Urban Reserve Pictures, finally

Sorry for the delay, this week was a doozy. But I got the pics off my camera and cropped and selected which ones I think really worked. A caveat, however, I am not a photographer although in my head, I wish I was. I see pictures that do that cool focus on certain item, while the background is fuzzy or reversed. I have always drifted toward writing because I see things in my head (not psychiatric wise) but images, ideas, and concepts that I can’t reproduce except through words. If I could draw, create or photograph, you would see what I see. Until that point, we have photos and my explanations in my head.

These were taken at Urban Reserve community last week. Diane Cheatham, the CEO/Owner of Urban Edge Developers which developed Urban Reserve, graciously allowed me to walk around and take pictures of her house. I got one of a line of other modern homes in the community (which turned out a little blurry). I’ll explain what I was going for with each one. Also Diane Cheatham was featured in a recent news article in the Dallas Morning News about Urban Reserve. Great read and they took professional photos of the whole community.

The Chris-Craft House

This is the house that the Cheatham’s are living in while their new home is being built down the street in the Urban Reserve community. It is available for sale and gorgeous.

The Chris-Craft House side view

This a view that takes in the side view of the house.

The house is longer than it is wide. This is the side view with a bit of sculpture in the shot. There is a winding staircase up to the en suite part of the house.

This view lets you see some of the architectural / design detail of the front of the house.

That’s it for now. I have more to write about. I have some articles about Modern Homes in Dallas I have come across that I’ll be linking too. Also I have some interior shots of the our visit. Those of course, include the design and architectural ramifications of exterior choices of the house and since it’s interior design, rely on each individual’s design preference. Since I enjoy seeing pictures of modern furnishings, I’ll probably start putting those up from places I find them and posting them here. Some are from local stores. Some from other places that are all over the place. I’ll note those local and those not.

In the meantime, I encourage you to visit Urban Reserve and see for yourself.
