Modern Architectural Style


Architecture at Urban Reserve is modern, arising from the talents of a select group of regionally and nationally recognized architects. Rejecting historically false or retro styles, the homes of Urban Reserve are of their time and of their place–North Texas in the early 21st century.

Each home is sustainably designed, incorporating sensible siting and massing, non-toxic, high-quality materials, efficient systems, and low-impact construction techniques.

The Design Criteria Manual is a means to achieving and maintaining this vision, providing straightforward, user-friendly guidelines and standards. Minimum standards are intended to maintain cohesiveness, quality, and continuity among the homes of Urban Reserve, while encouraging the highest levels of innovation and creativity. Progressive and forward-thinking ideas in architecture, landscape architecture, and sustainability are encouraged, as long as they are consistent with the Urban Reserve vision.

Design at Urban Reserve is guided by a three-person architectural review committee consisting of a representative of the developer, the architect/master planner, and a representative of the homeowners association. Details of design review process are available in the Design Criteria Manual.
