Green Labron House Redefines Envirochic

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

profile of Dallas Architect Domiteaux Architects

In an era of mass marketing and production, home construction can become
cookie-cutter. But for architect Mark Domiteaux, every house is a chance to
reinvent and hone his design.

“We never have any standard details every house is a prototype,” he said.
“We always have really tight budgets and that compels us to be eclectic
with our style.” He and partner Laura Baggett
are Domiteaux Architects, a decade-old Dallas practice
that covers the bases from historic to midcentury modern
to old ranch house remodels. The goal is to be seamless and
freshen and modernize things. “We’re contemporary, but
we’re not stripped down,austere  modern,” Domiteaux said.
“We tend to be much more inclusive of our material
choices and more experimental at times of
how things go together.”
