Dallas
THIS WARM, CONTEMPORARY HOME WAS A PROJECT FROM THE GROUND UP WITH RYAN STREET & ASSOCIATES (RSA) FOR REPEAT CLIENTS IN THE LEAFY GREENWAY PARKS NEIGHBORHOOD OF DALLAS. HAVING WORKED WITH RSA ON A LARGE HOME IN AUSTIN, WE WERE ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO COLLABORATE IN ORDER TO CREATE A LOVELY HOME FOR OUR CLIENTS. THE HOMEOWNERS ARE A WONDERFUL YOUNG COUPLE WITH THREE CHILDREN WHO WANTED A VERY CLEAN, CONTEMPORARY HOME WHERE THEY COULD SHOWCASE THEIR IMPRESSIVE ART COLLECTION. THE MAN OF THE HOUSE SPENT MUCH OF HIS YOUNG CHILDHOOD IN NEW ORLEANS, SO THEIR AIR SHOWCASES MANY NEW ORLEANS ARTISTS SUCH AS JOSE MARIA CUNDIN AND IDA KOHLMEYER. WE COMMISSIONED ROB PLUHOWSKI, A WELL-KNOWN FURNITURE MAKER BASED IN NEW YORK TO FABRICATE THE INTEGRATED WALNUT BED FOR THE MASTER BEDROOM AND THE BLACKENED WALNUT SLAB COFFEE TABLE IN THE LIVING ROOM. WE WERE SO INSPIRED BY PIET BOON’S BEUTIFUL INTERIORS THAT WE PURCHASED HIS BARSTOOLS FOR THE KITCHEN, AS WELL AS THE FORMAL DINING TABLE. IN THE WALNUT BAR ON THE WEST END OF THE DINING ROOM, OUR CLIENTS FOUND AN AMAZING ‘VIDEO ART’ PIECE WHEN SHOPPING IN NEW ORLEANS THAT IS SET IN A 70’S TRAILER - BUT THE WOOD OF THE TRAILER BLENDS PERFECTLY WITH THE WALNUT PANELED BAR! THE JOHN RIEPENHOFF ‘LEGS’ SERVE AS AN EASEL IN THE FOYER AND ARE THERE TO SET THE TONE FOR WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE INSIDE - A MODERN, YET RELAXED AND SENSIBLE HOME FOA FAMILY THAT LOVES TO HAVE FUN.
