The Dallas Design District is a neighborhood known for design, art, shopping and dining. As part of the neighborhood’s revitalization, Olson Kundig partnered with developer Headington Companies to transform an 11,700-square-foot segment of the District into an inviting new public complex containing two restaurants, a takeaway coffee shop and a public breezeway. The design brief from the owner was to open a space previously closed with a solid façade by cutting a large swath out of the building and constructing a steel-framed entry canopy over the newly exposed center court. Retaining the District’s original 1950s warehouse-industrial character, the new pavilion contributes to the neighborhood’s ongoing evolution into the artistic heart of downtown Dallas.
