BACHMAN CREEK
Dallas, TX
“Always simple, elegant, understated. Everything seems so worked out. Refined to the essence. The materials add to the definition of space. Nothing seems experimental… all the decisions come across as very deliberate and to the point…. Your work is inspiring.” - Joe Bass, AIA
The clients desired to build a home in which they would live out their days, set on a gently sloping site overlooking a tranquil creek lot, foretelling visions of fishing with grandchildren. Large expanses of glass offer views of the creek and the rear yard while catching filtered morning light from the east. Deep cantilever overhangs protect the interiors from the south and west. Warm materials of ribbed mahogany, corten steel, and honed-gray limestone welcome those that approach the home from the street.
