Award-Winning Mid-Century Modern Revival by Dorian Bahr: 2018 Richardson Community Revitalization & 2019 CotY Award Recipient
Timeless Design and Contemporary Appeal in Richardson, Texas
In a notable feat of architectural restoration, DorianBahr takes the helm of an exemplary Mid-Century Modern exterior renovation, seamlessly blending timeless design elements with the demands of contemporary functionality. This undertaking demonstrates DorianBahr's proficiency in rejuvenating the distinct charm of Mid-Century Modern aesthetics to suit the modern lifestyle, set against the backdrop of the vibrant community of Richardson, Texas.
Rediscovering Mid-Century Modern Elegance
With a concentrated effort on unveiling the property's inherent beauty, DorianBahr’s design philosophy was deeply rooted in the characteristic features of Mid-Century architecture. The project meticulously preserved the iconic low-slung roofs and wide expanses of glass, integrating them with contemporary modifications that echo the original design ethos while aligning with modern preferences.
A Vision of Form Meets Function
The renovation frames a cohesive vision that blends the home's intrinsic Mid-Century characteristics with innovative, contemporary elements. The addition of clean, geometric lines and an expanded window layout enhances the property's engagement with its natural surroundings—a core principle of Mid-Century Modern design.
Dedication to Authentic Materials
Staying true to Mid-Century Modern’s commitment to authenticity, the selection of materials was paramount. The use of wood, stone, and glass not only pays homage to the era’s preference for organic textures but also ensures a fluid connection between the home’s interior and its external environment. The selection is complemented by a color scheme that draws from an authentic Mid-Century palette, enriching the property's aesthetic and sensory appeal.
Landscape and Lighting: The Final Touch
Recognizing the significant impact of landscaping and exterior lighting on architectural integrity, DorianBahr curated an exterior environment that accentuates the property’s elegance. The integration of native plants and streamlined hardscaping, alongside carefully positioned lighting, underscores the architectural features, ensuring the home's allure from dawn till dusk.

Exciting Update on the Mid-Century Modern Revival Project: ADEX Nomination in Spotlight
We are thrilled to share an exceptional update on the Mid-Century Modern Revival Project, an endeavor that marks a significant milestone in our portfolio. The project, meticulously executed by DorianBahr under the banner of Dorian Development, has been honored with a nomination for the prestigious ADEX Awards.
At the heart of the Mid-Century Modern Revival Project was a visionary quest to redefine a mid-century style facade, harmoniously aligning it with the architectural ethos of its neighborhood. Dorian Bahr's bespoke design approach saw the transformation of the exterior by removing both vertical and horizontal obstructions alongside outdated soft-scaping elements reminiscent of colonial-traditional style.
The metamorphosis entailed the installation of high polished yellow-pine v-board columns and cladding to the exterior gables, infusing a vibrant yet sophisticated character. The project embraced a meticulous attention to detail, introducing a high-polished, tongue and groove pine under-carriage for the front porch, coupled with a sleek new front door, mailbox, elegant lighting, and contemporary new hardware.
Further enhancements included the introduction of decorative concrete screen-blocks to the carport and a feature wall, alongside a decorative free-standing screening wall. The resculpted architectural landscaping, in-ground dusk-to-dawn lighting, decorative water-feature, gable vent, and painted architectural detail elements collectively elevate the aesthetic and functional appeal of the structure.
The ADEX nomination for the Mid-Century Modern Revival Project underscores our commitment to design excellence and innovation. It stands as a testament to our dedication to crafting spaces that not only resonate with the stylistic preferences of our clients but also contribute to the architectural tapestry of their communities.
