Pfluger Architects has expanded into the Dallas market and moved into the heart of Dallas' West End Historic District. By honoring the craftsmanship and industrial character of the historic Factory 603 building, the office's design celebrates the raw imperfections of natural materials. Natural cork on pristine white walls, Baltic birch millwork with 100-year old brick, and raw steel accents against a backdrop of old sawn timber create contrasts that make the space engaging and tactile. Glazing added to the office perimeter creates a dialogue with the original 1903 structure, provides exterior views, and brings in natural light that gives context while creating a sense of openness. By intentionally layering lighting and textures, multiple work environments were created while maintaining a sense of unity. Located at 603 Munger Avenue, Suite 130 in Dallas, Texas.

Congratulations to the 2023 AIA Houston Design Award Winner in the Greater Than > 50K SF Category: Texas A&M University – Southside Recreation Center. The flagship campus of Texas A&M boasts one of the largest student bodies in the country, with more than 66,800 students.

The 63,000-square-foot building blends elegantly with the site and the campus vernacular. An existing row of live oaks was protected to frame the grand entry plaza. A large overhang on the south and west facades further protects the glazing and provides shaded exterior space. As a result, occupants enjoy abundant natural light and pleasing views. Inside, the design is smart in its simplicity. A central spine with the lobby and support services anchors two high-bay fitness areas. The south bay is devoted to strength and conditioning. A slam wall and functional floor workout area occupy one end, where full-height windows afford pleasing daylight and views of the adjacent university golf course. The south bay also provides access to a large covered outdoor workout terrace. The other high bay on the building’s north side is used for two multi-purpose sports courts. Adjacent outdoor space features two volleyball courts and another exterior activity zone. The building’s central spine includes a mezzanine with cardio equipment and an exercise studio, a bouldering wall, locker rooms and support services.
