Interesting Residential Design

A question for you architects - does this style have a name? It's new to me and I like it mucho. Are there examples of this in Fort Worth or other parts of the Fort Worth/Dallas area?
Do y'all like this style? I put these pics under this thread 'cause I thought might generate some discussion on incorporating new cutting edge residential design into Fort Worth's growth and development. Say for the near South Side or for the future Trinity River area. Underneath the pics is a link to the entire shoot of funky homes that I really liked if you're into it...

There were several homes representing this type of Architecture. Another noteworthy Architect in Austin is M J Neal who did the ramp house which you may have seen on What's With That House on HGTV.

I haven't heard of anything like this in Fort Worth, but would love to hear if others have? There are small traces here and there in Dallas, but nothing like you see in Austin.

From my perspective, these three examples 1) have far too few windows, 2) are a bit clumsily massed, 3) are rather clumsily fenestrated, 4) present nothing to the street and neighborhood other than a confused facade and a door hidden in a cave (well, except for the second one, I guess, which does have a porch), and 5) do not sufficiently create a sense of enclosure to the street and sidewalk.
I like some of the concepts, just not neccessarily the execution of these three.

The first reminds me of mid-century Modern, however modernists would never be seen putting cedar (redwood?) siding on thier houses. The third is got me puzzled. I know Austin is the capital of green construction, so maybe that house is built for energy efficency and not as much aesthetic impact. There really isnt a lot to tell from the photograph. Anyways, that is all I can offer. I could be entirely wrong. Hopefully there is an definitive answer out there though, cause now i am curious as well.
In Fort Worth, there are a few similar designs sprinkled around town. Obviously there are a few really good ones in

#1 is neat, kinda dr.'s officey.
#2 and #3 would be perfect along the coasts with ocean view.
I understand #2(middle), but the color scheme is just a tad off somewhere.
Nice native landscaping though. Could use some more cedar tree or hill country sage. Especially when in Austin area.

It is difficult to find this style here in FTW. Seems like the majority of folks want to keep things traditional, meditteranean, etc.., especially in Mira Vista!
I'm so glad some urban styling is going into the revitalization of the 7th Street corridor. We desperately need some more modern design in this city! We gotta keep it interesting,eh?! That is refreshing!

Lake Flato Architects does a high end version of this type of architecture, and one of their houses was on that AIA list of the top 25 Fort Worth structures. The house is on a court close to River Crest CC, and really isn't visible from the street.

Wow! Thanks for that link. We enjoyed looking at all their work. The home in Fort Worth is stunning!

MJ Neal designed an artist studio/home just twenty minutes south west of Fort Worth. It's called the Farley Studio and it has won city and state awards (AIA Austin and TSA)

Hi Matt good day!
