Green and modern rarely have married so well as they do in the Shorecrest house of Robert Diago and Greg Hawthorne.This tony
neighborhood lies east of Love Field Airport and is full of charmers, but not so many contemporary and even fewer green homes.

So when the couple bought the 1950s ranch in 2003, their vision was broad: take it down to the studs to create something beautifully contemporary that minimizes the space used, maximizes the light, and accommodates their lifestyle. All this while meeting the highest environmental standards. >>read about Green Labron

Writing about interior design can be like singing about sculpture; it’s hard to capture
the essence. But looking at the designs of David Cadwallader makes you want to try.
Since 1983, Cadwallader has been turning his keen attention for interior designs for
residential and contract clients with his practice Cadwallader Design.

He pauses when asked the hallmarks of his style. “I think clarity and simplicity;
harmonious sensibility. I try to stay away from things that are trendy or would date,
so most of my interiors hold up for quite a while.” He offers the full range of design
services and is located in the Dallas Design District. He reflects on one of his favorite
projects to date, the renovation and redesign of the ED Stone house near
Park Lane and Meadowbrook Drive. more about Cadwallader Designs

Dallas Architecture Forum presents Executive Director of Philip Johnson’s Glass House, Christy MACLEAR for The Bob James Memorial Lecture on Thursday, Dec. 10 at 7 p.m.

Christy MacLear is the Executive Director of the Philip Johnson Glass House. She was brought to the National Trust for Historic Preservation to develop the strategy, assemble a team and prepare the site and Visitor Center to open to the public. With just nine months leadtime, she successfully launched the site in June 2007 with three sold out seasons. With the goal to “reshape the historic house museum model”, Christy has structured a “center for Modernism” to co-lead the National Trust’s investment in Modernist preservation, managed the NTHP board approval to purchase adjacent properties to preserve the Glass House view in perpetuity and developed the “conversations” series to continue the legacy of new ideas through diverse leaders on-site.

Christy is known for her ability to conceive of and lead largescale projects through opening and on-going operations.  She was the Manager of Strategy for the Walt Disney Company’s new town project called Celebration, was the Director of the Museum Campus in Chicago where she represented 3 museum boards through the re-location of Lake Shore Drive and the creation of a lakefront park, and was an independent consultant in Strategy & Visitor Experience to such clients as the Field Museum, the Cleveland Clinic and the leaders of the United Arab Emirates.  She has a degree in Urban Design from Stanford University and an MBA from Wharton where she received a Barnes fellowship.  She has been a professor in the graduate program of Arts Administration for the School of the Art Institute in Chicago and has served on the boards of Chicago’s Three Arts Club, the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum and Steppingstones Museum for Children. calendar details
