Model Home Design at Museum Tower

Three of Dallas’ leading interior designers have been selected to each design a model home in the prestigious, contemporary residential high-rise project Museum Tower - in the heart of the Dallas Arts District. The designs will illustrate the range of personal style and creativity that each Museum Tower homeowner can bring to their residence.

The three chosen designers are Emily Summers, Emily Summers Design Associates; Ann Schooler, Schooler, Kellogg & Company; and Marco French, Marco French Studio. The three featured homes, ranging in size from 2,100 to 3,700 square feet, will incorporate styles that feature contemporary, transitional and traditional treatments. The model homes at Museum Tower will be completed by early 2012.

Museum Tower will have 42-stories with 112 ultra-luxury condominiums envisioned as “sky-bound” estates, with nine floor plans ranging from a dramatic 1,600-spare foot pied-a-terre to a spacious full-floor of more than 9,000 square feet. Interiors will offer great rooms with hardwood floors, luxurious stone bathrooms and gourmet kitchens featuring Miele appliances. Museum Tower is sure to become a new icon in the expanding downtown Dallas skyline.
