ROOFTOP AMENITY
Greenhouse structure with 20’ high sidewalls
was erected as a “solarium” resident amenity.
Cupola reclaimed from private unit to become
amenity for all building residents to enjoy. Pool
configuration was simplified and added much
needed shading device over the pool.
HISTORIC CUPOLA RECONSTRUCTION
Original steel structure clad in terracotta was
severely deteriorating to point of imminent
failure. Dallas Landmark Commission granted
approval to reconstruct the structure in
place to match original size and appearance
using GFRC as a substitute material. GFRC
was the only material that would allow for
modern waterproofing over the steel frame
while maintaining original three dimensional
specifications.
LOBBY FOR ARTWORK
We converted the former retail space into
grand lobby with artwork and seating for
the public during business hours. Leasing is
located beyond the steel frame storefront with
antique leaded glass. Materials and spatial
components are time period appropriate for the
1926 bank building. Meanwhile, an undulating
ceiling floats over the space in distinct modern
contrast to materials at human-scale.
