“We are so happy with our modern custom home! Alan was such a breath of fresh air – he made custom home building as non-stressful as it could be. Custom homes aren’t without challenges, but we wouldn’t trade our home or our experience with Alan. My husband and I really appreciated his attention to detail, and most of all, his genuine care for the product he was delivering to us. He has a really skilled design eye and stayed on top of everything – very thorough!”

“I found Alan Kagan by driving past his beautiful project on Prospect in Dallas. I immediately stopped and toured the home, and absolutely fell in love with his style, attention to detail, and his keen eye for artistic expression in his structures. We immediately knew that Alan was the builder we wanted for our modern home. We are beyond excited with what Alan and his architect have done for us. He is very professional, has gone out of his way to help us with a somewhat difficult project, and has such fantastic ideas. I highly recommend him.”

“Alan is a fabulous custom builder who is wonderful to work with. He is committed to his customers. He treats the trades with respect and pays his sub-contractors very quickly. He calls, and they jump! He is extremely picky and demands perfection. You will love his attention to detail, ideas, and great communication.”

“Alan Kagan is an amazing builder. I have worked with Alan and his designer, Josh. Together they put on paper fabulous ideas that come to life with wood framing that pushes the limits of design. Frank Lloyd Wright would be proud of Alan Kagan.”

“We have been in the construction industry for over 25 years and have just recently worked on a few of Alan’s projects. I would say I look forward to working with him due to his fresh approach on design and detail.”

Dek Davis – colleague


“I am an art professional and have had the pleasure of meeting with Alan on many of his projects to offer my humble advice here and there – as if he needed it. I am always amazed by his attention to detail, out-of-the-box thinking, and unique use of industrial and recycled materials. His projects are always well-thought out, organized, and on time, and the results are top notch. I would recommend Alan Kagan to anyone looking for a great contemporary designer and builder for their next project.”

Alan was instrumental and very involved throughout the whole process of getting my first modern home built. He is a visionary in that field, providing a quality modern home with many features and layouts that can be customized, which a lot of new home builders don’t offer.

He was available when needed and paid in-person visits when a problem would arise. All his homes feature new innovative ideas that many modern home builders miss. All this at a very attractive price point.

Overall I have been very happy and would do business with him any day and would recommend his services to friends and family.”

“When we moved to Dallas, we were looking for a home that was truly modern. We found Alan, and his attention to detail - from the way the lighting, windows, and even cabinetry align - deliver an end product that is both beautiful to look at and beautiful to live in. We’ve since built a second home with Alan, and absolutely love it.”

“Having collaborated with Dwellings on more than one dozen projects, our Firm can attest that it is not just a development company, but also a visionary's agent of change.

With a design curator’s eye for aesthetics, sound construction knowledge, and detailed management practices, Alan brings a truly unique set of qualities and experience to residential development and management.

Every detail from conception to completion is carefully planned and considered with a priority for quality design across all facets of a project. The personal attention and energy that Alan brings to every project is one that I have found to be unmatched.

Each and every Dwellings project raises the bar higher than those it followed and has repeatedly set a new standard for thoughtful, well-designed, and well-constructed modern development.”
