15 amenity-rich office projects for 2025
Harwood No. 14
Dallas, Texas
Harwood No. 14 is a 27-story office building, the tallest in the Harwood District, located just north of the Dallas city center. At Harwood No. 14, the team delivered a building consistent with the evolution of the Harwood District as an upscale, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood.
In its original conception, each of the 2,400 individual curvilinear fin units in the curtain wall system had a unique, non-repeating profile. To make the vision constructible within the limits of time and budget, the team simplified and systematized the fins in consultation with the curtainwall fabricator to provide three unique profiles and three unique attachments which could be combined and trimmed to create more complex geometries.
The building’s exterior facade is lit with a configuration of 288 downlights creating an illuminated pinstripe effect that allows the fins to be seen at night. Harwood No. 14 also features two ground floor restaurants, green spaces, terraces, and balconies. Granite boulders—sourced from the same Oregon quarry that provided the stones for the Rolex Building castle wall—are featured throughout the landscaping of Harwood No. 14.
