This Dallas client wanted architect Michael Lyons to design a custom home in the French style, but with a slightly more informal feel and without excessively busy details. The residential home’s layout takes advantage of backyard views that include a creek and heavily wooded greenbelt. A veranda with an outdoor fireplace create an inviting space for outdoor entertaining and the upper balcony off the media room takes advantage of views in the area. The husband’s extensive baseball memorabilia collection is located directly at the top of the stairs by the media room of this residential Dallas French home designed by architect Lyons.
