A voyeur's look inside the best modern homes in Dallas

Just in time for the giving season, Dallas Architecture Forum has released a new coffee table book called Dallas Modern [https: /www.dallasarchitectureforum.org/dallas_modern.html] $60, available online that features 20 of the city's premier modern homes. Each chapter of the monograph focuses on an architecturally significant house, with details about the history, design and layouts, as well as color photographs of the interiors and exteriors. Here's a preview of what's inside: --- Lipshy House At 63 years old, the Lipshy House's strict modernism has endured on a corner lot in the Greenway Parks neighborhood of Dallas. Designed by Howard Meyer, the Lipshy House has open and flowing floor plans and a geometrical composition that has caused art and architecture historian Rick Bettell to call it “the finest International Modernist house in Texas.”
