Dallas architect Cliff Welch has taken his inspiration for the project from modern architecture of the last century and has designed four homes that buck the current trend to build look-alike McMansions and will offer buyers smaller, moderately priced contemporary homes that are energy efficient, purposefully and artfully built and easy to maintain.
Welch worked with the late Dallas modernist Bud Oglesby, and he has been a leader in the effort to save and restore 20th century architecture in the area. He was featured in Texas Architect as one of five leading young design professionals and was chosen by the Dallas AIA as Young Architect of the Year.
His designs for the Ten201 homes include clarity of form, the use of high-quality regional materials, an appreciation of natural light and the aim to create architecture today that is worthy of restoration by future generations.

Here is a floor plan for 10201A. I was unable to get the other floor plans to open. I'm sure future visits to the site will find that problem solved. I will revisit this project as more information is made available.

Here are photos of the immediate vicinity. The homes will be built approximately one mile from White Rock Lake in an area that hosts an all-modern and mid-century home tour every spring.

Hi back again! I like these houses a lot! Great floor plan and beautiful homes. I loved the shared greenbelt idea as I truly hate yard upkeep. Thus explains my slow destruction of "the yard" and its replacement with patio, rocks, pavers, etc anything I can find.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the website to be functioning properly so I can see the other three floor plans. I think the idea of sharing the greenspace is great too. I wonder how wooded it is and how much privacy the homes will have.
DeleteOh YES, I want one! .... about time someone did this instead building those ridiculous McMansions on every corner.
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired of big, tacky houses. You'd think, with all the jokes about them, that people would be a little embarrassed to buy them, but I really believe they still think someone out there is impressed.
DeleteCould you pleas send them to Indiana? I love these!
ReplyDeleteI've been saying for years that someone could be very successful designing "new" mid-century homes in locations where there are few originals but a lot of interest. I guess Welch feels the same way.
DeleteAwesome. If I were to build a house, I'd use that plan.
ReplyDeleteI really like the plan too. Turning the study into another bedroom, it could even be made to work for a small family.
DeleteNice, looks like the garage has options for the overhead door location. Hope this is in a good location.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's in a very desirable location. I updated the post to include photos of the area.
DeleteLove #C. By the way - if you click on the "Site Plan" on any of the homes, you can see ALL the floor plans ...as well as their arrangement to each other and the street, alley, sidewalks ...in short the "site".
ReplyDeleteWhen I was at the website, I could only get links to open on A, and the floor plans on the Site Plan were just too small and light for me to deal with. I'll keep rechecking the site to see when they get all the other links functioning.
