The Oasis

Irving, Texas
Architect of Record
62,000 SF

The design includes 24,000 SF of retail and office space including two small cafes. There are 28 two and three-bedroom apartments on the 2nd and 3rd floor. The apartment features include high-end finishes, balconies and ample natural light. The building has commercial restrooms, an elevator, an exercise room with vaulted ceilings, and an elaborate rooftop patio.

A beautiful courtyard between the two buildings will provide a secure play area for the children along with a well-lit walking track around it. Special attention was given to bringing natural light to the double-loaded hallway through clear story windows and light wells topped with skylights. A covered drop-off provides easy access in inclement weather.

The exterior facade was designed carefully with well-proportioned arched walkways in front of the first-floor retail. 2nd and 3rd floor features brick cladding and cast stone molding. Lighting was meticulously designed to highlight the building’s features. The site drops at the south end, this challenge was taken as an advantage to create interesting steps to provide outdoor gathering space in front of the retail area.
