This incredible house was designed for an empty-nester couple as their forever home by Stocker Hoesterey Montenegro Architects in Dallas, Texas. The owners desired a home that would not feel overwhelming for just the two of them, yet be spacious enough to accommodate their children’s families when they visit.
It also needed to be appropriate in scale with the neighborhood, which is set within a conservation district. The 5,115-square-foot dwelling consists of simple, recognizable forms that harmonize with the existing neighborhood. Crisp details and warm materials satisfy the homeowner’s aspirations for a clean, contemporary interior and outdoor aesthetic.

The exterior facade features a combination of stucco, cut limestone from Mexico, and metal siding. The main living spaces and the owner’s bedroom suite are organized around a small pool and courtyard, framing an intimate, lush view from every room.
What We Love: This beautiful house was spaciously designed for an empty nester couple to host their children’s families to gather together in a stylish environment. Living spaces are designed for entertaining with an inviting open layout that flows from indoors to out. We are especially loving the concept of the mezzanine level and how it is sunken down to create a connection between the main living area and the entertainment area.

On the interior, the main living area is designed as an open concept containing several elements, which are organized as “furniture” pieces to define the specific uses. An example of this can be seen in the image above, where a walnut-clad box at the end of the great room encompasses the bar, coat closet, and powder room.
It also acts as a structural support for a steel cantilevered staircase that leads to a mezzanine level that houses a pool table. The box is sunk down low enough to encourage conversation between guests in the great room sitting area and the pool players.
