Builder: Stevens Associates Builders Interior Designer: Pleats Interior Design Photographer: Bill Hebert A home this stately could be found nestled comfortably in the English countryside. The “Simonton” boasts a stone façade, towering rooflines, and graceful arches. Sprawling across the property, the home features a separate wing for the main level master suite. The interior focal point is the dramatic dining room, which faces the front of the house and opens out onto the front porch. The study, large family room and back patio offer additional gathering places, along with the kitchen’s island and table seating. Three bedroom suites fill the upper level, each with a private bathroom. Two loft areas open to the floor below, giving the home a grand, spacious atmosphere.

The design of the living room required comfortable seating for 6 and is a transitional style. The foyer has a pair of squared off cherry arches with antique glass transoms. Originally the arches were smaller but were enlarged giving the entry more importance. The living room is adjacent to a family room that is separated by a pair of French doors. The walls are covered with a grass cloth wallpaper from Maya Romanoff and the floors have a red hue colored stain. Traditional custom upholstered furniture is cover with fabrics by Van Vechten and Pollack Associates. Two Holly Hunt red slipper chairs, covered with Pollack Associate silk fabric, add a splash of color to the otherwise neutral colors of the room. A glass and bronze Ciacometti inspired coffee table with bird details adds whimsy and enables you to clearly appreciate the elegant Egyptian hand made rug. The living room is for before and after dinner entertaining and a Holly Hunt cabinet is fitted for use as a bar. The room works well and is both visually appealing while meeting all practical needs.

Sunday, April 12, 3:00-5:00pm | Dallas The Dallas Urban Reserve by Kevin Sloan, ASLA, M.Arch of Kevin Sloan Studio, with Robert Meckfessel, FAIA, DSGN Associates Register: https://tclf.org/event/garden-dialogues-dallas-fort-worth-2015 Internationally recognized as an “innovative green project,” the award-winning Urban Reserve transformed a 10-acre site that had been an illegal landfill for more than 50 years into an exquisite Modernist community. In 2004, Urban Edge Developers in Dallas purchased the tract to construct a sustainable community, engaging landscape architect Kevin Sloan Studio and architects including Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. The refined aesthetics and careful grooming are equaled by environmentally sensitive details: the main street is a continuous biofilter; storm water is conveyed into rain gardens, separated by parking; cypress and reed plants filter water to sedimentation ponds for low-velocity drip irrigation. Concrete fragments and steel beams left over from its previous use as a landfill have been repurposed as “bricolage” for pavements and terraces. As part of the Dialogue, attendees will visit the landscapes of three private residences. Photos courtesy Kevin Sloan and Diane Cheatham
