This inviting entryway, expertly designed by Dallas landscape architects, significantly enhances curb appeal and emphasizes stylish outdoor living. A substantial wooden pergola with a corrugated metal roof creates a sheltered and architecturally striking transition to the home. The natural wood tones beautifully complement the brick and siding, adding warmth and visual interest. While detailed landscaping isn't fully visible, the prominent and well-crafted structure strongly suggests a thoughtfully planned outdoor living space just beyond the entrance, ideal for enjoying the North Texas climate. The focus on a covered and aesthetically pleasing entry elevates the home's overall appeal and functionality.

The image captures a modern, single-story house. The facade of the building is predominantly white. A substantial overhang supported by thick white pillars creates a covered patio. The overhang features a dark, horizontal beam with a wooden paneling underneath, providing a warm contrast. Recessed lighting is visible under the overhang.
The house has large glass sliding doors with black frames leading to a backyard with a concrete floor.

The mirrored console was elevated with a refined “glow-up,” featuring a new quartzite top that introduces natural stone texture, subtle veining, and a heightened sense of luxury. The addition of several inches in width was carefully calibrated to improve proportional balance with the adjacent 12-foot sofa, creating a more harmonious visual relationship within the seating area.
This thoughtful refinement enhances both form and function, allowing the console to read as a more substantial architectural element while maintaining its reflective lightness. The result is a sophisticated interplay of scale, materiality, and proportion that reinforces the room’s curated, high-end aesthetic.

This wide view captures the dining area seamlessly integrated with the kitchen beyond. A substantial wood dining table with upholstered seating rests atop a soft neutral rug, creating a warm and inviting gathering space.
Along the wall, custom white built in cabinetry provides generous storage and display. Glass front uppers with decorative mullions and interior lighting highlight curated serveware, while a textured tile backsplash and marble countertop add depth and refinement. Overhead, a sculptural brass and glass chandelier mirrors the fixtures in the kitchen, reinforcing the cohesive, elevated design throughout the open concept space.

This charming Lyon Park house was built in 1925, when the typical kitchen was small, modest and closed-off from the rest of the home. For a family that loves to cook and bake, the cramped, outdated and dysfunctional kitchen was a source of constant frustration. Our new design expanded the kitchen into an adjacent sunroom, opening it up to the rest of the home and creating a spacious, light and updated kitchen that now serves as the heart of the home. We more than doubled the amount of countertop space and added much needed pantry storage as well as a dedicated coffee nook. The bold blue herringbone backsplash, honed black granite, white shaker cabinets and substantial matte black pulls complement the rustic modern style of the adjoining living space.

Inspiration for a mid-sized timeless backyard deck remodel in New York with a pergola

Located in, Summit Park, Park City UT lies one of the most efficient houses in the country. The Summit Haus – designed and built by Chris Price of PCD+B, is an exploration in design and construction of advanced high performance housing. Seeing a rising demand for sustainable housing along with rising Carbon emissions leading to global warming, this house strives to show that sensible, good design can create spaces adequate for today’s housing demands while adhering to strict standards. The house was designed to meet the very rigid Passiv House rating system – 90% more efficient than a typical home in the area.
The house itself was intended to nestle neatly into the 45 degree sloped site and to take full advantage of the limited solar access and views. The views range from short, highly wooded views to a long corridor out towards the Uinta Mountain range towards the east. The house was designed and built based off Passiv Haus standards, and the framing and ventilation became critical elements to maintain such minimal energy requirements.
Zola triple-pane, tilt-and-turn Thermo uPVC windows contribute substantially to the home’s energy efficiency, and takes advantage of the beautiful surrounding of the location, including forrest views from the deck off of the kitchen.
