Highlighting the recently completed Harmony Bank✨⁠🏦⁠
⁠Banking on good design.⁠
⁠
We recently completed the interior finish-out for Harmony Bank’s new location in The Cedars — a space designed to strike the right balance between professionalism and warmth from the moment customers walk through the door.⁠
⁠
Natural daylight washes over the minimalist perforated white stair, drawing the eye — and your feet — upward to the second-level offices. On the ground floor, an open workspace and integrated coffee bar create an environment that feels equally welcoming and productive.⁠
⁠
Great design should work as hard as the people inside it.⁠

We had such a great time at the Preservation Achievement Awards last night!🍾

It’s always meaningful to be recognized by peers for work we care deeply about—especially when that work helps preserve the stories, character, and culture embedded within Dallas’ historic spaces.

Celebrating inside one of our Preservation Achievement Award-winning projects, the Longhorn Ballroom, made the evening even more special.

Here’s to restoring, renovating, and preserving the historic buildings that shape Dallas’ identity.

Highlighting one of our past addition renovation projects: Churchill Recreation Center in North Dallas

This 4,480-square-foot expansion introduced multi-purpose rooms, a workout center, new locker and shower facilities, and expanded courtyard and parking space. Our founding principal, Bob Meckfessel's, design seamlessly complemented the existing building and surrounding landscape.

The project incorporates a range of sustainable features—balanced daylighting, high-efficiency lighting, regional materials, native and non-invasive landscaping, a highly reflective roof, and low-flow plumbing fixtures.

Churchill Recreation Center continues to serve its community more than 25 years after its original construction and over a decade after DSGN's contributions.

The next GREEN+ session is here🌿🌞

Session 4:
Great design doesn’t have to be expensive. This session looks at how architects use natural site conditions—sun, shade, breezes, and microclimates—to create energy-efficient housing.

📍 Session 4: Passive Solar Design in Texas
📅 April 14
⏰️ 11am-12:30pm CT

Led by industry experts DSGN's Beth Brant, AIA, LEED AP BD + C, LFA of DSGN and Chris Mundell, AIA, LEED FELLOW of Parkhill. This series is hosted on Zoom—just register using the link in our bio.

We hope to see you there!
