moderndallas.realestate feature :: 2719 Welborn St

Faisal Halum – Mathews Nichols Group // 2719 Welborn St // $625,000

A poetic connection between architecture and location amply describe the stunning residence located at 2719 Welborn. Developed with a strict application of sound design principals that include a central service core, efficient traffic flow and zoned living areas, the materials and tectonic nature of the architecture also evoke the qualities of the surrounding exterior setting.
Originally built in 1996, this cubic composition of lofty spaces by architect John Boyd, was tweaked by the builder and original owner. It wasn’t until a renovation during 2007 that the current owner reinterpreted and individualized the interior to create a particularly unique residence. With an infusion of everything from streamlined cabinetry to chic limestone floors the home became a neutral backdrop for the clients striking furniture and artwork, as well as a strong visual and physical connection between internal living spaces and private outdoor areas.

Charles Davis Smith, AIA
by Robert Diago

I was introduced to Charles Davis Smith, AIA while he was shooting several of the houses for the AIA Tour of Homes. I watched as he scouted a location, and was immediately impressed. He has amazing instinct. I jumped at moderndallas’ offer to interview him.

RMD: Chuck. I can call you Chuck…?
CDS: Most do.

RMD: What’s your earliest career-related memory?
CDS: I wanted to be an architect since I was 6 or 7. I loved to draw, like my mother. She taught me the basics; perspective, drawing, sketching… I never considered anything else. Photography didn’t enter the picture until I had to take a black and white photography class in Architecture School.
