Rough, Prickly and Refined

A rugged approach to a home located close to downtown Dallas emphasizes the refinement of Frank Welch-designed Texas Modern architecture. When Frank Welch first saw the limestone outcroppings of a remnant railroad embankment, he immediately visualized a modern home that responded to this site. Frank’s gentle touch and elegant lines of the modern home he designed here are contrasted and accentuated by the landscape adjacent to the front door – gnarly rock, cactus, concrete. This three-story home with sweeping balconies and elevated terraces and pool has been further refined by interior designer David Caldwallader who also responds to the robust natural edge of the site for his graceful and minimal interior design.
