3525 Turtle Creek Apartments
3525 Turtle Creek provided Meyer the opportunity to create a large-scale housing complex to relay the forward thinking nature that was emerging as Dallas was defining itself as a city of class and style.
Reflection Through a Water Feature
Cascading Forms in a Curvilinear Context
Similar to Howard Meyer’s Nakoma Residence, the architect’s implementation of a water feature provides the respective space with a moment of reflection and focus. 3525 Turtle Creek implements this cascading water sculpture through the arrangement of curved forms that give an organic quality to the manmade element. Although the curvature of the waterfall rimmed pool deck and receptive pool may seem strikingly against the rich vegetative background, the encompassing nature of the line seems to be decisive element of Meyer’s part to create connectivity between the exterior spaces.
