Property Description

This remarkable newly built home on the estate sized block of Melshire Estates of Preston Hollow offers a rare opportunity to own the epitome of an architecturally significant, high-quality custom build without the brain damage, time & incremental cost to one new owner. Drawing from the colonial homes of Sri Lanka, India, & Singapore —filtered through the lens of celebrated architects like Geoffrey Bawa and Ed Tuttle—this home balances global influence with modern amenities. Rather than presenting a single structure, the home forms a village of asymmetrical structures around a private courtyard, evoking the organic character of historic harbor towns where buildings evolved over time into intimate architectural compounds. AIA architects Tommy Upchurch, Todd Hamilton, and D'Jelma C. Perkinson, Scott Marek, with interiors by Shawna Kuykendall, worked together to create this stunning home. The approach begins with a collection of lighted Cypress trees, providing privacy and beauty, the first introduction to a thoughtfully executed landscape design by Christa McCall from Paper Kites. At heart of the home is a dramatic cathedral pavilion where the commercially equipped kitchen, informal dining & living area come together beneath vaulted trusses. Broad walls of glass open to patios & courtyards within a walled & fenced cocoon, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection with ultimate privacy. The owner’s suite offers a spa-like escape featuring Santos Rosewood cabinetry, backlit Opal stone vanity, a soaking tub overlooking a private courtyard, and separate walk-in closets. The second level includes three of four additional bedroom suites with terrazzo baths, a yoga & exercise room, & a spacious informal living or game room that opens to front & rear balconies overlooking the courtyard below. Inspired by centuries of global architecture yet designed for modern living, this extraordinary residence offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, history, & contemporary luxury.
