D Sale Of The Week: Bentley Tibbs Texas Modern
This is what we all need post tax day: timeless, clean, uncluttered design as if all those files, papers and receipts have been swept away. 8707 Canyon is proof that home builders can erect more than a faux French chateaux and turrets that gobble up the lot. This home, designed by Dallas architect Bentley Tibbs, is a “Texas modern” new construction under 5000 square feet (4971) with four bedrooms, four and a half baths, formals and covered patio. Guests are greeted by a four foot waterfall directly across from the zinc-clad front door (zinc must be the material du jour: note that 6645 Northaven, Lionel Morrison’s Ricks Circle chef d’oeuvre, also has a huge zinc front door. Bullet proof?) Also soaring glass 12-foot window walls, transom windows, and artful use of warm, natural materials including oak, stone, and more zinc on the fireplace. The home sits on a sloping half acre in coveted Bluffview, where topography and trees rule. Neighborhood tidbit: Bluffview neighbors are said to be very picky about anyone who comes in and chops down trees — like you might lose a limb — so if you move here, don’t pack your tree saw. (Right on, neighbors!)

What’s wrong with Turrets? Are the like Mullets?
Yes.
I love this house. Been through it 2 times… only issue: midway.
Thanks Candy!
This house is over the top. Must see to appritiate.
I went through the house before the flooring, fixtures and landscaping was installed and thought it was very cool. I went back after seeing this article and it is absolutely phenomenal!!! I wish I could afford a $2MM home because this one is worth more than the price.
