The Citizenry / Dallas, Tx

The new 6000sf headquarters for artisanal homewares brand The Citizenry is located in the distinctive 400 Record building in downtown Dallas. The clients were seeking a space to accommodate the company’s expansion while reflecting its values of partnership, storytelling, and ethical design. The result was an exercise in elevating standard material systems to create a highly crafted environment on a moderate budget.

The 2x2 acoustic ceiling tiles are modified with unique features such as linear maple light coves and recessed slat ceilings. The wood detailing is continued in bespoke desks and a custom storefront wall, which contains private offices and conference rooms. Programmatically, the work and meeting areas are complimented by a generous cafe-like breakroom that doubles as an ‘all-hands’ gathering space. The company’s textiles and ceramics complete the effort to make a corporate workspace that has a warmth and comfort more akin to a residential project.

The project was featured in AN Interior's Spring 2020 issue.
