Tucked within a contemporary Uptown Dallas rental building, this residence needed to feel deeply personal from the moment you stepped inside.

The homeowners had slowly transitioned from a generous waterfront property to more compact urban living, and the challenge lay in creating a sense of home that honoured their history while embracing a fresh start.

The aim was to reimagine existing pieces to avoid unnecessary waste, all while crafting a space that felt uplifting, layered, and genuinely lived in.

Drawing on their collection of art, treasured finds from global travels, and well-loved books, the home evolved into an expressive, character rich retreat. Colour, texture, and meaningful objects brought warmth and spirit to every corner, allowing each room to feel intentional and joyfully distinct.

What began as a blank rental apartment became a place alive with curiosity, comfort, and charm, shaped by stories and pieces that reveal the personality of the people who live there.
