Positioned strategically to maximize the breathtaking views offered by its elevated site, the PV14 House boasts a long axis that aligns perfectly with the city street grid to the southwest. This orientation allows for sweeping vistas of the serene lake, lush greenery, and the iconic skyline of downtown Dallas. The primary living areas have been elevated, creating a peaceful retreat above street-level hustle and bustle, inviting residents to indulge in the picturesque scenery that envelops them.

The innovative design of the PV14 House emphasizes both aesthetics and functionality through the extensive use of overhangs and porches. These architectural elements work seamlessly to shield windows from direct sunlight, ensuring an abundance of natural light indoors while preserving the spectacular views. The result is a bright, airy atmosphere that enhances the overall experience of living in this modern masterpiece, making it a haven for relaxation and enjoyment.

Sustainability is at the heart of the PV14 House, exemplified by the roof deck that serves as a solar screen for the insulated single-ply membrane roof below. This not only reduces energy costs but also extends the roof's lifespan, showcasing the residence's commitment to environmentally-friendly living. The honest expression of materials—concrete floors, exposed steel structures, pre-manufactured steel modules, masonry, and glass—contributes to the home’s modern aesthetic while embodying the principles of durability and authenticity.
