Architecture is giving comfort, protection, shelter to families, to the babies their mothers, to the weak, the infirmed, the strong, every language, every culture, every walk of life. This is my grandson Will celebrating his first birthday on Memorial Day. When we honor the sacrifice of the fallen. Life is both beautiful and tragic.

From sketches to scale 3d prints we study and refine our design. It doesn’t hurt that Andres can speak Spanish to the craftsmen.the harder it is to draw the more difficult it is to make. The cut stone to a lot of drawings, 3d model and many meetings.

The final result stands as a striking centerpiece within the ranch’s architectural experience, simultaneously sculptural and functional. With its four-story verticality, the stair becomes a spatial landmark, culminating in a rooftop deck designed for open skies and uninterrupted views of the landscape and the owners’ prized horses.
Its materials, wrought iron, patinated bronze, hand-applied finishes—reflect both tradition and timelessness. The finials, now installed, narrate the project’s soul: one restrained and classical, the other boldly expressive.
This stair is more than a passage between floors, it’s a convergence of architecture, engineering, and artisanal devotion. A true testament to what’s possible when vision, collaboration, and craft meet at the highest level.

Dallas Women’s Garden, Walk thru Trellis room, a panorama of the yard to an intimate terrace leading to the Orangery “place to winter orange trees”. to yard. Historic houses have rooms not on the “real estate room list” like solarium, conservatory, sunroom, they were common before air conditioning in the 20’s and 30’s. The trellis here is not just a grid but a series of decorative elements.

Thirty five years ago when I was 35, Peggy and I with Cathy Kincaid restored her HalThomson house. Ten years ago we returned to build her Orangery. This is a one of a kind house and place nestled along Hackberry Creek. I was speaking to a section of the Women’s Garden Club. The trellis room is original to 1919 and is a unique interpretation of trellis. Since then I have restored and renewed 15 houses by HalThomson, Anton Korn and others of that era.

Make a dome inspired by a sea shell. Measure the size, C***i makes prototype mock ups. No not like that! Invert the shape to be concave. Sketch the inverse, create mockup. Cast mockup in final shape. Add the shapes together to create a section. Install and add ceiling ornament that happens to have exact number of divisions.

New beginnings in spring. Blossoms cheer us, reminding us of natures renewal. The Sutphins are standing with Charles Stick, the landscape architect who gave Effie and Tom McCullough garden shape and beauty. They are in the midst of bringing the most wonderful Hal Thomson house back to life. Since it was built several families raised their children here and celebrated life.

Lindsay Malloy and Meredith Ferrell listing one of the best historic properties. A Fooshee and Cheek. It has great proportions and floor plan on a spacious lot 4211 Armstrong. Could use a bit of freshening up. I worked on it in the late 90’s. It might be one of the more grand houses they designed.
