Modern Garden House Design Idea Dallas, Texas



 The modern garden house design idea located in Dallas – Texas designed by Cunningham Architects as an intense collaboration between architect, client, and landscape architect, an amazing amount of consideration was incorporated into each feature throughout the entire design and construction process.
A modern two story box with outdoor swimming pool design, the stunning home garden idea is clad on three sides with a rain screen system, utilizing Ipe hardwood that will weather over time to a silver-grey sheen. The house elevation and south facade is glazed in frameless, insulated glass units incorporating two eight foot wide sliding glass doors. This luxury green residence is a free-standing addition to an elegant modernist house on an adjoining lot. Several existing Red Oak and Elm trees were incorporated into the garden design, whereby both lots contributed to the formation of a larger garden en mass. A minimal plant palette makes mass plantings used for large textural impact and screening for privacy.

Garden Rooms

A mudroom with a sink and dishwasher.

Potting Room Deluxe

This workroom/potting room at the rear of the garage has a narrow sink with double faucets set into a poured concrete counter , which was stained green and given a rock-face edge. A small fridge doubles as a cooler for cut flowers. Painted tongue-and-groove paneling makes the space feel fresh and tidy but also resists mildew.

This laundry room/potting room has red walls and mosaic tiles.

At the Ready

In this combination laundry and potting room, a swiveling cabinet door is hung with hooks for organizing hand tools.

A potting room right off of a porch filled with plants.

A Simple Plan

A potting room can be as simple as a small shed or corner of the garage, as this one is, as long as there's a nearby water source. The most important feature is a counter at a comfortable height for performing the otherwise back-breaking task.

A mudroom with an antique sink and bench.

Floral Dream

This mudroom serves as a flower arranging workroom. The owner added decorative legs to the extra-large sink, which is often filled with freshly cut blooms for the yard.

.......And the Kitchen Sink
This antique sink may have originally come from a laboratory. So heavy it took four men to carry it, the owner has placed it on a solid slate counter with steel supports. This deep basin is large enough for flowers and dishes.

A room near the kitchen with cabinets and a deep sink.

Expand the Kitchen

Next to the kitchen is a "garden room" that extends the kitchen's functionality and serves myriad of purposes. The deep farmhouse sink makes this an ideal spot for pruning and arranging flowers.

A utility room with a sink and flowers.

The Beauty of Utility

There is no reason a utility room can't be as beautiful as any other room in the house. This pantry/mudroom, which connects the home's living room to both kitchen and screened porch, has the same floors, cabinetry, and windows are the kitchen.
