With a site surrounded by an all-star cast of architects including Rem Kool- haas/REX, Norman Foster, I.M. Pei, and SOM, expectations were not to be taken lightly, and therefore context was a crucial point of departure for the design. In order to generate the form of the building, views from and through the site were heavily analyzed and preserved, as well as main pedestrian and vehicular traffic through and around the site.
The driving force behind the development of the programmatical planning and detailing of the form was the idea of the site being the hub for the Arts Dis- trict and a source of energy and liveliness that contributes to the surrounding theatres and symphony halls. The ground level is primarily reserved for public use, and therefore allows the building to become more of a public destination in itself that simply a hotel and residence. Restaurants line the main pedestrian routes and help to energize the urban-like streetscape through the site, draw- ing people from downtown Dallas into the Arts District.
The facade of the building is intended to provide a dynamic and artistic ele- ment to the composition, allowing for the guests and residents to inhabit a more expressive space that strongly signifies the Arts District. The overall project allows for a more user-oriented program that directly adds to the public appeal of the Arts District, and completes a host of exceptional architecture that embodies a love of the arts and establishes a prominent focal point in the Dallas area.
