Live Oak Townhomes

Located on Live Oak Avenue in Dallas, Live Oak Townhomes is a high-density urban infill development comprising 28 units with private garage access. The site is organized into residential clusters and offers a mix of one-bedroom efficiencies and two-bedroom layouts across three levels.

Architecturally, the project expresses a Texas Modern aesthetic that blends minimalist design principles with durable regional materials. A masonry base anchors upper volumes clad in Shou Sugi Ban charred cedar, creating a distinctive charcoal-black façade that is both resilient and visually striking.

The buildings are composed as interlocking volumes with large-format, black-framed windows that maximize natural light and strengthen the connection to the surrounding tree canopy. Deep roof overhangs help control solar heat gain while allowing daylight to penetrate the interior spaces.

Inside, a restrained palette of polished concrete and warm wood accents reflects the project’s emphasis on material authenticity and contemporary urban living. Through the integration of traditional craftsmanship and modern site planning, Live Oak Townhomes demonstrates a thoughtful approach to sustainable, high-density residential design.
