Modern Reflection on Mid Century

Architect Howard Meyer made his modern design in the midcentury look current in the 21st century. Today, there is a greater emphasis on sunlight, shadows, and incorporating a modern residence into the site. This can be seen at 3525 Turtle Creek. This high-rise residence was the epitome of sophisticated modern design, luxury and living. After all, the celebrated interior designer and civic leader, Louise Kahn, lived at 3525 Turtle Creek. As we reflect on the inspiration and importance of this corridor of trees and parks along Turtle Creek, we see the sustained results over 60 years. In this Turtle Creek corridor, the first high-rises of Dallas had become integrated into the Turtle Creek neighborhood of architect-designed homes, historic homes, and retail that is of a desired scale of this close-in city neighborhood. Along Turtle Creek we see the most sensitivity to preservation of original homes, the creation of architect-designed homes and interesting mixed use that links Highland Park to the Arts District and downtown Dallas. Few cities have the combination of a neighborhood with a bucolic background for architect-designed residences and city vibrancy all around it.
