HOLISTIC CARE CENTER: COMBINING PREVENTION, PERFORMANCE, REHABILITATION, AND RESEARCH
Perkins&Will Dallas Studio
Design boards submitted to Rethinking the Future’s Built Work Competition. Team awarded Honorable Mention for submission.
The project operates as a social and scientific catalyst facilitating the complex interplay of human biology, comprehensive health, training, and recovery. The architectural plan strategically supports the identity of each program and fosters collaboration and exchange between the diagnostics, treatment, and rehabilitation zones. Layered, transparent spaces and circulation paths erase the division between program types and put simultaneous activities on display. The use of transparency showcases the human body in motion, creating a “living brand” experience, celebrating athleticism and physical fitness. This is dramatically expressed through a 9-meter-tall, retractable glass wall that opens and allows the field to extend outside and invites the public inside.

ADAPTIVE REUSE: HIGH SCHOOL TO DESIGN STUDIO
Design boards submitted to Rethinking the Future’s Studio Design Competition. Team awarded first place for submission.
The P&W Dallas Studio exemplifies the firm’s mission to enliven neighborhoods, build communities, energize the citizenry, and protect the Earth. In 2015, the studio leadership embraced the opportunity to embody the firm’s mission and highlight its commitment to sustainability, employee wellness, and beautiful workplace design. P&W chose Dallas High School, built in 1907, as the site for relocation in order to integrate into the community the studio serves. Working closely with a developer and a preservation architecture firm, the three parties brought back to life the historic high school that sat abandoned for 22 years. The office’s goal was to simultaneously keep history alive and incorporate the firm’s contemporary brand and studio environment.

The Deep Ellum neighborhood and its rich music and arts culture has always been an integral component of the Dallas urban environment. The railroad-hub removal and the infrastructural addition of US-75 in the 1960s modified that integration and deactivated many newly-formed, highway-adjacent sites. The Epic at Deep Ellum infills one of those sites, reestablishing a connection to the Dallas urban core and defining a new gateway for the historic neighborhood. It creates a formal and experiential transition between the low-rise, pedestrian scale of Deep Ellum’s historic fabric and the dense, high-rise verticality of downtown Dallas.
