Four of our Projects Earn International Recognition for Future-Focused Design

The Epic, a new office building in the historic Deep Ellum neighborhood, acts as a gateway to the neighborhood, with 18 floors of flexible office space, parking, and retail, all housed in four uniquely stacked sections. . Representing the intersections of downtown Dallas, the Deep Ellum neighborhood character, the I-75 highway system, and the various scales of an emerging, vibrant district, this new type of office mirrors its community and integrates amenities like a rooftop garden, non-toxic materials, and bike storage and changing rooms for cycling commuters.

“With smart, sensitive design, The Epic draws new people and opportunities to the area, without losing its neighborhood scale,” says Design Director Ron Stelmarski.

“Our Dallas studio brought new life to a woefully shuttered building,” says Ron Stelmarski. “Not only is our office a new space for growth and innovation for our team, but it was an act of urban resuscitation.” Housed in a turn-of-the-century high school, the beautiful brick building sat abandoned for over 20 years in the emerging Arts District of Dallas, a neighborhood that resonated with our Dallas team and their commitment to the design community. . Our new workspace is designed to promote the practice of high-performance architecture and design with a variety of seating types and collaboration areas. Complete with a new materials library housed in the school’s historic stacks and a hybrid “cafetorium” that can morph between a reception, event or lecture hall, the result is a dynamic studio space that “connects with a collective memory,” inspired by talks with notable alumni and Arts community leaders.
