He moved in September 2025, breaking his postdivorce lease at The Village.

“I’ve always been inspired by the midcentury modern era,” he says. “My uncle was an architect. He lived in Milwaukee, and he had a midcentury modern ranch. And I still remember as a young kid going to my Uncle Earl’s house and just loving the flat roof lines, loving the wood, and it just felt so warm.”

Williams visited Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater in Laurel Highlands, Pennsylvania and his Taliesin out West in the McDowell Mountains of Scottsdale, Arizona. It’s probably why the entry door into the courtyard will be Wright’s favorite burnt red.

“When I became a homeowner, it fit my style,” he says. “You know, I love nature. I love the windows. And I just like watching some of the movies that have these (mid-century modern). I love Palm Springs. I wish I could get one there. It just fits my flow.”

Williams utilizes one of the bedrooms as his office, where his accolades hang alongside a picture for Uncle Ken by his neighbor’s 5-year-old daughter. Two of the bedrooms are for his stepsons, an aspiring veterinarian Daniel and a marine biology enthusiast, Nicholas, who go to Hexter Elementary and Henry W. Longfellow, respectively.

“They are my heartbeat. They really are. Nicholas and Daniel changed my life,” he says. “I don’t have biological kids, but those are my boys.”

Part of his motivation for strengthening his roots in Dallas is building a future for the boys.

RGD+B, which specializes in mid-century modern, will be tapped for the renovation plans to expand the home by another 1,000 square feet, predominantly in the primary suite and the kitchen. Williams, who is an avid cook, wants to add a larger stove, island and refrigerator.

Replacing the electrical system, with hopes to revitalize some of the original fixtures, and plumbing will modernize some functional elements of the house. The windows, which will need to be custom cut to fit the unique framing, will most likely be replaced as well. The corkboard floors will be replaced by warm, period-appropriate hardwood flooring.

The terrazzo will remain untouched.
