How Designer Emily Summers Just Redefined High-Rise Living With HALL Arts Residences

Share News:

The concept of pairing a top name interior designer with a beautiful piece of property was one of the biggest hallmarks of real estate marketing. Up goes the building, in comes the design team’s star talent to carve out a space unique and unlike any other in town, and pull in buyers by the droves.

This not-so-new concept just landed another super star player

Dallas-based interior designer Emily Summers of Emily Summers Design Associates — she’s a fixture on Architectural Digest’s AD100 list — has contributed her creative eye and sophisticated flair to the Dallas Arts District for many years, including consulting on the interiors of both the Wyly Theatre and the Winspear Opera House. Most recently, the celebrated designer has lent her talents to Dallas’ most exclusive luxury residential high-rise, HALL Arts Residences. 

“Over the years, I have seen the Dallas Arts District grow,” Summers says. “I know the great care and energy that has gone into each building. So, I was especially excited to work on the HALL Arts Residences development, to bring this same precision to the neighborhood’s newest residential offering. The mix of location, elegant building design and wonderful amenities is unmatched. I think it is the most exciting living experience in all of Dallas.”

HALL Arts Residences is the only residential tower offering a true blend of art and living throughout its collection of 48 homes, situated in the heart of the Arts District. In addition to the building’s curated art collection, the private living spaces provide expansive art walls for each homeowner to display their personal collections. The high-rise boasts luxuries spanning from a 17,000-square-foot amenity level overlooking the Winspear Opera House to premium finishes selected by Summers herself.  

Prior to its opening in fall 2020, HALL Arts Residences partnered with Summers to create ultrasophisticated interiors for the 28-story tower, which reflect the excellence of the surrounding venues designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architects. From the moment you walk into HALL Arts Residences, the stunning lobby sets the tone for an elevated living experience. Within the finished residences, dramatic 11-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the beautiful interiors, outfitted with luxurious materials of white oak, limestone, marble and quartz. The neutral finishes allow each homeowner to showcase their personal style and collected furnishings. “Each floor has been conceived with uncompromising quality,” Summers says, “infusing the most curated elements of art, design and luxury. The living spaces integrate beautiful plasterwork with neutral stones, wide-plank wood and luxury paint finishes — all which complement the vibrancy and color of the surrounding Arts District.” Summers is also currently working with several residents to fully design their dream homes. 

Yes, Summers has taken bespoke to the next level — and it’s all in the details. The tower has already sold out of eight floor plans, so time is of the essence in exploring what HALL Arts Residences has to offer. To view the exceptional property for yourself, contact Cindi Caudle and Kyle Richards with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty, which is exclusively representing the tower. In-person and virtual tour offerings are available upon request. 

This may be your last chance to snag a Dallas home personally influenced by an Architectural Digest designer: none other than Emily Summers. PS: Emily’s beautiful daughter, Caroline, knows a thing or two about real estate!
