Highland Park House, Dallas USA. 2002 - 2004.
 
Highland Park House is a large palladian house constructed entirely from natural stone. The front and back elevations are composed around four columned Ionic porticos with modillions and finials. The side elevations both have Doric porticos which are used as exterior rooms and are part of an extensive garden sequence.

The interior is structured around a large central Corinthian hall which spans the whole depth of the building. From this the four principle rooms (living room, dining room, kitchen and library) are all accessed. The living room is decorated with the composite order and has a baroque fireplace and overmantle from Statuary marble. The dining room is designed as a complementary room to the living room, with its Doric order and fireplace in Moleanos marble designed in a Michelangelesque style.
