Forest Lane is a staple road in Dallas, connecting a variety of neighborhoods across the city. It is busy and always humming with traffic. I was tasked with designing a new driveway and entry for the clients.
This street is aptly named as it has conserved a number of its original trees in the non-private areas. Yet, it lacked the same amount of coverage on the lots themselves. I chose to mimic Forest Lane’s median on the property, providing a small grove as a driveway.
This arrangement transitions anyone coming off of the street from a public forest to a private forest. I worked on the design of the driveway and plant selection under the supervision of David Rolston.
