AMLI FOUNTAIN PLACE
Project Overview:
Astro had the privilege of contributing to the architectural finishes at AMLI Fountain Place, a prestigious high-rise office building in the heart of Dallas, Texas. Known for its striking modern design and luxury amenities, AMLI Fountain Place stands as one of the city’s most desirable residential spaces. The project aimed to elevate the building’s aesthetic and functionality through beautiful metalwork that enhanced its sophisticated, upscale atmosphere.
Astro was instrumental in crafting several custom architectural elements aligned with the building’s luxurious design and provided lasting value in visual appeal and utility. The outcome reflects a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, contributing to AMLI Fountain Place’s status as a premier place to live in downtown Dallas.
Key Custom Metalwork Features:
1. Custom Portals:
Astro designed and fabricated custom portals for aesthetic and functional purposes. These portals are meticulously engineered to provide optimal ventilation while maintaining a visual connection between spaces. Using blackened steel, the portals were crafted with a contemporary, geometric design that blends seamlessly with the building’s sleek, modern architecture. Their strategic placement enhances airflow and adds a layer of dynamic design, making them a unique feature in the building’s public areas.
2. Antique Brass Finishes on Countertops and Art Niches:
Antique Brass finishes were incorporated into countertops and art niches throughout the building to infuse the building with a timeless sense of luxury. This rich, warm metal complements the cool tones of the building’s glass and steel, introducing a contrast that catches the eye. Brass is a material that ages beautifully, providing an enduring aesthetic and a nod to classic elegance. Astro Sheet Metal’s skilled team ensured that each brass element was flawlessly integrated, giving a sophisticated edge to every eye-catching detail in the building.
3. Elevator Vestibules:
Elevator Vestibules were adorned with clear coated hot-rolled steel to elevate the building’s user experience. The metal cladding not only adds to the visual appeal but also contributes to the durability of the areas surrounding the elevator entries. The rugged and industrial finish helps creates a striking, modern look, making each trip to the elevator feel like an experience of luxury. The elevator vestibules were tailored to complement the building’s other interior metal finishes, such as the antique brass accents and other steel elements, creating a cohesive, upscale environment that reflects the high standards of AMLI Fountain Place.
4. Column Covers:
The decorative column covers, also crafted from clear coated hot rolled steel, were another custom feature significantly influencing the building’s design. These wraps were created to highlight the vertical spaces and add visual interest to the structure. The column wraps provided an aesthetically pleasing solution and a protective function, shielding the columns from wear and tear while maintaining a refined, polished look. The combination of functionality and elegance made these column wraps an essential component of the building’s design, drawing attention to the building’s architectural depth while ensuring long-term durability.
Design Intent and Collaboration:
The architectural finishes at AMLI Fountain Place were carefully crafted to mirror the building’s luxurious nature, blending the best high-end design with functional performance. Every detail, from the custom breezeways to the brass finishes on doors, was considered with precision and care. Astro Sheet Metal worked closely with the project’s architects and designers, as well as the millwork subcontractor, to ensure that each element met the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
Astro Sheet Metal and the design team collaborated to create a seamless fusion of functionality and beauty. The metal elements were not just decorative but integral to the building’s identity, adding layers of texture, enhancing the user experience, and supporting the overall vision for AMLI Fountain Place as a leading residential tower in Dallas.
Challenges and Solutions:
One of the challenges in this project was ensuring that the metalwork complemented the building’s modern aesthetic while maintaining functionality. For instance, the breezeways required intricate planning to provide structural support and design cohesion, ensuring they worked as intended without compromising the building’s sleek lines.
Similarly, coordinating the brass finishes with the other building materials—glass, steel, and stone—required careful attention to detail to ensure the final look was cohesive and striking. Astro Sheet Metal’s team worked diligently to provide finishes that would wear well over time while maintaining the integrity of the design.
Final Outcome:
The architectural finishes provided by Astro Sheet Metal have significantly contributed to AMLI Fountain Place’s prestigious status as one of the most desirable business addresses in Dallas. The bespoke metalwork—from the stunning brass door frames to the custom elevator cladding—has enhanced the building’s luxury aesthetic, creating an environment that reflects sophistication and modernity. These visually impressive elements serve functional roles that contribute to the building’s lasting quality and appeal.
The result is an office space that blends elegance with modern design principles, offering a prestigious, welcoming atmosphere for tenants and visitors alike. Astro’s craftsmanship and attention to detail have helped elevate AMLI Fountain Place to new heights, solidifying its place as a premier business destination in Dallas.
