Modern Dallas Homes – Railway-Inspired Architecture

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and indeed this modern Dallas home designed by Cunningham Architects boasts big style, big space and big architectural ideas inspired by the neighboring railway. Measuring 4,300 sq. ft., this narrow lot house design occupies a wooded area flanked by a creek to one side and a railroad track to the other. The steel house has a corrugated facade, which lends a wonderful rustic house style that’s industrial, yet warm and welcoming. The long and lean floor plan allows for maximum views in each direction from every room in the home. The glass wall of the house gives the large but limited interior an unlimited, open feel, enhanced by the open concept house plan and two-storey living space. Leading to the upper level, a natural yet contemporary style staircase combines wood, glass and steel and becomes a notable architectural feature in this design, echoing the railway materials, which become an important influence the whole home’s aesthetic. Overlooking the spacious main living area, the narrow upper level includes the bedrooms, a gallery, office and family room. Cunningham Architects
