A Masterpiece of Modern Italian Architecture in Dallas by Classical Architect Lloyd Lumpkins: Unveiling the Modern Tuscan Residence

Dallas, Texas – Nestled in the prestigious Preston Hollow neighborhood of North Dallas, the newly completed Modern Tuscan Residence stands as a breathtaking fusion of timeless Italian elegance and contemporary luxury. Designed by renowned Dallas classical architect Lloyd Lumpkins of L. Lumpkins Architects, this 11,100-square-foot modern Italian estate draws direct inspiration from the iconic St. Regis Hotel in Rome, reimagining Old-World grandeur for 21st-century living.

Located on a secluded corner lot in one of Dallas’s most coveted enclaves, the Modern Tuscan Residence seamlessly blends classical architectural principles with sleek modern detailing. The result is a residence that feels both palatial and intimately livable – a rare achievement in today’s high-end custom home market.

“The goal was to create a home that transports you to Tuscany the moment you step through the gates, while still embracing the clean lines and open flow that modern families desire,” says Lloyd Lumpkins, principal of L. Lumpkins Architects. “Every arch, courtyard, and material selection pays homage to Italian classical architecture, yet the spaces feel fresh, light, and perfectly suited for Dallas living.”

Key highlights of the estate include:

- A dramatic negative-edge pool that appears to float into the lush landscaping, offering residents the unique experience of “sitting with their feet in the water” from the main living areas  

- Expansive glass walls that dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, flooding the home with natural light  

- Hand-selected Italian stone, custom millwork, and artisanal plaster finishes throughout  

- Multiple courtyards and loggias that echo the great villas of Tuscany and Rome  

The project represents a landmark collaboration between some of Dallas’s finest luxury home professionals:  

- Builder: Sharif Munir Custom Homes  

- Interior Design: Rania Nassar Interior Design  

- Photography: Full Package Media  

With its meticulous attention to proportion, symmetry, and classical detailing reinterpreted through a modern lens, the Modern Tuscan Residence solidifies Lloyd Lumpkins reputation as one of the leading classical architects practicing in Texas today.
