Joule Hotel Expansion

Dallas, Texas
After completing the conversion of the historic 16-story Dallas National Bank Building with a new adjacent 10-story building addition into the luxurious boutique Joule Hotel in 2007, Architexas provided architectural services to expand the hotel. Six adjacent properties were acquired for the expansion, of which four properties are historic structures fronting Main and Commerce Streets. Working with Tihany Design of New York, Architexas was the design architect for the significant expansion which encompassed adjacent historic buildings with new construction to include an expanded hotel lobby, banquet/ballroom and meeting space, 35 guest room suites and a roof terrace event space. The project provided Main and Commerce Street retail space including a spa. It also features the restored historic mosaic art from the Mercantile Bank, removed from the 1958 Mercantile Bank. The project utilized the City of Dallas Tax Increment Finance funding and received tax credits as a Certified Rehabilitation.
