    Dream Home Building

    Tatum Brown redefines the Dallas custom homebuilding experience

    You may notice that homes in Dallas are selling quickly. Gone-as-soon-as-they-hit-the-market quickly. The city is such a coveted place to live that the inventory of gorgeous existing homes is becoming harder to come by every year, prompting many to opt for a custom build. And when they do, they turn to one of the most sought-after boutique luxury builders, Tatum Brown Custom Homes.

    In addition to Tatum Brown’s success stories (trust us, you’ll feel immediate jealousy), what makes this company stand out is how Tatum Brown redefines the term “custom build.” Here, every single variable within the home, as well as in the building process itself, is custom. Whether you already have an architect or interior designer, or need an introduction to one, Tatum Brown will customize the building process to best suit your needs, ensuring the home of your dreams.

    You drive the project
    Inside its showroom, the Tatum Brown team begins with a presentation to clients on what they can expect. At the top of the list is collaboration. Whether the client comes to the table with finished plans or needs an introduction to a highly recommended architect, the goal is to make sure everyone involved understands the vision, timeline and budget.

    If clients need help locating the perfect neighborhood or lot, Tatum Brown’s sales professionals can help. Communication is facilitated with the latest technology, ensuring “everyone is reading from the same playbook,” as owner Mark Danuser puts it.

    “Sometimes people are overwhelmed by the thought of building a brand-new custom home. They think it will be an unbelievably time-consuming project that will take over their lives when they’re already so busy,” Danuser explains. “But we are here to make the process streamlined and, ultimately, fun.

    “We take a more corporate approach and collaborate with our clients to make the right decisions to get to the ideal home. Our team and process is in place to make things go efficiently and on budget, so it’s an enjoyable experience for our clients.”

    Once you’ve settled on the home’s architectural style and size, there are plenty of other exciting steps as you build a custom home. Tatum Brown’s design team can help choose all the finish-out selections that will make your home truly yours. Any aspect of the process — from accounting to helping decide the shape of your swimming pool — can be handled by the team.

    “We’re very adaptable, whether it’s an estate project, second home or an extensive renovation. In the end, it’s about the quality of the homes we build. And ensuring our clients can get everything they need taken care of — from project management to interior design — in an efficient manner,” Danuser says.

    Online updates
    Tatum Brown keeps clients in the know by creating private, personalized project websites, and then posting regular updates and photos to document the home’s progress. The individualized website also serves as a photo journal and reference, and it can be accessed by smartphone.

    In one fell swoop, the client can see the architectural plans, colors, finishes and more. This can come in handy for making on-the-fly design decisions, such as shopping for tile or fixtures. Clients stay connected, and everyone can more seamlessly work at creating a one-of-a-kind home.

    It’s this detail and focus that has helped to earn Tatum Brown Custom Homes its stellar reputation.

    “We’ve thought everything through,” Danuser says. “You tell us what you want. Then let us get to work building a quality home that is perfect for you and your family.”

    Where to Shop

    Where to shop in Dallas right now: 10 new stores to visit in October

    The October edition of Where to Shop, CultureMap's monthly roundup of new stores and shopping options, provides a wide range of retail experiences: from the return of a nostalgic toy store to two home furnishing showrooms in Dallas' Design District. There's news of two vintage clothing stores and a new neighborhood in Dallas that's eligible for drone delivery.

    Here's where to shop in Dallas right now:

    Add Vintage
    Deep Ellum vintage clothing store from DJ Max Sanchez has re-opened in a larger space at 119 Murray St., with more room for its diverse collection of men & women's vintage apparel including T-shirts, sweaters, jackets, dresses, pants, and more. Like many vintage retailers, Add Vintage is a big believer in reducing waste and sustainable practices, and believes that every item has a story to tell, whether it's a one-of-a-kind piece or a timeless staple, with something for vintage enthusiasts and fashion lovers alike.

    Hideaway Vintage
    Vintage shop selling designer duds and collectible items has expanded into a new 4,880-square-foot flagship on the first floor of 250 N. Bishop Ave. Founded by brothers Emmanuel and Juan Villaseñor, Hideaway has become one of Dallas’ top destinations for luxury vintage fashion, streetwear, and accessories. The brothers opened Hideaway three years ago on the second floor of 250 N. Bishop Ave. with just over 2,100 square feet. This expansion more than doubles their footprint, with space for a bigger selection of men’s and women’s clothing, carrying designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Miu Miu, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chrome Hearts, Maison Margiela, Kapital, Undercover, Sacai, Chanel, and Dolce & Gabbana.

    KD Biel
    New home retail store in Dallas' Design District showcases exclusive, artisan-made furniture, tabletop pieces, apothecary goods, and original designs by founder Kurt Bielawski (Neiman Marcus, More Design + Build). Merchandised as a series of rooms — including a living room, dining room, kitchen, butler’s pantry, garden room, bedroom, and bathroom — it feels more like a designer’s home than a retail store. Nearly 60 percent of the vendors are exclusive to KD Biel in Dallas, include Arcolaio Italian textiles, Baina Portuguese bath linens, Bergs Potter Italian clay terra cotta, Charvet Editions French kitchen and table linens, British ceramicist John Julian kitchenware, Marius Fabre Frenchsoaps, Match Italian pewter, London-based Perfumer H, Sangre de Fruta Canadian organic botanical skincare, Shore Studio, a British maker of rugs and furniture, The Chocolate Detective, a British chocolatier, and Urban Electric American-made luxury lighting.

    Moncler
    Alpine outerwear brand founded in Grenoble, France, in 1952 has opened a location in NorthPark Center, on level one between Neiman Marcus and Dillard's. The chain sells winter jackets, quilted parkas, and windbreakers fabricated primarily from animal parts — goose down feathers, shearling from lamb, etc. — priced from $2,000 to $4,000. Their boutiques are located in posh areas like Beverly Hills, Aspen, and Vail. NorthPark is their second boutique in Dallas, following a location at Highland Park Village.

    Snaidero
    International name in luxury Italian kitchen and home design has opened in Dallas' Design District at 1617 Hi Line Dr. #460 — the brand’s largest U.S. showroom to date. The 6,500-square-foot space features five of Snaidero’s Sistema kitchen collections, including brands such as Elementi, Way, Link, Frame, and one of its newest products, Quadra. The space not only showcases cabinetry but offers an opportunity to experience the artistry, craftsmanship, and elegance that have defined Snaidero since its founding in 1946 — a space where clients, architects, and designers can bring their vision to life.

    Stivali New York
    Shoe company has made its Dallas debut with a store off Henderson Avenue at 5045 Willis Ave., in the space previously occupied by furniture store Nick Brock — only the third storefront for the chain that was founded in Brooklyn in 2016. Stivali is a "slow-fashion" label — prioritizing timeless designs that last beyond a single season — with a lineup that includes their popular cowboy boots in a variety of designs priced from $275 to $350, plus tall boots, ankle boots, platforms, sandals, women's shoes, belts, and bags.

    Toys “R” Us Grapevine Mills
    Toy store chain has opened a storefront at Grapevine Mills mall, part of a comeback following a bankruptcy in 2018. The store features the latest must-have toys alongside timeless classics including Legos, Hot Wheels, Barbie dolls, Toys "R" Us mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe, games, crayons, stuffed animals, plushie toys, collectibles, books, arts & crafts, and more.

    Walmart at 9301 Forest Ln.
    Walmart and Zipline are partnering on launch drone delivery in the city of Dallas, bringing autonomous delivery to certain areas around DFW — which now includes the Walmart Supercenter at 9301 Forest Ln. This is the second Dallas site to receive the Zipline delivery service, following a first that debuted in South Dallas in September.

    Warby Parker
    Eyewear brand just opened its first location in Arlington at 4000 Arlington Highlands Blvd. #153. They're on an opening spree around DFW lately; this is the 10th location in DFW and the 23rd in Texas. The location will carry the brand’s full optical and sunglass assortment, third-party contact lenses, accessories, in-store eye exams. and will stock the new Fall 2025 collection.

    Allen Premium Outlets
    Outlet mall is celebrating its 25th anniversary with promotions and gifts-with-purchases at participating retailers throughout October such as a sneaker customization and a denim customization — with purchase, that is. The full schedule is here.
