Pump House

Pump House in Dallas, Texas, 2004
Originally the Turtle Creek Pump House, which supplied water to the Township of Highland Park from 1924 to 1950. The utilitarian structure was purchased by the adjacent homeowner and turned into a space for art and venue for intellectual discourse. This was a brilliant adaptive reuse project by Cunningham Architects, interior designer Emily Summers, and landscape architects Stan and Mary Ellen Cowan with Mesa Design Group, in collaboration with Julie Bargmann of D.I.R.T. Studio.
