Bridge to Tradition

Architect Robert Johnson Perry was a dynamic mid-century modern architect in Dallas who designed many significant modern homes. Here he designed a home for the Schepps who lived much of each year in France and loved the French aesthetic. I love when I find a traditional home designed by a modern architect. At first glance it looks traditional. A more penetrating look sees modern influences of the floor plan, proportions, and the home’s relationship to its environment. This home with a footbridge over White Rock Creek to the front door is universally enticing. It has captured imaginations for decades and has survived because this architectural design is still so well suited and well placed in the 21st century.
