University Park Architect & Interior Designer | Maestri Studio
Recognized by D Home as both a Best Architect and a Best Designer, one of the only Dallas
studios honored on both lists.
University Park sits at the heart of the Park Cities, a close-knit, family-centered community
wrapped around SMU. Lots tend to be tighter than those in Preston Hollow, which places a
premium on how intelligently space is organized. Here, every square foot matters, and the
architecture has to work harder to create a sense of openness, light, and flow within more
defined boundaries.
We approach University Park projects with that discipline. The city's zoning and architectural
review process rewards homes that respect setbacks, scale, and the rhythm of the street, and
designing within those guidelines requires a deep understanding of context. Our experience in
University Park and across Dallas's conservation districts allows projects to move through
review efficiently and without compromise to the design vision.
As a studio that provides architecture, interior design, and landscape as a single integrated
service, we are well suited to University Park, where every element has to work together tightly.
The interior plan informs the architectural footprint, the landscape extends the living space into
the yard, and the result is a home that feels larger, more gracious, and more cohesive than its
lot might suggest.
University Park homes are made for daily family life: drop zones, homework spots, easy
kitchens, and durable, beautiful materials. We design for how families actually move through a
home, so that elegance and practicality are never at odds.
Recognized by D Home as both a Best Architect and a Best Designer, Maestri Studio brings
architecture and interiors together at a level few Dallas firms can. Our Park Cities work has
appeared in Luxe Interiors + Design, House Beautiful, and Architectural Digest. We would
welcome a conversation about your University Park home.
