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.

Most of SMU’s opponents are schools which I neve Most of SMU’s opponents are schools which I never can remember, properly identify or that invoke the sense of a collegiate powerhouse. Ed Ruscha has a series of paintings at his MoMA Retrospective that looks like he had taken a campus tour of SMU opponents. If you scroll through, you will see the schools as I imagine them – Tech-Chem Tigers, Trade School Exterminators, Urban Tech Guardians and the Fargo Fat Boys.
 
I am pleased that SMU will begin playing collegiate powerhouses that will make it feel like a real football season – Stanford, Pitt, Florida State, Duke and other iconic universities. The exhibition also included magnificent paintings of Standard Oil gas stations reminiscent of Edward Hopper, other paintings that explore onomatopoeic words that add another layer with his expression of lettering and paintings using many unimaginable materials. But his greatest contribution for me was memorializing what I will always remember as the former opponents of SMU. *SMU Departs Conference

Swiss Avenue is the cradle of Dallas architecture Swiss Avenue is the cradle of Dallas architecture and architecturally significant homes. Hal Thomson is the godfather of Dallas architects. Henry B. Thomson (Hal Thomson), a society architect, after he took a grand tour of Europe, made his mark on Swiss Avenue. The Aldredge house and this Georgian style home at 5323 Swiss Avenue that I just sold, quickly comes to mind when one thinks of Hal Thomson. Just look at the detailing on the brackets under the soffits and on the fascia. The detail here is more elaborate and intricate than what is found on most fireplace mantels. 
 
Twenty-five years ago, I sold this home for the Fraser family that had owned it for 50 years. The property had been maintained but otherwise untouched, accentuating the genius of architect Hal Thomson. After that sale, the home was remodeled, but fell into a state of disrepair. The next owner rescued it, preparing it for my friends and fabulous clients, Elise and John Willding, to purchase and continue to restore and refine the home.
 
The homes on Swiss Avenue continue to be improved, and the importance of these homes become even more pronounced as homes by Hal Thomson, Fooshee and Cheek, Lang and Witchell, and others continue to be torn down in Highland Park. Congratulations to John and Elise for acquiring one of the best houses on Swiss Avenue and one of the most significant homes in Dallas.  Many thanks for their appreciation of historic and architecturally significant homes. Scroll through to see additional photographs of this home. *The Cradle of Dallas Architecture

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
