The #1 Realtor For Dallas Modern Homes

Dallas modern homes for sale are provided by national award-winning agent Douglas Newby specializing in architecturally significant homes. Douglas Newby knows the potential inventory of architecturally significant homes and the nuances of neighborhoods better than any real estate agent in Dallas. Understanding inventory is more than relying on MLS or “hip pockets.” It is approaching the market as if every home in Dallas is for sale. When a buyer looks for a home from that perspective, they are not constrained by a random slice of what is presently on the market or hoping something better will magically come on the market. A traditional approach leaves economics and aesthetics to chance. For decades Douglas Newby has identified architecturally significant homes and helped clients select neighborhoods in good locations that make them happy. The majority of Douglas Newby transactions are not through MLS. Values are determined by more important criteria than what has sold in the last six months. Homes are more important now than they have ever been.

High-Low style, fashion, and interior design can b High-Low style, fashion, and interior design can be quite pleasing.  I find the State Fair of Texas to be an example of High-Low culture being pleasing.  The State Fair is held at Fair Park, which is almost an art gallery of architecturally significant buildings spread through the park.  These buildings were designed by the best Dallas architects from the first half of the 20th century.  They included architect Mark Lemmon, architect John Danna, and architect George Dahl.  These architects also designed architecturally significant homes in Dallas that I have sold. The State Fair also provides what some might consider low culture, like country music, fair food, fireworks, amusement rides, midway games and the parade.  Since my fourth grade 40-page handwritten report on fairs, I have always been fascinated by fairs of all types.  The Texas State Fair has special appeal, I think, because it is not just in a convention hall or on sawdust covered grounds, but it is placed in a very elegant park of architecturally significant structures.  On opening day and evening, the fair goers and fair workers share high spirits.  The fairgrounds are fresh and clean, not too crowded, and there is a flow of contagious excitement and joy.  I have included a couple of parade pictures just to remind me of the carefree fun that emanates from the State Fair of Texas. *High-Low

John Sebastian is an architect who took his father John Sebastian is an architect who took his father’s, George Sebastian, construction firm to new heights. Award-winning architects carefully curate and often wait in line for the best builders that are capable of adhering to their innovative engineering and design of the architecturally significant residences they create. Dallas is fortunate to have many exemplary builders who keep becoming more capable with each challenging project.  The Sebastian Construction Group is responsible for building many of the elegant eclectic and modern homes by Dallas, national and international architects.  While many cities boast enormous homes of almost garish proportions, Dallas has internationally recognized homes that are dramatic and nuanced. The eclectic homes Sebastian builds recall artistry and scale sometimes we think has been left behind. The modern homes Sebastian builds provoke our imagination as forms are created that only contemporary materials, engineering and an extraordinary architect and builder can produce. Dallas is a great city of contributors which include John Sebastian and the Sebastian Construction Group.

On August 31 in 1813 during the Napoleonic wars, t On August 31 in 1813 during the Napoleonic wars, the city of San Sebastian was burned to the ground.  31 de Agosto is a San Sebastian celebration that includes military reenactments followed by the one street not burned down filled with candle-holding celebrants of the city being rebuilt. I love festivals and parades in any size village or city. When I was attending this August 31 celebration in San Sebastian (by scrolling you can see part of the activities), I walked by the San Telmo Museoa in the heart of Old Town and recalled that the renovation and addition of this Basque art history and cultural museum was designed by architecture firm Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos which emphasized its connection with society. This Madrid based architectural firm was also recently selected for the renovation and modern addition to the Dallas Museum of Art. Both the DMA and San Telmo Museoa are located in the most walkable vibrant part of both cities. The emphasis in both Dallas and San Sebastian is to better connect the museum with society. 
 
It is also interesting that Eduardo Chillida is a Basque artist that did the sculpture in front of the Morton Meyerson Symphony Center. I posted on Instagram August 28, 2019, about the sculpture and the correspondence between Margaret McDermott and Eduardo Chillida. Dallas public architecture and art continue to have a pronounced Spanish influence. *DMA Renovating Architect

The only movie I saw this summer was – Mission I The only movie I saw this summer was – Mission Impossible – at my Dallas neighborhood theater. It happened that I went on the week that a couple of popular movies opened. Upon leaving the theater, I saw a photo box and I couldn’t resist throwing my hat into the ring and adding additional summer tribute to this 2023 cultural phenomenon. *Summer Tribute

Architecture, the sea, history, culture and good f Architecture, the sea, history, culture and good food makes for my favorite holidays. The Pyrenees as a backdrop adds to the wonderful aesthetic. Just 20 or 30 minutes between the glitz of Biarritz and the city prominence of San Sebastian, this area could be considered a working fishing village, with the friendliness of Dallas neighborhoods that I enjoy. While I don’t spend time on boats, I love watching from my balcony fishing boats coming in and out of the sea. It is fun to know the chef/owner of Le Kaiku, a one-star Michelin restaurant that I go to every evening, is procuring some of the daily catch for every dinner. By scrolling you will see a couple of photographs of the 600-year-old stone building the restaurant occupies. It has been serving food here from the beginning, but the dinners have improved from the early prison food served during the building’s original use, not far from the seawall. From a similar aged original Basque home, I can see from my balcony the sea just 100 feet away, and survey the condition of the water before the sun comes up for my long morning swim in the Bay of Biscay. While I occasionally see Jean Paul Gaultier walking on the seawall and friends from France, the only other familiar faces are those that every year sweetly provide for all my needs at the bike shop, market, restaurant, wine shop and other shops.
 
Here is a civilized place without pretension where I can enjoy swimming, biking, reading on the beach, good food and visiting historical places and cultural sites without it feeling like a forced march. I always find it interesting how many different approaches people take when they are traveling. Basque Country, for me, has a nice cadence and rhythm. *Basque Country

Warehouse and factory conversions and adapted use Warehouse and factory conversions and adapted use have been popular the last 40 years for residences, galleries, shops and other uses, but often they lost their architectural edge and sense of intent. The Brant Foundation has taken the original Con-Edison substation building at 421 East 6th Street, originally providing power for much of New York, and converted it to an art exhibition space. I love that the building maintains its industrial edge, including the street front facade adjacent to graffiti adorned buildings. It also has interior windows framing downtown neighborhood-scapes. Each floor beautifully displays art from a different aesthetic platform.  One floor has soaring ceilings and original ironworks, another floor has massive beams that remind me of an oversized Frank Welch designed living room, another floor is clean, warm and polished with wood floors and ceilings and a delightful skylight. This exhibition – Thirty Are Better Than One – displays over 100 Andy Warhol artworks. On November 1st a show opens here – Basquiat X Warhol – that will display some of the 160 canvases Basquiat and Warhol collaborated on at Andy Warhol’s factory. While many factory and warehouse conversions are sanitized and reflect little of the building, this Con-Ed building conveys architectural energy and texture that is perfect to show Andy Warhol and Basquiat artwork. 
 
This space also made me think of photographer Chet Morrison and his wife Patty’s Cotton Gin building they used as a residence, studio and gallery in Deep Ellum.  In the mid-1980s, the Dallas Mayor presented them The Dallas Restoration House of the Year Award.  The selection committee chose it because of the impact on Deep Ellum and because it reflected the original architecture and was gracefully adapted for a space in which to live, work and display art.
