Turtle Creek Residence

Nestled tightly between the fairways of Dallas Country Club and the winding banks of Turtle Creek, this home takes advantage of unique views in every direction. The newly constructed bridge and flood control dam, a collaborative effort between the owner and the city of University Park, lends continuity to the estate and a private passage to the west bank of the creek. The structure employed a limited palette of materials for both the interior and exterior, with an emphasis on horizontal lines and transparency of space, enhancing the relationship between building and site, and how the Owners interact with both.
