Official's Houndstooth Coffee With Jettison Cocktail Bar In Dallas

This concept's dual function as a bar and coffee shop drove Official to concept the 2k SF space for both day and night. Houndstooth occupies the larger, sunlit area while Jettison fills the intimate back corner. Official won because of its playful interiors, creative use of light and duality of spaces.

Perkins+Will's Fire Station No. 27 In Dallas

This 24k SF fire station is the first multi-story station built in Dallas in over a century.
