Behind the Scenes at the River Lane Architecture Project

We love to share our design projects with you, and often you just see the finished product. This time we want to let you peek behind the curtain of one of our recent projects, the River Lane architecture project.

The homeowner, Ron, has been a dear friend for many years, so this project holds a special significance to us. Of course, you know that we lean heavily into indoor/outdoor design, and our architectural and interior design had amazing outdoor space to work with, designed by Scott Zucker of Zucker Design Associates. We all recently got together to discuss the project.

Outdoor Landscape Design

Actually, the beautiful landscape Scott had already installed was really the impetus for the entire design. We ended up opening up the whole house and added a brand-new sliding door system onto an existing loggia that the client used a lot. I know because I’d had many a beautiful dinner or lunch out there. And part of what we did was try to unite the two rooms more than they were before.

We asked Scott about his inspiration for the design and he said, “We wanted to do something that was more tropical in nature from what was here. Knowing Ron as well as I did and do, I knew that he wanted to kind of stand out in his neighborhood. To be something that was a little bit different than what everybody else did. So I started thinking outside the box a little bit about what we could do for the front And it turned out better than I actually anticipated.”

Ron added, “We wanted to do something that would highlight the art and the art would become the centerpiece and build around it. I wanted a woodsy feeling. where I was out in the woods and I didn’t want a lawn.”

You can see looking out from the loggia that the yard is full of mature trees and shrubs, very private. The courtyard has various plant beds, surrounded by concrete walkways around a center filled with round stones. In the center is a spherical stone fountain. The whole effect is peaceful, cool and woodsy. You get the feeling, even from the kitchen looking out into the loggia and courtyard, that you could indeed be in the middle of a forest.

The front yard also has a lot of mature trees and grassy areas. It’s just a beautiful design.

Scott added, “I don’t often get a chance to come back to client’s house, especially 20 years after it was installed and see how it’s grown in and changed so. And then we’ve worked together on additions and changes through the years it’s been a work of love.”

Kitchen

As mentioned we have been friends with Ron for many years, so I had the pleasure of being at the house many times and had many wonderful meals cooked by Ron. He is an amazing chef and I must admit when he asked me what I would do to remodel his house I had no idea. Because what happens is, like most architects we end up putting blinders on. We just can’t sit and notice everything. Once I did have a chance to do a deep dive and really land on a solid direction, I knew we had to create a kitchen Ron could work in.

Some of the biggest changes we made was of course opening it up. The previous kitchen did have an opening but it was much smaller. The beautiful stone, which is called Picasso, which I loved considering Ron’s art collection, is the fact that it helped us create a center that relates all the way to the new sliding door, the loggia, and the fountain beyond. And that became the basis for the organizational principles. I was curious about the real life feel so I asked Ron what is it like to cook there?

“This kitchen?” he asked. “Unbelievable. Everything rotates around a professional kitchen. I can stand here in this extremely large sink, which is 36 inches across! Big sink. It’s very deep and we have two dishwashers but I can turn and grab utensils easily, there is instant hot water if I need it to mix anything with some hot water. The kitchen has a lot of counter space that is easy to clean and which was important. There’s counter space everywhere. There’s a big gas stove and the oven is by Wolf and is very rapid-works perfectly.”

This level of appliance, a professional Wolf range, was new to Ron. His kitchen previously had appliances from the 80s, complete with a twist timer! In addition to the range, Ron went all out and chose a built-in refrigerator and freezer system and built-in coffee maker. We also extended the cabinetry right into the now open dining room. The old dining room was my least favorite room of the old house because I love light and airy spaces, and this room was dark and small with only room for 4 people. Considering Ron’s cooking we needed to fix all that so was so glad to hear the kitchen was working out for him. He added, “It’s fun-like working in a professional kitchen like I used to 50 years ago.”

It is a neat experience working with friends. Even after knowing him for decades, I learned that Ron actually went to culinary school for a year to study French cooking!

Primary Bedroom

Art is a big part of Ron’s life and he has a big art collection. When we started the process, we learned that he actually had 48 pieces of art hanging throughout the house. We had to think that out a bit and I asked Ron and Jason to select pieces for the bedroom that were meaningful to both of them.

They chose one that was done by Ron’s mother. He said, “This painting was done by my mother in 1987. It’s cubism and it’s the style of Picasso which my mother painted in. She was a highly prolific artist that sold hundreds of paintings. The colors in this painting are fantastic and all the different sizes and shapes of heads, and the symbolism throughout the painting is just fantastic to me. I see a lot of my childhood in it”

For such an important painting we recomposed the entire wall, and we used a lot of colors from the painting in the rest of the room. However, we let the green color that was one of Ron’s favorite things about the painting, stand alone. We just let it BE on itself.

My interior designer Liceth handles a lot of the materials and material selections for us and she had a big part in this project.

Liceth told us, “I knew I needed something warm. I was going to look not just at the art but also at the frame because we wanted the bedding and everything to highlight the art. We didn’t want to pull too much attention from it. We wanted the art to just shine and that’s why we picked all the colors that we did.”

In fact, I thought she nailed it from a textural standpoint which I love. There’s not a lot of color going on in the room, and you can see the direct relationship of the colors and the painting. I think the way she brought these different textures into play is amazing.

You might think that the uniqueness and thought that went into the River Lane architecture project was because we were doing it for our friend. But we treat every project as an opportunity to create an exceptional space and experience that is unique to the client and the site. If you are looking to remodel or build and you want something exceptional and “you” contact us for a consultation-we would love to talk to you.

30-story apartment tower proposed at edge of The Crescent in Uptown Dallas

An iconic Uptown Dallas property may soon see a towering new addition.

Crescent Real Estate LLC has proposed building a 30-story apartment high-rise with roughly 215 units at the northern tip of The Crescent, according to public documents submitted to the Oak Lawn Committee for consideration during its April 2 meeting.

It appears the proposed Crescent Point Tower at Cedar Springs Road and Maple Avenue would take the place of a parking garage entrance, according to those documents.

It would be across the street from 23Springs, an ongoing office development that has attracted several big-name tenants.

Crescent Point Tower would be 415 feet tall. The developer is asking to surpass the currently allowed maximum of 285 feet.

In addition to housing, the building would also include some restaurant and retail space, plus two new outdoor dining areas and a new landscaped parkway on Maple Avenue.

The design team includes Pelli — likely referring to Pelli Clarke & Partners — and OJB, according to the documents.

This comes a day after multiple outlets reported Crescent Real Estate would add a second office building to its Crescent Fort Worth mixed-use development.

The Crescent

The Crescent opened in Uptown Dallas in 1986.

Jake Dean

The Crescent in Uptown spans more than 10 acres and encompasses 1.3 million square feet of hotel, retail, dining and office space. It's a hub for high-powered financial firms and high-end shops.

The development opened in 1986. Retail tenants include fashion boutique Stanley Korshak and The Capital Grille restaurant.

The tower would add to a continued construction bonanza in Uptown. Lincoln Property Co. earlier this week announced plans to develop a mixed-use project just north of The Crescent at 2500 Cedar Springs Road with about 400,000 to 500,000 square feet of office space, 250 luxury apartments, 200 hotel rooms or residences and 25,000 square feet of food and beverage space.

How to make Dallas architecture less boring

It’s time for Dallas to have an architecture school within city limits.

A few weeks ago, the Architectural League of New York announced the winners of its Emerging Voices award, the most prestigious prize in the Americas for young architects and a reliable predictor and career accelerant for the profession’s most intellectually ambitious practitioners.

No Dallas architect was on the list of winners, a fact that came as no surprise.

The last (and only) time an architect from Dallas won this prize was in 1994 — 30 years ago.

(The winner was Gary “Corky” Cunningham, and he has lived up to that billing.)

If your instinct is to shrug, to dismiss the result of an admittedly obscure professional award, let me suggest you reconsider.

The city’s inability to produce even an occasional winner of this competition is indicative of a broader civic failure to foster and support a creative architectural culture.

To look at the endless stretches of generic development — greige apartment block after greige apartment block — is to understand this reality.

Dallas is awash in corporate architecture firms, and many do exemplary work, but there are precious few independent practitioners pushing the city to think inventively about problems that extend far beyond aesthetics to issues of equity, resilience, walkability and overall quality of life.

There are various explanations for this state of affairs — a conservative culture that promotes conformity is a good place to start — but one significant factor is that within city limits, Dallas has no collegiate architecture school that would draw top-flight faculty. Consider that peer cities like Boston, Chicago, Houston, New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles all have multiple architecture schools generating creative design and discussion within their borders.

One possible solution would be for Southern Methodist University to establish an independent program, either on its campus or downtown.

This would make an excellent complement to the school’s Lyle School of Engineering.

Through its Hunt Institute, the school already holds the core of an excellent architecture library in the James Pratt Collection, the books, manuscripts, papers and other documents of the noted Dallas architect and planner.

A new program would be an expensive project, but SMU has a strong local alumni network, including many in the real estate business, who might support such a project (and want to put their name on it).

A simpler, although not simple, potential solution would be for UT Arlington to move its College of Architecture Planning and Public Affairs — the only architecture school in North Texas — to a location in Dallas proper.

This would pose its own challenges, not least the potential opposition of other schools in the University of Texas system — notably, UT Austin and UT Dallas — that might see such a move as a threat to their interests.

But that is a political problem that can be overcome, and there is precedent for having a university graduate program in a satellite campus in Dallas; the Texas A&M University School of Dentistry, for instance, is based here.

The architecture school itself has occasionally run studios and other classes in Dallas.

There are other obstacles, among them that the school has a staff and student population who have made Arlington home.

But the student population turns over on a regular basis, and much of the staff already lives in Dallas, as I did when I was a member of the school’s faculty for nine years.

The upside of such a shift would be considerable, both for UTA and its architecture school.

Moving from Arlington, a city with no public transportation, would be a significant advantage for students, especially if a Dallas location could be developed along with or adjacent to affordable housing.

Moving the architecture program would have the ancillary benefit of freeing up its centrally located building on the school’s Arlington campus, which has struggled mightily to keep up with demand for classroom, housing and administrative space as its student population has skyrocketed to over 40,000.

Conversely, Dallas has a significant glut of office space, even as massive new construction is coming to the downtown core.

Converting that space into a new home would be an excellent job for a school of architecture.

Alternatively, the program could move to a purpose-built structure as part of the coming reconstruction of the area including the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

More critically, the move would give the city an institution to attract and support a class of architects who practice beyond the bounds of corporate architecture; practitioners who rely on university appointments to subsidize more experimental, independent work.

The school could maintain a footprint in Arlington, devoting space there to issues essential to regional growth, in particular the study of suburban planning.

Whatever the solution, Dallas is long overdue for an injection of architectural talent and the culture that talent generates.

Where institutions and their employees are located matters.

The places in which those workers live shape their worldviews and behavior, and those individuals then shape the places they inhabit.

For Dallas to significantly shift the quality of its built environment — if it wants to be more livable, equitable and economically stable, not to mention less boring — it needs to have the institutions that shape its environment within city limits.

Kaizen pivots with part of high-rise plans on KERA site

Kaizen Development Partners LLC wants to build a 30-story hotel and condo tower just west of Uptown Dallas, instead of a previous proposal for a fully residential high-rise.

The proposed tower would house 90 condos and 200 hotel rooms on the southeast corner of about 2 acres the developer will buy from broadcaster KERA, according to public documents submitted to the Oak Lawn Committee.

The project is on the agenda for the committee's April 2 meeting, when it's also scheduled to consider consider plans for a 30-story apartment tower at The Crescent in Uptown.

The board reviews development plans in Oak Lawn and surrounding areas before they go to City Hall.

Kaizen announced the partnership with KERA last fall, when plans were unveiled for two towers on the site as well as a new home for the National Public Radio-affiliated broadcaster.

A 340-foot office tower is still in the cards. The new 30-story hotel and condo proposal replaces plans for a 27-story fully residential high-rise with 287 units on the same site.

Under the new proposal, the condos would occupy the upper 15 floors of the building and average 2,000 square feet in size — almost twice the footprint of the units in the previously proposed tower.

"We thought it would actually be accretive to both the neighborhood as well as to the project offerings, frankly, by having a hospitality offering with restaurants," Kaizen CEO Derrick Evers told Dallas Business Journal. "We thought it's a little more synergistic to the office tower as well as to the neighborhood."

Everything Kaizen plans to build is already allowed by right, according to Evers.

The company is going before the Oak Lawn Committee, and later the City Plan Commission and city council, because it needs a special-use permit for the condos.

Derrick Evers is CEO of Kaizen Development Partners.

"We're hopeful that [the permit process] is somewhat of a nonevent when you look at the fact that we'll be improving the neighborhood," Evers said.

"We do believe that we're starved of luxury product in the hospitality environment here in Uptown."

Evers said the company hopes to begin construction in the first quarter of 2025.

"We feel really good about where we're at from both the pre-leasing standpoint on the office tower, and then we feel really good about where we are in the ability to get it financed," Evers said.

Kaizen also developed the 25-story Link at Uptown office tower on Olive Street, which wrapped up construction in 2022 and has since brought on tenants such as law firm McGuireWoods and ad agency PMG.

"Uptown in particular still has tremendous demand. Everyone said that it would be insane to proceed during the midst of the black-swan event of Covid," Evers said about the construction of the Link. "In the grand scheme of things, relative to the demand, we don't believe there'll be enough supply in Uptown proper to satisfy that, which helps inform our investment thesis to proceed."

Uptown area mixed-use development looks to move forward with hotel element

The Chalk Hill development has also brought on HN Capital Partners as a new partner in the project.

Kaizen Development Partners has brought in HN Capital Partners on its portion of the Chalk Hill development that includes a new office building, along with a combination residential and hotel tower.

KERA has also partnered with Kaizen Development Partners to build a new headquarters within the broader Chalk Hill project.

Chalk Hill, a forthcoming mixed-use development set between North Harwood Street and Harry Hines Boulevard, is moving ahead with a new partner and a new element.

HN Capital Partners has joined Kaizen Development Partners on a project catalyzed by a new office building for KERA and the sale of some of the media organization’s acreage.

KERA partnered with Kaizen to build a new headquarters and studios on 1.42 acres and also sold the Dallas-based developer 2.4 adjacent acres.

Kaizen, which is behind projects such as The Link at Uptown and District 121, revealed plans to build office and residential towers on the newly acquired land in the Uptown area.

Dallas-based HN brings a history of hospitality know-how. So, it comes with little surprise that the new take on the 2.31 acres suggests a combination of residential and hotel tower, rather than solely a residential tower.

Founded in 2017 by Vipin Nambiar, HN’s local properties include the Virgin Hotels Dallas and W Dallas-Victory.

“Vipin has an extensive amount of experience in the hospitality space. When the opportunity arose to have hospitality as part of the Chalk Hill site, it was too good to pass up,” said Derrick Evers, CEO and managing partner of Kaizen.

The combination tower, located on the southern end of the project toward Wolf Street, consists of a 200-room hotel across the first nine floors and 90 dwellings on the top 15 floors. It is taller than the previous residential-only rendition

A hotel brand has yet to be selected.

Under current zoning, the partnership has the right to build the KERA office and additional office tower, set to rise 21 floors and span more than 400,000 square feet, at Chalk Hill.

While Kaizen and HN have the right to the hotel portion of the tower, the residential portion requires a special use permit.

Its closest neighboring structures include Hyatt House, Harwood District buildings like Bleu Ciel, Harwood No. 7 and CityMark, and Little Mexico.

The Chalk Hill site, with additional space slated for retail and garage and underground parking, borders the Katy Trail on its north end, its terrain sloping and meandering.

The development itself draws its name from the dirt under Dallas. Geologically speaking, Dallas County sits at the very edge of the Austin Chalk Formation.

Since the site is on a hill, the appellation flowed naturally, Evers said.

Architects BOKA Powell and SWA Group are working on the project.

‘It’s the centerpiece of Uptown’: The Crescent to add residential component

Crescent Real Estate LLC has plans to add a multifamily tower, dubbed Crescent Point Tower, and ground-floor restaurant to the edge of its iconic development in Uptown Dallas.

6 Challenges of Designing an A-Frame House

When you think of A-frame houses, you probably envision a rustic cabin in the woods or a cozy cottage on a lake. And while those are great examples of what an A-frame can be, other locations are excellent for the style. The main feature that defines an A-frame is the triangular shape and sloping roofline. Dean Larkin Design is currently working on a modern, beautiful A-frame project in Joshua Tree, so the firm is experienced with managing the unique challenges of an A-frame home. Below we explore some of the common challenges involved with designing an A-frame house and how to overcome them.

6 A-Frame House Design Challenges

A-frame houses are a great choice for those looking to make their living space unique and efficient. The design can make use of a property’s natural slope, which allows for building with a small footprint. This is especially helpful when you are building on a steep hill or in a remote location where space is at a premium.

While A-frame houses are relatively easy to build, they do come with some design challenges that you will need to consider before engaging an architect and starting construction. Here are some things to keep in mind when designing and building your A-frame house:

Creating a Spacious Feel

In an A-frame house, balancing the living space so that it feels spacious and modern while keeping with the spirit of an A-frame is one challenge. Part of this challenge is to create an open floor plan with a sloped roof. One way to do this is by using sliding doors and windows, which allow you to maximize the use of your space.

By removing walls, architects can create a sense of openness that makes the house feel larger than it really is. And by using glass, one gets a sense of openness and a feeling that you are part of your environment.

Balancing Privacy and Views

One of the benefits of an A-frame house is that you can have views from multiple sides of the structure. However, this also means that occupants will have less privacy than they would have in a traditional home. If you are planning on using this type of architecture for your home project, think about how much privacy you need from each room and choose windows accordingly. Your contemporary architect may also choose to add some interior walls to create more private areas within the home.

Maximizing Natural Light

Another challenge of building an A-frame house is ensuring that the interior enjoys good natural light throughout the day. One way to design an A-frame home to maximize natural light is to mix materials with different reflective properties: light woods, dark woods, white walls and glass. This will help bounce natural light around spaces. Well placed skylights and large windows also allow more natural light into a home.

Creating Adequate Storage Space

In most houses, especially small ones, storage is a concern. The more square footage you have, the more room there is for storage cabinets and closets. But in an A-frame home, space is at a premium and the unique shape of the roof means that less room is available for storage inside or out. With less room, architects have to be creative when it comes to storing belongings without sacrificing aesthetics.

Passive Solar Design in Architecture

“Location, location, location” – this is the common cry when people discuss the value of a property, whether it’s a business or residence. But location is also extremely important if you want to include “passive solar design” in an architectural project’s layout.

In this case “location” refers to the placement of a structure with regard to its “orientation” to the sun. This placement is crucial when it comes to maximizing energy from the sun for heating and cooling to reduce reliance on mechanical devices.

What is Orientation?

Orientation is how a building is designed in relation to the path of the sun and to local wind patterns. Based on this information, it informs how the living and sleeping areas are best organized to take advantage of the sun and wind, or to be protected from them.

Solar orientation is a big part of how “green” we are at Dean Larkin Design. We orient a home with several factors in mind. We want to make the home sustainable, utilizing orientation, glazing, window placement, and more to provide lots of sunlit spaces, while reducing the energy needed to heat and cool a home. In addition, for the comfort and enjoyment of those living in the home, we want to frame the best views available, and create a strong flow between the home’s indoor and outdoor spaces.

Factors to Consider in Site Orientation for Passive Solar Design

Local climate

Seasonal angles of the sun

Optimized building design

Ideally, a site should be oriented to maximize the site’s potential for passive heating and passive cooling. Although many homeowners simply plan to rely on electrical heating and cooling of homes, sustainable living is becoming more and more important. In California, we have strict regulations regarding sustainable practices.

In most climates, we can enable passive heating by locating living areas and windows on south-facing walls. This method allows low-angle winter sun to enter those rooms to provide warmth and light. We can incorporate appropriate glazing take advantage of landscape features to keep high-angle summer sun and heat out.

In all warm climates, having a site with good access to cooling breezes is ideal. We can utilize building and landscape design elements to funnel the breeze and provide shade. Breezes can be directed using barriers like hedges, brise soleils, adjacent buildings, plantings and windows.

Passive House Institute US (PHIUS)

The Passive House Institute defines a “passive” building as being designed and built-in accordance with five building-science principles. Some of the features needed to meet Passive House standards include proper solar orientation, proper insulation, high-performance windows and doors, airtightness, and balanced ventilation. Homes with these features use about 80% less energy for heating and cooling than conventional buildings.

California building energy efficiency standards recommendations for reducing energy needs and the carbon footprint include

Solar photovoltaic systems in new residential structures

Heat pump water heaters that shift energy use in peak/off peak periods

Improved insulation

Efficient filters

Other passive design strategies that have been employed by architects include

Emphasize Cross Ventilation

Keep Spaces Open

Control Heat

High-Performance Windows and Doors

Passive Solar Design at Dean Larkin Design

While observing relevant regulations and implementing sustainability features to meet them, we place a high value on the enjoyment of the property by those living in a home. Dean noted, “If you have a south facing lot and the rooms that you occupy are on the back facing north, what kind of relationship do you have with the sun at that point? If there are trees and such where the sun is bouncing off of them, that could work. But I have no problem turning a house in any direction to accomplish the views I want or the setting I want for my clients.”
