Texas Law Now<br />

Provides Choice,<br />

Diversity in Housing<br />

By Phil Crone, Executive Officer, <strong>Dallas</strong> Builders Association<br />

Area homebuyers grappling with affordability<br />

challenges and lack of diversity in housing<br />

choices now have significant relief thanks<br />

to the Texas legislature. HB 2439 passed by<br />

overwhelming majorities in the House (133 to<br />

9) and Senate (26 to 5) became effective on<br />

September 1, 2019.<br />

The law prevents local governments from<br />

enforcing regulations that artificially make<br />

housing less attainable for working families by<br />

forcing them to choose more expensive products<br />

in the design and construction of their homes.<br />

HB 2439 also helps local material suppliers<br />

and contractors who were previously limited or<br />

prohibited from doing business in some of the<br />

area’s fastest growing cities.<br />

In the hearings that preceded the bill’s passage,<br />

much of the opposing testimony came from<br />

suppliers and contractors who contended their<br />

business depended on local product mandates.<br />

Testimony in favor of the bill came from those<br />

whose business was correspondingly crippled by<br />

them.<br />

Housing advocates noted that these zoning<br />

restrictions disproportionately impact groups<br />

with lower median incomes struggling to<br />

afford the wealth-creating opportunities<br />

of homeownership. Additionally, consumer<br />

preferences for housing were, in many cases, out<br />

of step with officials who inaccurately stigmatize<br />

less expensive products.<br />

Sound policy must promote diversity, not<br />

exclusion. Intended or not, the result of these<br />

restrictions has as much to do with who can<br />

afford to live in the home as they do with what<br />

products go on the home. The ultimate form of<br />

local control is what you as a consumer get to<br />

choose. After all, it’s your home, it should be your<br />

decision so long as safety standards remain in<br />

line with code requirements.<br />

Specifically, HB 2439 prohibits a governmental<br />

entity from enforcing a regulation prohibiting,<br />

directly or indirectly, the use or installation of a<br />

product or standard permitted in the last three<br />

code cycles. The law applies to residential and<br />

commercial buildings, new construction and<br />

remodeling. This will encompass all existing or<br />

proposed restrictions in base zoning, planned<br />

development (PD) districts or any density<br />

and zoning incentives that favor the use of a<br />

particular product or construction method.<br />

The legislature carved out specific exceptions for<br />

homes located in historic districts and potentially<br />

conflicting standards for federal or state<br />

funding such as the Texas Windstorm Insurance<br />

Association. Also exempt are locally designated<br />

historic or conservation districts established prior<br />

to April 1, 2019.<br />

8 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM


Municipalities that are a certified local<br />

government under the National Historic<br />

Preservation Act or have an applicable<br />

landmark ordinance that meets Texas Historical<br />

Commission standards are not subject to the<br />

new law. Under the Texas Local Government<br />

Code, cities, such as <strong>Dallas</strong>, that meet these<br />

qualifications continue to have broad latitude<br />

to regulate the appearance of areas deemed<br />

to be historically, culturally or architecturally<br />

significant. Other exceptions, pertaining to<br />

outdoor lighting, were added to address concerns<br />

from military and scientific interests.<br />

Like many new laws, the exact parameters of HB<br />

2439 are not entirely clear and may not be until<br />

they are tested in the legal arena. Other than<br />

an aggrieved party filing suit, the law allows the<br />

attorney general to stop a violation or threatened<br />

violation and recover related attorney’s fees and<br />

court costs.<br />

The outright product mandates via zoning and<br />

PD are quite clearly not allowed. Less obvious<br />

is at what point a performance or installation<br />

standard becomes onerous enough that a<br />

product is essentially prohibited or limited<br />

and the law is invoked. For example, our area’s<br />

current energy code air leakage standard can be<br />

attained with foam or batt insulation. Making that<br />

more stringent would effectively mandate foam.<br />

The law also references aesthetic methods, so<br />

some think that may impact items such as garage<br />

locations and front facade projections. Code is<br />

largely silent on those, so they are likely outside<br />

the scope of HB 2439. Arm’s length development<br />

agreements and HOA restrictive covenants are<br />

also not covered. Quite a bit of these things will<br />

be negotiated contractually between parties.<br />

Many cities never enacted exclusionary<br />

restrictions on housing products yet still offer<br />

diverse neighborhoods and homes that are<br />

desirable and attainable. Now, these same<br />

choices are opening similar doors for thousands<br />

of families seeking access to great communities<br />

and schools.<br />

GOVERNMENT<br />

CONTRACTING<br />

Is it for you?<br />

Make sure to include the Government in your target audience<br />

The U.S. government is the largest single purchaser of goods and services in the world. Every year it<br />

awards more than $500 billion in contracts. Of those prime contracts, the federal government must set<br />

aside 23 percent for small businesses. This includes:<br />

• 5 percent for small disadvantaged businesses<br />

• 5 percent for women-owned small businesses<br />

• 3 percent for HUBZone-certified small businesses<br />

• 3 percent for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses<br />

The federal government sets aside contracts for small business, and these certification programs are<br />

designed to help you compete for and win federal contracts. Listed below are the programs and links<br />

to get further information.<br />

All Small Mentor-Protege Program<br />

Looking for an opportunity to partner with a more experienced firm for mentorship? You may find that<br />

effort rewarded in the All Small Mentor-Protege Program. At the same time you’re gaining invaluable<br />

direction and experience, you and your mentor can compete for government contracts, further growing<br />

your business. Visit https://www.sba.gov/federal-contracting/contracting-assistance-programs/allsmall-mentor-protege-program<br />

for additional information.<br />

8(a) Business Development Program<br />

If you’re an entrepreneur who is socially and economically disadvantaged, you can get business<br />

training and government contracting assistance through the 8(a) Business Development Program.<br />

The program includes free business development education, training workshops, and match-making<br />

opportunities with federal buyers. Firms owned by Alaska Native Corporations, Indian tribes, Native<br />

Hawaiian organizations, and Community Development Corporations are also eligible for 8(a) business<br />

development assistance. Visit www.sba.gov/8a for additional information.<br />

Besides Federal Contracts SBA, also, has surety bonds for small businesses. Surety bonds help<br />

small businesses win construction, supply and service contracts by providing the customer with a<br />

guarantee the work will be completed. Many contracts require surety bonds, which are offered by<br />

surety companies. The SBA guarantee provides an incentive for surety companies to work with small<br />

businesses that would normally not be able to obtain the bond. Eligible small businesses can receive<br />

the bonding assistance necessary to compete for contracting and subcontracting jobs using the Surety<br />

<strong>Dallas</strong><br />

Can’t Keep<br />

Succeeding<br />

By Phil Crone, Executive Officer,<br />

<strong>Dallas</strong> Builders Association<br />

in Spite<br />

of Itself<br />

<strong>Dallas</strong> and surrounding areas have obviously<br />

experienced remarkable growth over the last few<br />

years, especially with commercial construction<br />

and multifamily. Residential development<br />

struggles to keep pace with builders primarily<br />

focusing on infill lots and small scale shared<br />

access projects. <strong>Dallas</strong> permitted just over 2,000<br />

homes last year.<br />

<strong>Dallas</strong> is also not exempt from the impact of<br />

rising housing costs. It is well documented that<br />

the city needs 20,000 affordable housing units. In<br />

the single-family context, new affordable housing<br />

needs to be priced around $250,000 to $350,000.<br />

Getting there is especially difficult in <strong>Dallas</strong> with<br />

land prices and, in some cases, neighborhood<br />

opposition to new affordable homes.<br />

While some factors are out of our control, we<br />

need to take ownership of what we can. The<br />

stakes are too high not to. Homeownership<br />

remains the number one path to wealth creation<br />

for the American family, and the attainability<br />

of that dream here in DFW remains a primary<br />

impetus to job creation. However, for too many<br />

people homeownership is becoming less<br />

attainable, the drive to work is getting longer<br />

and the options for safe, quality homes at a<br />

reasonable price are getting fewer.<br />

16 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM<br />

A major barrier to affordable housing in <strong>Dallas</strong><br />

is the city itself. Development processes are not<br />

operating as efficiently and effectively as they<br />

should. Attempts to build attainable housing suffer


disproportionately from these unforced errors.<br />

This is not a new issue. Builders, developers and<br />

small business owners have bemoaned <strong>Dallas</strong>’s<br />

lack of transparency and predictability for years,<br />

yet <strong>Dallas</strong> has succeeded in spite of itself.<br />

Staff have to balance property owner desires with<br />

the public good while grappling with turnover and<br />

incomplete submittals from those not familiar<br />

with the city’s processes. They must do all of this<br />

without losing sight of their primary objective of<br />

protecting public safety.<br />

No place is this problem more evident than at<br />

the Oak Cliff Municipal Center, where a majority<br />

of these processes take place. There you will<br />

find a few familiar faces hanging around for<br />

hours each day. These people do not work for<br />

the city (some of them used to), but they have<br />

the expertise needed to navigate the tangled web<br />

that is the review and permitting process. “<strong>Dallas</strong><br />

is different,” they say. I say, it’s time to change<br />

“<strong>Dallas</strong> is different” into “<strong>Dallas</strong> is better.”<br />

That goal is infinitely more easily stated than<br />

achieved. First, we need the city council fully<br />

committed to improving performance and fully<br />

supportive of city staff’s efforts to increase<br />

predictability, transparency, efficiency and<br />

effectiveness. Past efforts failed to achieve this<br />

level of synergy and, accordingly, never made it<br />

beyond the planning/wishful thinking phase.<br />

Focus should then turn to the pre-development<br />

phase of the review process. This requires<br />

extensive interdepartmental communication and<br />

coordination particularly with engineering, fire,<br />

water and building inspections.<br />

The current landscape is littered with silos<br />

that need to be toppled by a combination<br />

of technology and a project management<br />

team empowered to provide comprehensive<br />

feedback on how to enhance pre-development<br />

functions. The group should espouse a culture<br />

of collaboration with the overall goal of ensuring<br />

that outcomes are reliable, efficient and wellcommunicated;<br />

responding appropriately when<br />

they are not.<br />

The scale of workforce required to run an<br />

organization the size of the City of <strong>Dallas</strong><br />

presents inherent communication and<br />

coordination challenges. As do nearly 1,000<br />

planned development districts, each with their<br />

own set of zoning regulations.<br />

All of these factors explain, but do not excuse the<br />

current situation. Residential developers in <strong>Dallas</strong><br />

go into a project with no idea how long approvals<br />

will take or how expensive unexpected surprises<br />

will be along the way. This is not the case in<br />

many surrounding cities. Even ones with tough<br />

regulations.<br />

Unlike many other cities, <strong>Dallas</strong> has a<br />

commitment to and policy for facilitating<br />

affordable and attainable homeownership.<br />

Successfully installing the comprehensive<br />

housing policy playbook first involves getting the<br />

fundamentals right. The proverbial “blocking and<br />

tackling” in the housing context are development<br />

processes that are predictable, transparent,<br />

efficient and effective.<br />

To this point, <strong>Dallas</strong> may have succeeded in spite<br />

of itself, but it has not succeeded in providing<br />

sufficient housing options for those who need<br />

it most. With leadership from council, staff<br />

expertise and industry input we can get to the<br />

point where we say “<strong>Dallas</strong> is better.” When we do,<br />

thousands of working families will finally be able<br />

to say “<strong>Dallas</strong> is home.”<br />

NAWIC: BUILDING<br />

COMMUNTIY<br />

The National Association of Women in <strong>Construction</strong><br />

(NAWIC) is an association of women founded<br />

upon the idea of creating a support network for<br />

tradeswomen – building a community with the core<br />

purpose of strengthening and amplifying the success<br />

of women in the construction industry. In order to<br />

serve this purpose, we do our best to keep our fingers<br />

on the pulse of the industry in order to address the<br />

“pain points” – the areas requiring new approaches to<br />

keep us relevant in an ever-changing world.<br />

One of the largest issues facing the construction<br />

industry today is the skills gap – we simply don’t<br />

have enough skilled workers entering the trades to<br />

fill the available positions and meet industry demand.<br />

A huge source of potential for filling that gap is the<br />

largely untapped resource of today’s youth. Why is<br />

that resource untapped? One of the key contributing<br />

factors is that trades simply aren’t being shared with<br />

youth as viable, profitable and respectable paths for<br />

their futures.<br />

“The desire to build is primal to what it means to<br />

be human. Something good happens to a person’s<br />

soul when they work with their hands in the raw<br />

elements of earth, wood and metal…But something<br />

has been lost (or at least retreated to the shadows),<br />

and the current culture does not esteem or<br />

reward tradecraft as much as it used to.” Hayes,<br />

Jeremiah. “Two Techniques to Connect the Next<br />

Generation to the Trades.” <strong>Construction</strong> Executive,<br />

18 September, 2019, https://constructionexec.<br />

com/article/two-techniques-to-connect-the-nextgeneration-to-the-trades<br />

So how can we help to restore what has been lost in<br />

our current culture when it comes to how the trades<br />

are seen, while still meeting our core purpose of<br />

enhancing the success of women in the construction<br />

industry? I think that most of us can agree that<br />

improving perception of what we do and bolstering<br />

success of our industry as a whole is vital to<br />

enhancing our own successes. A key way to achieve<br />

this goal is through mentorship. In supporting young<br />

people looking to enter the trades, we create a new<br />

generation of both young men in the industry who<br />

recognize our viability in the field and young women<br />

who see the potential for their own futures.<br />

This is an integral part of what NAWIC does. We<br />

show girls and young women that they have a place<br />

in the industry, that being a tradeswoman is an<br />

honorable and viable career option, and that there are<br />

women in the workforce who are willing to mentor<br />

them and help them get their boots under them in<br />

a world where the ground can often be rocky and<br />

uncertain to start. More than that, we offer a place for<br />

them to turn for continued networking throughout<br />

their careers.<br />

Another huge “pain” point in the industry is<br />

technology and the requisite continued education<br />

to stay on top of current trends and skills. Thus, in<br />

addition to mentorship and networking, NAWIC<br />

offers education, training, and certification. Our<br />

committees provide webinars to help members learn<br />

more about specific areas of interest, and our partner<br />

and sponsor companies also often offer webinars and<br />

in-person training opportunities to our members.<br />

We have also established the NAWIC Education<br />

Foundation (NEF), which provides – in addition to<br />

several exciting and innovative programs for children<br />

ages K-12 – adult education and certification<br />

programs that are recognized by the American<br />

Council for <strong>Construction</strong> Education (ACCE).<br />

By offering our members opportunities for<br />

professional development, education, networking,<br />

leadership training, public service and more, NAWIC<br />

not only creates a support network to enhance the<br />

success of our members, but also builds community<br />

and champions women to impact the direction of the<br />

construction industry as a whole.<br />

Networking and Association Use : keynote<br />

THURSDAY :: 1:15PM - 2:15PM<br />

Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Builders, and Remodelers<br />

Many contractors never join relevant associations that can produce revenue for them. Even worse they spend the dues money<br />

and don’t maximize the effectiveness of the association. We will layout how to determine what associations to join, how to work<br />

them and get business from your involvement. The single greatest way to find grouped customers and network contacts is right in<br />

your backyard association!<br />

Closing <strong>Construction</strong> Deals : keynote<br />

WEDNESDAY :: 1:15PM - 2:15PM<br />

Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Builders, and Remodelers<br />

<strong>Construction</strong> sales is an ever moving target. Techniques that worked years ago are less effective, yet some<br />

traditional sales methods still produce. Which do and which don’t? How do you know which? What new<br />

technologies and sales systems do you adopt? Does social media really produce opportunity in construction sales?<br />

Where do you put your sales time and attention? These are all great questions and will be answered.<br />

• What new technologies should I incorporate<br />

• What truly works in construction sales<br />

• How do I manage my sales effort<br />

• What is working currently in regards to construction selling<br />

Work them to the fullest and you’ll never make a cold call again!<br />

Common <strong>Construction</strong> Sales Mistakes<br />

THURSDAY :: 9:30AM - 11:00AM<br />

Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Builders, and Remodelers<br />

Many in the construction industry consistently make the same mistakes that kill their opportunity. There are many common errors<br />

and mentalities that hinder sales success. We’ll put a light on these problems and give the behaviors that counter them. Make<br />

sure your approach to the customer base is the most effective possible.<br />

These errors are often made without the contractor even realizing they’re making them. This cripples their chances of winning<br />

profitable projects.<br />

Impact of Social Media & Brand Identity<br />

WEDNESDAY :: 11:30AM - 12:30PM<br />

Target Audience: All Building and <strong>Construction</strong> Professionals<br />

Mastering Social Media is on the top of the agenda for almost all business executives. They are constantly working to identify ways in<br />

which their firms can make profitable use of the popular Social Media platforms: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.<br />

Consumers traditionally use Social Media and the Internet to simply expend content: they read it, watch it, and use it to make<br />

informative buying decisions. They are able to use these platforms for a variety of purposes because they have immediate access to this<br />

information in the palm of their very hands.<br />

This represents the social media phenomenon. This phenomenon is known to have significant impact a firm’s reputation, sales, and<br />

even survival. Yet, many executives neglect this form of media because they do not understand what it is, the various purposes it<br />

serves or how to engage with it. When used correctly, Social Media can monetize your sales and business growth. Platforms such as<br />

Instagram, Facebook and Twitter enable the creation of virtual customer environments (VCEs), online communities of interest formed<br />

around specific firms, brands, or products. In today’s market we see this as the instant gratification sale.<br />

Increasing your engagement and strengthening your brand identity is vital to the success of this process. I am here to provide you<br />

with the steps necessary to develop this type of presence. In this presentation I will coach you through the process of establishing<br />

your business’ brand identity across a variety of social media platforms and show you the impact it will have on your sales strategy and<br />

overall business goals.<br />

Fiberglass Fenestration in Commercial Buildings<br />

WEDNESDAY :: 9:30AM - 10:30AM<br />

Target Audience: Architects, Specifiers, or Long Term Building Owners/Developers.<br />

Whether designing sustainable commercial or institutional building types, architects carefully consider the<br />

qualities and long-term advantages of fenestration materials. Windows and doors provide essential protection and<br />

architectural character to a building, and must also respond to owner-driven requirements like aesthetics, cost,<br />

performance, maintenance, and life cycle.<br />

Fiberglass composite is suitable for windows and doors in any climate or building type. More durable than<br />

aluminum or vinyl, with the thermal efficiency of wood, fiberglass composite windows are an economically competitive<br />

alternative to aluminum and vinyl windows. The multiple advantages and benefits of fiberglass composite make it a versatile<br />

fenestration choice because of its strength, durability, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and sustainable qualities, as well as its<br />

resistance to corrosion, dents, and scratches.<br />

Learning Objectives:<br />

• List the evaluation design criteria used by architects and owners when researching, designing, and specifying windows and<br />

doors for sustainable buildings.<br />

• Describe how the strength, durability, energy efficient, and sustainable qualities of fiberglass composite make it a suitable<br />

material choice for windows and doors.<br />

• Compare the environmental attributes of fiberglass composite with aluminum and vinyl windows.<br />

• Design appropriate window installation details for new construction projects that meet human safety and welfare<br />

requirements while contributing to an energy efficient building envelope.<br />

<strong>Construction</strong> Project Acceleration Part 2:<br />

A numerical example for calculating the least-duration (crash duration) and least-cost duration<br />

THURSDAY :: 9:30AM - 10:30AM<br />

Target Audience: Builders and Contractors<br />

<strong>Construction</strong> project compression is an extremely important issue for contractors and owners, yet it is one of the most<br />

misunderstood concepts leading to tremendous waste of resources and money. It can even get worse when an acceleration<br />

effort backfires and causes a delay in addition to the extra cost. The relationship between project cost and duration is intimate<br />

and interesting. Some projects have a “must” completion date while other projects have the least cost as the #1 objective.<br />

Contractors need to understand this relationship: Sort out and calculate all options, and then allow the owner to make an<br />

educated decision. This seminar explains the cost-time relationship and the process of calculating the optimum durations; cost<br />

wise and time wise.<br />

Working in Outdoor<br />

and Indoor Heat<br />

Environments<br />

Millions of U.S. workers are exposed to heat<br />

in their workplaces. Although illness from<br />

exposure to heat is preventable, every year,<br />

thousands become sick from occupational<br />

heat exposure, and some cases are fatal.<br />

Most outdoor fatalities, 50% to 70%, occur<br />

in the first few days of working in warm or<br />

hot environments because the body needs<br />

to build a tolerance to the heat gradually<br />

over time. The process of building tolerance<br />

is called heat acclimatization. Lack of<br />

acclimatization represents a major risk<br />

factor for fatal outcomes.<br />

Occupational risk factors for heat illness<br />

include heavy physical activity, warm or<br />

hot environmental conditions, lack of<br />

acclimatization, and wearing clothing that<br />

holds in body heat.<br />

Hazardous heat exposure can occur indoors<br />

or outdoors, and can occur during any season<br />

if the conditions are right, not only during<br />

heat waves.<br />

In a warm environment, especially when<br />

physically active, the human body relies on<br />

its ability to get rid of excess heat (i.e., heat<br />

dissipation) to maintain a healthy internal<br />

body temperature. Heat dissipation happens<br />

naturally through sweating and increased<br />

blood flow to the skin. Workers cool down<br />

34 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM<br />

more rapidly if the external (environmental)<br />

heat and physical activity (metabolic heat) are<br />

reduced.<br />

If heat dissipation does not happen quickly<br />

enough, the internal body temperature<br />

keeps rising and the worker may experience<br />

symptoms that include thirst, irritability, a<br />

rash, cramping, heat exhaustion, or heat<br />

stroke.<br />

Heat stroke is the most severe heat-related<br />

illness. Workers suffering from heat stroke<br />

experience mental dysfunction such as<br />

unconsciousness, confusion, disorientation,<br />

or slurred speech. Cool these workers<br />

immediately and call 911!<br />

Heat-related illness is preventable, especially<br />

with management commitment to providing<br />

the most effective controls. An effective<br />

heat-related illness prevention program<br />

is incorporated in a broader safety and<br />

health program and aligns with OSHA’s<br />

Recommended Practices for Safety and<br />

Health Programs core elements.<br />

Workers who have not spent time recently<br />

in warm or hot environments and/or being<br />

physically active will need time to build<br />

tolerance (acclimatize or, less frequently<br />

used, acclimate) to the heat. During their

Working in Heat... continued<br />

first few days in warm or hot environments,<br />

employers should encourage workers to:<br />

• Consume adequate fluids (water and<br />

sport drinks)<br />

• Work shorter shifts,<br />

• Take frequent breaks, and<br />

• Quickly identify any heat illness<br />

symptoms.<br />

Engineering controls such as air conditioning,<br />

with cooled air, and increased air flow,<br />

leading to increased evaporative cooling,<br />

can make the workplace safer. Other<br />

options for keeping body temperatures<br />

down in warm environments include making<br />

changes to workload and schedules. For<br />

example, empower supervisors and workers<br />

to slow down physical activity like reducing<br />

manual handling speeds or scheduling<br />

work for the morning or shorter shifts with<br />

frequent rest breaks in the shade or at least<br />

away from heat sources. Supervisors can<br />

encourage workers in warm environments<br />

to drink hydrating fluids. At a minimum,<br />

all supervisors and workers should receive<br />

training about heat-related symptoms and<br />

first aid.<br />

Heat-related illnesses can have a substantial<br />

cost to workers and employers. Heat stress<br />

can cause fine motor performance (like rebar<br />

tying or keyboarding) to deteriorate even<br />

in acclimatized individuals. Heat illness can<br />

contribute to decreased performance, lost<br />

productivity due to illness and hospitalization,<br />

and possibly death. OSHA encourages water,<br />

rest, and shade as prevention as well as<br />

treatment for heat-related illness.<br />

OSHA CAN HELP. This year, OSHA and<br />

its State Plan partners have launched a<br />

nationwide campaign to raise employer and<br />

worker awareness of the dangers of heat and<br />

how to protect workers. Visit www.osha.gov<br />

for worker fact sheets, worksite posters, and<br />

other resources on preventing heat illness,<br />

in both English and Spanish. If you have<br />

questions, call OSHA. It’s confidential. Call<br />

1-800-321-OSHA (6742) or visit www.osha.<br />

CELEBRATE YOUR<br />

ARCHITECTURAL<br />

STYLE!<br />

Recently there has been debate over a proposal<br />

that would require new federal buildings to be<br />

designed and built only in a classical architectural<br />

style. In the place of diverse architectural styles<br />

used in federal buildings for decades, the order<br />

would mandate a single national style. Some<br />

people think this would ensure that all new<br />

federal buildings were harmonious to some of<br />

the older governmental buildings in Washington,<br />

D. C. such as the Supreme Court building and<br />

the traditionally designed West Building of<br />

the National Gallery of Art. Others prefer that<br />

architectural design be allowed to continue to<br />

progress to reflect current times, and reference<br />

the National Museum of African American<br />

History and Culture by David Adjaye, and the<br />

East Building of the National Gallery of Art,<br />

designed by I M Pei, who also designed the<br />

Meyerson Symphony Center and <strong>Dallas</strong> City Hall.<br />

Those in favor of more diverse and contemporary<br />

architectural styles would point out that our<br />

legislators no longer dress in knee britches and<br />

powdered wigs – just as styles of dress have<br />

evolved, so should styles of architecture.<br />

There are many architectural styles, and people<br />

may admire more than one of them. Some of<br />

the major types of residential architecture styles<br />

popular for today’s homes are:<br />

Cape Cod - A classic Cape Cod style home<br />

is a smaller home with a simple symmetric<br />

design. They are generally 1.5 stories with a<br />

moderately steep pitched roof with gables<br />

and a large chimney, generally in the center of<br />

the home. Stylistically, Cape Cod homes have<br />

simple exteriors and are commonly covered<br />

in cedar shingles or clapboard. They tend to<br />

have windows flanking a central front door and<br />

double-hung symmetric windows with shutters.<br />

The shape of this home typically means there is a<br />

formal, center-hall floor plan, with a master suite<br />

on the ground floor and additional bedrooms<br />

upstairs.<br />

Craftsman - Bungalow and Craftsman style<br />

homes emphasize natural materials — wood,<br />

stone, and brick. Wide front porches and lowpitched<br />

roofs are typical. The interior’s open floor<br />

plan features built-in furniture, big fireplaces,<br />

and exposed beams. Craftsman styles houses<br />

place an emphasis on natural materials and tend<br />

to be symmetrical structures. They often have<br />

low-pitched roofs with gables (often hipped),<br />

overhanging eaves, and wide front porches with<br />

tapered columns or pedestals that extend to the<br />

ground level.<br />

Modern Farm House uses common elements<br />

from traditional pastoral buildings—timber<br />

cladding, A-frame roofs, and lofted spaces—and<br />

puts a sleeker spin on them for a home that’s<br />

streamlined but still connected to its natural<br />

surroundings.<br />

Contemporary - architecture seeks to connect<br />

indoors and outdoors, with an emphasis on<br />

energy efficiency, sustainable materials, lack of<br />

unnecessary detail, lots of natural light and the<br />

use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete.<br />

Mid-Century Modern denotes a style of design<br />

that was popularized from the 1930s through the<br />

1960s and continues to inspire both renovations<br />

and new builds today. Characterized by a<br />

contemporary, seemingly futuristic aesthetic<br />

and an emphasis on function, the Mid-Century<br />

Modern movement influenced many types of<br />

design. The style extends to include interior,<br />

product, industrial, and graphic design, as<br />

epitomized in the TV show Mad Men.<br />

Ranch - The ranch home, sometimes called a<br />

rambler, is typically a single-story home with a<br />

long horizontal footprint. The ranch home was<br />

initially popularized in the 1950s, a postwar<br />

style that utilized the profusion of cheap land in<br />

newly developed suburbs. Ranches are usually<br />

one-story, with a long, low roofline and simple,<br />

open layouts. Ranches are typically rectangular,<br />

L-shaped, or U-shaped, and the long horizontal<br />

structure allows for easy connection to the<br />

outdoors.<br />

SPECIAL DALLAS SHOW EDITION <strong>2020</strong> 39


Spanish and Tuscan share many of the<br />

same characteristics, with features<br />

that include curves and arches, stucco<br />

exteriors and often interior walls,<br />

terracotta roof tiles, painted interior<br />

tiles, tower-like chimneys, balconies,<br />

ornamental ironwork, arcades, and<br />

interior courtyards.<br />

Tudor homes are all about indoor living,<br />

and these homes are usually asymmetric with<br />

dominating roof lines. Tudor homes tend to be<br />

made of sturdy, ‘noble’ materials, and hold up<br />

well against time and the elements. At least one<br />

room has a large fireplace that invites families<br />

to gather around the stone hearth. The interiors<br />

are traditionally filled with dark wood paneling,<br />

exposed timbers, and many separate rooms.<br />

Victorian homes are elaborate homes with<br />

intricate details inside and out. Typically two<br />

stories, Victorian homes are built more for beauty<br />

than functionality. They have asymmetrical floor<br />

plans, steep roof pitches with dormers, large<br />

ornate porches, and grand towers and turrets.<br />

Stylistically, these homes often have ornate trim,<br />

bright, whimsical colors, eyebrow windows, and<br />

decorative railings.<br />

All of these architectural styles can produce<br />

amazing residences that truly create special<br />

homes for those who live in them. The <strong>Dallas</strong><br />

Architecture Forum celebrates the best in design<br />

and invites you to join us to learn more about<br />

architecture, landscape architecture, interior<br />
