9211 E Lake Highlands Drive

With views overlooking White Rock Lake Park, this architect-designed modern custom in The Peninsula presents a rare opportunity for private, design-driven living at 9211 E Lake Highlands Dr. Surrounded by nature and shaped by shifting light throughout the day, the home delivers a peaceful living experience deeply connected to its natural setting. Designed through a collaboration between a Seattle-based architect and local Dallas designers and builders, the residence reflects a design-forward approach rooted in site-specific architecture. Clean lines, curated materials, and thoughtful spatial planning shape everyday living, complemented by expansive glass and clerestory windows that fill the interiors with natural light. The home is carefully integrated into the natural hillside topography, with terraces and pathways reinforcing the connection between architecture and landscape. Living spaces unfold through intentionally defined zones anchored by a central courtyard and a private pool with a mosaic-tiled water element, creating a seamless connection between the home and its surroundings. Construction quality is a defining feature, highlighted by a Pier & Beam foundation drilled to some 20' to bedrock and engineered for long-term durability. A layered subfloor system, modern materials, and energy-conscious building practices further enhance performance and longevity. Lighting design enhances both form and function, with a professionally designed Lutron preset system that earned an IES Illumination Design Award of Merit. Custom Emtek hardware, Milgard metal windows, expansive sliding doors, and organic white quartz stone countertops contribute to the home's refined elegance. New Surestone composite decking enhances the courtyard and walkways with superior stability and traction, while Karndean Vulcano luxury vinyl tile adds a stone-inspired look with waterproof performance and comfort underfoot. A separate office structure offers flexible space for work or studio use.
