BROOKVIEW RESIDENCE

Lionel Morrison, FAIA   |   MORRISON DILWORTH + WALLS

The Brookview Residence was completed in 2019 and occupies a wooded, 2.2 acre site in the Preston Hollow section of Dallas, Texas.


The program called for a house where the owners could live comfortably alone and entertain large and small groups with ease. They also wanted most of their day-to-day activities to be contained on the ground level.


The solution was this courtyard house where indoor and outdoor space can become one and thereby create a variety of living and entertaining options.


The design strives to be sustainable in its use of locally sourced materials, highly efficient doors and windows, 100% led lighting and a geothermal hvac system. All these factors serve to reduce the house’s energy footprint.
