Texas, Dallas County, Dallas, USA

It is a rare opportunity that such a special home born out of the love of architecture & crafted with such attention to detail comes along. This extraordinary home is both modern & forward thinking while also being grounded in nostalgia. Designed by A.Gruppo Architects, the outstanding design was on the AIA Home Tour & was featured in an architecture design book. The unique yet familiar design beckons you to stop & take notice. From the motor court to the charming vegetable garden in the backyard, this home exemplifies how good design can improve your life. The deft hand of talented architects perfectly matched with design obsessed clients can produce memorable results...and that is just what this home is. The house lays out as a bar running the length of the site, with two wings extending to the east. This provides shading from the west sun in the courtyard during the summer. The front wing contains the living area featuring a polycarbonate wall that provides diffused light during the day & can be illuminated with multiple LED color settings by night. A steel & walnut room divider houses the TV & swivels to allow viewing from both sides. The sleek kitchen & separate butler's pantry make this the perfect home for entertaining. The hallway also features a polycarbonate light monitor connecting the living area wing & primary suite. The primary suite was designed as a box within a box where the central walnut-clad box serves as the organizing element with the upper portion wrapped in polycarbonate to filter natural light. The sum of the parts is well thought out, functional & beautiful. Outdoors, the property offers a variety of landscaped areas, including a central courtyard with a screened room offering the perfect space to enjoy the outdoors bug free. Throughout the home, you'll find unique architectural details, such as the wood & glass pivot front door, the zipper skylight & the beautiful fish scale shingles complement the modern farmhouse aesthetic
