Within the historic Samuels Glass building, the new Pullman Market offers a symphony of sensory delights that invite visitors to embark on a journey of discovery with the rich foodways and bounty of Texas. The building’s original materials show history and patina and provide a stunning contrast to the new elements. The result is a tactile experience that is both captivating and engaging. Visitors are drawn into the market’s vibrant atmosphere by way of light-filled patios created by infill between structural elements that connect to the rest of Pearl’s bustling pedestrian experience. By preserving the building’s existing structure and shell, the project not only eliminated tons of waste from local landfills, but also added to the historic and cultural fabric of its context.
