Tucked within the trees in an east Dallas neighborhood is this modern cabin. We re-clad the home in black-stained wood and corrugated steel that will weather naturally with time. We added another bathroom downstairs and renovated the kitchen. A second floor addition has the primary bedroom, bathroom, and access to a roof deck. A rolling steel gate keeps the car port under the primary addition private from street traffic.

The project began with the owner’s vision to create on their Atherton property a new home, reminiscent of the Mediterranean villas and gardens they loved to visit on European holidays. They wanted to create an oasis, a home that would nurture their creativity and foster a feeling of calm. The design creates this sense of transition right as you enter the property, through a long, tree-lined driveway, thru a custom gate and into a gracious entry court. Walking through a formal entry garden, you arrive at a round entry tower, completing the transition from street to home. Separated into three primary zones, the main bedroom wing is a two-story volume anchoring one side of the center Living / Dining spaces, while the 2-story Library and Kitchen / Family Room anchor the other. All of the primary public spaces in the home are oriented toward the rear garden. The home features 5,500 square feet of living space, a 3-car garage, a separate guest suite and private master sauna pavilion. Solar power, battery back-up, integrated building controls and on-site water storage are a few of the technical systems installed.

As a first step in this project, we completely demolished the existing, very overgrown, and outdated landscape. The owner desired a custom-designed fire pit and patio, oriented toward their primary view corridor. The need to connect a secondary access off the back of their home to the primary access off their family room led us to create a sand-finish concrete walkway that connected the former to their new sand-finish concrete dining patio. In the process, we created a very nice planting area to soften up and beautify the back of the house. We utilized a segmental wall block system to create a seat wall around the patio, helping to create a sense of containment in the space and providing extra seating for larger gatherings. Concealed wall lights helped lend a feeling of welcome to the space’s after-dark use. A set of offset cedar screens offers a creative way to hide a utility area without a gate. We used a complementary-colored concrete mow curb as a bed divider and planted a Japanese Golden Rain Tree to provide future shade for our client. We filled out the rest of the landscaping with Arctic Fire Dogwood, Winter Gem Boxwood, Blue Avena Grass, Stella d’Oro Day Lily, and a specimen Burning Bush.

This primary bathroom addition onto a 1910 farmhouse rests on a beautiful property along the Mary’s River. The addition extends out into a sunny yard, and features two windows that allow maximum daylight into the compact space. The homeowners worked with the G. Christianson Cabinet Shop to design custom cabinetry for the vanities and wardrobes, including a tip-out laundry hamper, small medicine cabinets, and interior window shutters. A unique feature in this space are the back-to-back vanities that are separated by a wall. On the other half of the addition, a large custom tiled shower features locally made tiles by Pratt & Larson. The primary suite was also remodeled to incorporate new French doors and windows that lead onto a brick patio beneath the trees.

Set on a site defined by wetlands, steep slopes, and a canopy of mature trees, this home was designed as a response to both the challenges and the beauty of the land. Every design decision was guided by the unique topography, with the architecture embracing the hillside and integrating seamlessly into its natural contours. The garage is accessed at the street level, with a gradual ascent leading to the main living floor. This level was thoughtfully positioned to sit at grade with the side of the property, opening directly to the landscape and creating effortless indoor-outdoor connections. The primary living spaces flow outward, anchored by expansive windows that frame woodland views and flood the interiors with natural light. This design not only maximizes the stunning surroundings but also grounds the home in a strong relationship to its environment. The upper level houses the private spaces of the home, including a serene primary suite, additional bedrooms, and a spacious recreation room designed for gathering. Large windows and open interiors allow for sweeping views of the wooded, private property, bringing the natural surroundings into the heart of daily living. The result is a home that balances elegance and comfort while celebrating the character of its site. + Architecture: H2D Architecture + Design + Interior Design: H2D Architecture + Design www.h2darchitects.com + Built by: Rainier Custom Homes + Photography: Anastasiya Homes

This front yard renovation focuses on enhancing curb appeal through high-end masonry and a professional low-voltage lighting scheme. The project features a custom-tiered flagstone walkway with integrated LED step lights for safe, stylish access to the primary entrance. To add texture and visual interest, we installed a winding natural stone path designed as a dry creek bed, utilizing smooth river rocks, large flagstone pavers, and natural moss boulder edging. The nighttime transformation is the highlight, featuring strategic uplighting on specimen trees and architectural path lights that create a warm, inviting glow across the new lawn and mulch beds.

Our primary role was to bridge the gap between Raymond Jungles’ design documents and the on-site construction team, ensuring that every detail of the original vision was accurately executed in the built environment. A significant aspect of our work involved collaborating closely with the construction team on the selection, sourcing, and precise placement of each specimen tree and palm, ensuring their delivery, orientation, and integration seamlessly complemented the overall design. From the early stages of site preparation to the final touches of hardscape detailing and understory planting, we remained deeply engaged, overseeing the process with precision and care. It was a privilege to work alongside such a talented team, contributing to a project where every element—from the foundational groundwork to the finest landscape details—was thoughtfully realized to create a truly exceptional space.

This primary bathroom blends modern luxury with serene, spa-like design. A floating natural-oak double vanity anchors the space with clean contemporary lines, paired with sculptural brass-framed mirrors and elegant vertical sconces that add warmth and sophistication. The marble-look countertops introduce soft, organic veining, balancing the minimalist aesthetic with natural texture. Patterned floor tile brings subtle character and movement underfoot, while large black-framed windows welcome calming views of the surrounding trees. An arched opening leads into the walk-in closet, continuing the home’s architectural theme. The freestanding tub, soft white walls, and abundant natural light create a refreshing and tranquil environment designed for relaxation and everyday luxury.

This project included the lighting of a wide rambling, single story ranch home on some acreage. The primary focus of the projects was the illumination of the homes architecture and some key illumination on the large trees around the home. Ground based up lighting was used to light the columns of the home, while small accent lights we added to the second floor gutter line to add a kiss of light to the gables and dormers.
