What Do You Think of This AIA Design-Award House? (Excuse Me, I’m Not Impressed…)
Share News:
I know this is a one of a kind Mid-century Modern masterpiece designed by architect John Barthel for his personal residence in 1959. And I know it is the winner of the 2002 AIA Design Award. And I know it’s probably one of our more shining examples of Mid-century Modern in Dallas, excluding the Frank Lloyd Wright house over on Rockbrook.
And I know it made the New York Times last month because it’s such an amazing deal at $425,000.
8931 Capri Court is listed by Virginia Cook’s Ed White Murchison, who is our very own MCM home specialist. He calls it a sculptural piece of art set on a lush green carpet. Four bedrooms, two baths, two stories, on almost half an acre. The interiors are great. But I just think it looks, I don’t know, like a spaceship or something.
Is the heat getting to me?

At least it makes for putting up X-mas lights easier without the need for a pesky ladder! Definitely an acquired taste, but I dig it. I think the main thing throwing me off is the style/coloration of brick chosen.

I personally like the house, the exterior in particular. I like the look of the cabinets themselves, but not the countertop or white appliances. Can you say stainless steel and granite?

Thanks Emily. Guess I have Pebble Beach on my mind…

Let's drink some "Dew" and do some wicked bike tricks. Maybe a triple 360 Henny Youngman.
I was just thinking I'd have to let the air out of my kids' bike tires.

This is easily the coolest MCM property in Dallas. awesome location too. Feels like an atomic California resort. A vacation at home (especially if they added a pool). I absolutely love this house.
