Thoughtful modernism – how one Dallas home makes bold contemporary design feel warm, welcoming, and comfortable.

Written by Karen Darlow  

This is a modern home with a difference. Striking, characterful, and full of contrasting colors and textures, this newly constructed home in Highland Park, Dallas, TX, stands out among its traditional neighbors.

The modernist family home was built in 2024, for a young couple who wanted their home to be distinctive, personal and fresh. They were looking for bold design choices, and interior designer Joshua Rice certainly delivered with his curated, highly detailed, and thoughtful modernist interiors.

Joshua's ideas for the living room brought together a dynamic mix of eras and origins, combining sleek modern pieces with the organic warmth of wood, stone, leather, textiles, and patinated metals.

'This curated approach balances sophistication and comfort, creating a timeless, collected feel,' says the designer.

This seating cluster in the sunken living room includes a pair of 1958 Jumbo Chairs by Olof Ottelin, ideal for intimate conversations, and framed by a paneled wood cabinet dividing the living room from the dining area. At the heart of the living space is a custom 'BLR' walnut daybed with maple joinery and an oxblood leather cushion designed by Joshua Rice.
