compound wall to accommodate the stairs, or as a simple rectangle with a two story glass appendage allowing the staircase to be an integral part of the design.
Grandbury stone is used for the vertical spaces, cream stone is used for the horizontal spaces. The rows of clear and sandblasted windows add mystery. There is a continuous wall with floor lights that are uninterrupted as they proceed inside. This home is the perfect approach to suburban infill on blocks not yet filled by mansions as this one, close to the Katy Trail.
In 1995, Dallas AIAA honored 3215 Princeton with a Citation Award.
