Park Cities – Crescent

Clad in stucco with cast stone surrounds and metal-clad French doors, this Highland Park residence moves fluidly between traditional architecture and modern detail. A hand-painted cloud mural rises above the entry stair, where a wrought iron rail offers a classical counterpoint to contemporary lighting. The two primary bathrooms stand in deliberate contrast — one in blush marble with a checkerboard floor and pink soaking tub, the other wrapped floor-to-ceiling in dark veined marble with a bronze tub and picture window.

A tropical-muraled bar with a bamboo-front counter and a rustic reclaimed-wood kitchen provide an informal counterpoint to the home’s primary kitchen, finished in white oak cabinetry, a marble island, and sculptural brass pendants. At the heart of the home, an open-air courtyard anchored by a stone fireplace unites the wings of the residence, each space asserting its own material identity beneath a single, unifying roofline.
