5G Studio Collaborative

We design for the future and repurpose old landmark buildings along for the ride. That's what our Principal, Christine Robbins-Elrod, shared at Texas Society of Architects/AIA conference.

Read more on our website on the brilliant intentions that made the adaptive reuse of the Maple Terrace Apartments into a modern Class AA Boutique Office building possible. We thank Hines for entrusting us with the assignment and to GFF and SWA for the awesome collaborations.

The original Maple Terrace Apartments, designed by famed English architect Sir Alfred Bossom in 1925 as Dallas’s first luxury high-rise residential tower and a cultural landmark in the city, served as the centerpiece of a new remixed-use destination in Uptown Dallas. At one time the tallest residential building in Dallas, Maple Terrace was in its time a premier address, accommodating visitors like Judy Garland, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

The Welcome Pavilion is featured in Architectural Record. One of two buildings designed by 5G Studio Collaborative, the pavilion welcomes all visitors at the gateway to Walmart's new Home Office Campus in Bentonville. The sprawling campus features Gensler-designed 2.4 million square feet of offices which are predominately built with mass timber and numerous other structures and sets a new standard in workplace environmental design.

The campus' SWA-designed "Big Nature" landscape dissolves the boundaries between manmade structures and the surrounding landscapes with 115 acres of native and adaptive plantings, 13 acres of lakes and bioswales, and a one-mile-long forested greenway.

Many thanks to our collaborating partners, including BOKA Powell (Architect of Record), DCI Engineers (Structural Engineer), and INK + ORO (Interior Design).
