Grussendorf says. The window demands attention, so I didn’t want to do anything to detract from it. The original raisin-and-white marble floors were restored. - Designer Larry Grussendorf And The Four Seasons Estate - D Magazine

Autumnal coloring comes naturally from the mahogany wood paneling, basket weave mahogany floors, and raisin-colored marble fireplace surround and carved mantle, by adding a backdrop of cinnamon-colored silk draperies and sheers. Because the room is so dark and needed a lift, or a sparkle, I brought in a contemporary acrylic coffee table, Grussendorf says. - Designer Larry Grussendorf And The Four Seasons Estate - D Magazine

One can imagine Daisy and Gatsby lounging in the solarium, the French doors flung open to let in a summer breeze. Even though it evokes summertime casualness, it’s still a glamorous room, with Texas fossil limestone walls, the original star medallion terrazzo floors, and a trompe loeil of clouds and blue sky on the ceiling. - Designer Larry Grussendorf And The Four Seasons Estate - D Magazine

The wall color was toned down with several layers of umber glaze, Grussendorf says, for a more antiqued look. The ornate moldings on the ceiling and the carved-shell niches were painted green instead of a contrasting color so that nothing would detract from their beauty. Verdant silk draperies and embroidered green sheers, which softly filter the light. An existing French crystal chandelier. Dining room chairs upholstered in citrus velvet by Lee Jofa.

Federal Revival Estate | This wing was pulled away from the rear facade in order to preserve a large arched leaded glass window over the existing main stair. The new, all limestone exterior wall encloses a wide gallery which connects to the new family room and contains the back stair up to the new Master Suite. This wall was sheathed all in limestone to separate the not quite perfectly matched new brick from the old brick.

Working closely with the owner, Richard Drummond Davis Architects designed a new brick and cut limestone wing to this Federal Revival style residence in the Volk Estates area of University Park. The new wing more than doubled the size of the existing residence and includes a new family room, breakfast room, circulation gallery, master bedroom suite and garage for three additional cars. The original residence was designed by Hal Thomson in 1928.
