Richard House: Object & Architecture’s Modern Take on Traditional Craftsman Homes
In the historic neighborhood of Vickery Place, Dallas, Texas, stands a remarkable testament to the fusion of tradition and modernity: the Richard House. Designed by Object & Architecture, this newly constructed gem masterfully pays homage to the district’s vintage craftsman homes while satisfying contemporary tastes.
Exhibiting a quietly modern aesthetic, the design reinterprets classic elements like the wrap-around front porch and two-tiered gable roofline, fostering a sense of community while upholding the area’s architectural norms. High ceilings, abundant natural light, and open spaces characterize the interior, offering an inviting and airy ambiance, while privacy-focused features manifest in key areas, like the kitchen and hearth room. An elegant balance of old and new, the Richard House epitomizes the possibilities of innovative, respectful design in a historic setting.
