Southern Living Custom Builder Architectural Designer

We’re just a smidge late with this post, but before the year ends, we want to make sure we thank @dhome for awarding us the D Home Best Builder Award for the eleventh year in a row. This award represents a culmination of the most respected builders in Dallas where they are then presented to a panel of industry leaders and professionals, thoroughly vetted, and ultimately chosen. Thank you, D Home, so very much for your ongoing support! Thank you to our family, friends, and clients who have stood by us and supported us - we appreciate you more than you could ever imagine! Congratulations to our team members and trade partners, we could not do this without you. It truly takes a village and incredible teamwork to build a home! Congratulations to all of our colleagues on the list, well done!

Thank you, so much, to The Southern Living Custom Homebuilder Program for choosing us as your Featured Builder. We are honored and beyond flattered! We love being a part of such an incredible group of people! Joe and Michelle Vastano, the husband-wife team behind Joseph Paul Homes, are passionate about creating timeless, beautiful homes for their clients. Every single Joseph Paul Home is uniquely special to Joe and Michelle. The time they invest in getting to know their clients is critical to the execution of the design. Each home tells the client’s individual story. Above all, they believe that your home should be a sanctuary, a space that reflects your personality, and a place that will be the backdrop for years of family life and memories. Joseph Paul Homes is unique by offering two businesses in one—an architectural design firm and a custom home building company. Joe and Michelle met at UCLA, where Joe, after earning his B.S. in Environmental Design from Texas A&M, earned his M.A. in Architecture. Michelle’s passion for architecture and interior design and her background in visual merchandising give this team unique credentials. With decades of combined experience, they build locally in Dallas, TX, and design and consult nationally. Joseph Paul Homes practices the traditional owner-architect relationship, balancing design, specifications, and budget, then executing the project as the homebuilder as well. This two-tiered, hands-on approach allows them to be involved in every aspect of the project, from the moment the pencil hits the paper to move-in day. Joseph Paul Homes is an award-winning custom home builder in Dallas, TX, and has been a proud member of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program since 2022. @southernlivingmag @josephpaulhomes Photograpy ~ #1 @mistidavisphoto #4,5,7,8 @aaron_dougherty_photo @katienixon_photo #6 @emerydavis_photography #10 @aaron_dougherty_photo

‘Twas the night before Christmas 🎄

✨ Before and After Magic: This Cape Cod home got a stunning style makeover! ➡️ We designed and built this project for a client in the North Dallas suburbs with timeless architecture and intentional, thoughtful details. When Scout Design Studio used it for a photoshoot, bringing their lens and contemporary furnishings, giving it a whole new look, we were wowed! Swipe to see the transformation—rooms furnished vs. unfurnished. Proof that a well-designed home can be classic, modern, or uniquely yours! Huge shout out to @scoutdesignstudio for elevating our work with their vision.

Last week was a rough one for our family. Our little Ace, who was always sitting next to Joe while he worked, crossed the rainbow bridge. If you’ve ever been to our home, you know this tiny guy ran the whole place and had us all very well trained. He was the sweetest soul with the biggest attitude who loved me, Joe, Julia, Joseph, and Tucker just the way each of us needed to be loved. Our home and office feel so quiet and so different without him. We miss you so much Acer, we love you endlessly and hope you are having fun in heaven with Max. 💔🌈

We really need to start being better about videoing spaces because it’s so hard to show you what an entire area feels and looks like from still shots. We will do our best, again, with this one! So, here’s a look at this kitchen from a few different angles.✨ The combination of wood, warm white cabinetry, gorgeous marble, and 🏆 accents, makes this space perfect for both cooking and entertaining! Swipe ➡️ to take a tour and soak in every detail from our Moroccan influenced project. Let us know what you 🤔 and please like and share if you love this kitchen as much as we do!

Swipe ➡️ to see the kitchen in this mid century modern project right before we closed it. Our client came to us with a clear vision which was bold, creative, totally authentic, and we had the best time bringing it to life. From the smooth panel contemporary walnut cabinets, to the floating cylinder vent hood hanging above the cooktop, and the vintage-inspired lighting, every detail was intentional. ✨ Though we usually lean more traditional, this project was a refreshing shift and proof that great design is all about listening, collaborating, and stepping outside your usual lane (with style, of course). 📍Dallas, TX | Mid-Century Modern Kitchen 🎨 Vision: 100% the client! 💡 Execution: All in the details! 👉 Would you want a kitchen like this?

After all of the years we’ve been doing this, we still have pinch me moments. Some days, after walking a project, we just sit in the car…quite. Soaking it all in, in disbelief that this is what we get to call work - and life. We’re both creatives and if you are too, you’ll get it. We don’t just walk houses, we feel them. The light, the walls, the weight of potential and responsibility. It’s not just bricks and floor plans - it’s story, memory, and vision. And this one? This house feels different, it feels special! 🧑‍🎨 Tag a creative who gets it! 🛟 Save this if you’ve ever felt something you couldn’t explain!

We are absolutely thrilled to share a bird’s eye glimpse of this approximately 7,500 square foot home, nestled on a sprawling six-acre estate. From the moment we started this project, our goal was to bring the homeowners’ vision to life, and working alongside them was an absolute pleasure. Their passion, creativity, and dedication truly shine through in every corner of this beautiful residence as it isn’t just a house; it’s a home where so much love and thought have been poured into its creation. We’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and we hope you love it as much as we do!
