Ultra-Clear, Low-E Glass Inside an Artistic Mosaic Frame Creates a Hip Mixed-Use Space
Named one of the ten best structures in Dallas by Dallas Morning News architectural critic Mark Lamster, 1217 Main Street once a 1950s-era bank building has been transformed into a mixed-use architectural gem in downtown Dallas. Designed by 5G Studio Collaborative, Dallas, the adaptive reuse marvel features a colorful handmade ceramic perimeter artistically framing a ground-level storefront and four-story curtainwall system with
Solarban® 90
Starphire® glass from Vitro Architectural Glass.
Josh Allen, partner, 5G Studio Collaborative, said it was critical for the six-colored blue mosaic façade, which was designed by well-known artist and sculptor Jorge Pardo, to be paired with the right glass system. “Numerous options were considered and after reviewing them all in combination with the artistic tile on the building.
The project is distinguished by a gleaming, point-fixed structural glass façade fabricated with Solarban® 70XL glass on Starphire Ultra-Clear® glass by Vitro Glass
