Xero Project


Re:Vision Dallas Competition
2009

Our team, composed of members from David Baker + Partners Architects and Fletcher Studio, took one of three first place awards out of over 125 entries in the Re:Vision Dallas competition.

The proposal reaches beyond the competition site near Dallas’s city hall to propose a new district that enacts a symbiosis of agriculture and daily life. Two intersecting greenways, pieced together from open space and disused sites, connect existing public amenities and provide a framework for future development. At the greenways’ intersection, two dense residential towers with micro-retail at street level incorporate passive and active systems to achieve a high level of resource efficiency. This mixed-use development is designed to meet density and sustainability requirements while catalysing a broader district vision.
