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.
Modern Materialism
Creating Ambiance Through Materialism
Although 3525 Turtle Creek provides large-scale housing amenities with 102 units, Howard Meyer’s commitment to providing intimate and humanistic spaces persists. Lofty ceilinged lobby is given warmth and a charm that is uniquely Meyer’s in signature. The use of veritable illumination with the brise soleil covered windows and teak wood clad wall allows for a more relatable scale similar to Meyer’s residential projects. The patterning formulated by the brise soleil seems to be an effort by Meyer to once again tie nature into his aesthetic as the shade and lighting patterning mimic that of the dappling effect of the sun hitting the surrounding mature oaks.
The open concept layout would become a prominent theme throughout Meyer’s design of the residential units as it allowed for a new style of entertaining to emerge as there was more fluidity between spaces.
