Townhomes have become one of Dallas’s default housing types, efficient to build, economical with land, and increasingly common across the city.  This project starts there, not by trying to reinvent the type, but by asking how three attached homes can respond more directly to living in Dallas.  The buildings are oriented to manage exposure and privacy between neighbors, with each home opening onto its own garden and a series of shaded outdoor spaces.  Deep overhangs, recessed glazing, and carefully placed openings limit direct solar gain while still bringing daylight deep into the interiors.  A hybrid structure pairs heavy timber with light gauge framing, using each where it makes the most sense and allowing portions of the structure to become part of the architecture.  Materials are limited and durable, chosen as much for how they weather as how they look on day one.  The result is still a familiar Dallas townhome, just one shaped more deliberately by climate, construction, landscape, and the way people actually live here.
