AIA Dallas Picks Design for Prized Uptown Space

DALLAS-The Dallas Center for Architecture will make its presence known in Uptown, with a class A, interior office design anchored by a box with a skin that changes colors.

[IMGCAP(1)]DALLAS-Three friends since architectural school at Tulane University in New Orleans have won the AIA Dallas competition for the Dallas Center for Architecture, a project that places the city onto a select roster for the design world. AIA Dallas is in the process of raising funds for the interior retrofit of the class A office space, which has been locked down with a 10-year lease.

Peter Doncaster of Booziotis & Co. in Dallas, Nicholas Marshall of nodesign in New Orleans and Gabriel Smith of Thomas Phifer and Partners of New York City topped 24 other qualified entries for the 9,000-sf first-floor office in the Precept Building at 1909 Woodall Rodgers Freeway. Doncaster says the winning design’s goal was to make the nondescript space stand out amid Uptown’s towering cluster of high rises and play up what will eventually will be a front-row seat on the proposed $45-million-plus Woodall Rodgers Park, an over-the-freeway link for Uptown and Downtown that’s being compared to Chicago’s Millennium Park, San Francisco’s Freedom Park and New York City’s Central Park.

Coming in second in the competition was a team from 5G Studio_collaborative LLC, led by Hoang Doang. Other team members were Fred Meyer, Audrey Lucardi and Christine Robbins.
