This Class A office tower, entitled 1640 Edison, will create amazing energy in the Dallas Design District. The new building at the corner of Edison Street and North Stemmons Freeway/I35, will be 17 floors. With destination retail and restaurant amenities on the first floor, and a tenant lounge also on the ground level, 1640 Edison rises to provide a roof terrace with an overhang carousel at the top to give the idea that roof is floating mid-air.
The northeast side of the building has large angled canted columns at the entrance to create a dramatic opening to the space. The materials for the building include industrial and natural elements mixed - from glass, concrete and wood. The parking podium at 1640 Edison will be covered with an LED-lit mesh that will highlight the building for exciting visibility from Stemmons Freeway. The architectural elements throughout the project were inspired by the spirit and history of the Design District. Flair, fashion, patterns, textures, and arts of the already existing area heavily influenced the design of the architectural elements throughout the project.
