Charming Dallas Condo Affords Solo Living in Style

Written by Jennifer Chan

In Uptown Dallas, a modernist condo designed by the late Bud Oglesby, has been given a new lease of life courtesy of Joshua Rice Design.

The homeowner, a young professional in her mid-20s, grew up in a family immersed in the Dallas art and design community. Her upbringing instilled an appreciation for architecture and creativity, which played a key role in shaping the design process. Now working full-time as an advocate for improved childhood education, she splits her time between Dallas and New York City. Her exposure to first-class design gave her the confidence to trust Rice’s vision and embrace a nuanced approach to the project.  

The condo, designed by Oglesby in the 1980s, is located in a private but vibrant neighbourhood celebrated for its walkable streets and nearby trails. Oglesby’s hallmark style — precision, proportion, and material restraint — gave the home its modernist character, and Rice’s design honours that legacy. “Oglesby’s work deserves a thoughtful hand,” Rice explains. “Every decision was weighed in terms of what to preserve, what to reveal, and what to reinterpret.”  

For Rice, this project carried personal significance. Years earlier, as a young intern, he worked on a design project for the homeowner’s parents, who were respected collectors and patrons of architecture and design in Dallas. Their kindness left a lasting impression on him.

“At the time, I was just starting out, without a name or title, but I still remember how kind and considerate they were during that project,” Rice recalls. The homeowner’s father, who has since passed, made an especially meaningful impact.
