缅因街1217号大楼位于达拉斯市中心，其的新颖设计是对20世纪50年代银行大楼进行的惊人改造。客户委托出生于古巴的艺术家Jorge Pardo（麦克阿瑟基金会研究员，其作品集意在探索当代绘画、设计、雕塑和建筑的交集）设计了36215块手工制作的釉面瓷砖，并将其作为建筑物的主要覆层材料。这些瓷砖的灵感来自得克萨斯州蓝天的微妙变化，用不断变化的醒目颜色包裹着建筑物。

为了准确地表达陶瓷艺术，设计团队为瓷砖设计了一个技术上复杂的立面子结构，以实现控制缝和伸缩缝、面板接缝或模块接缝或阴面粗线的视觉隐藏。

建筑的一楼设有面包店/咖啡馆/肉铺/杂货店，上面则是四层创意办公楼层。此外，将屋顶改造成可使用的办公楼层，外部带有阳台，可供欣赏达拉斯市中心的外景。

城市艺术与建筑的成功融合使这座建筑成为一个新的市中心地标，无时无刻不充满着活力。这一设计强烈表达了客户的意图，通过将著名艺术家的作品与重大建筑改造相结合，使达拉斯市中心成为永远充满活力的步行环境。

Located in downtown Dallas,the new design of 1217 Main Street is a striking transformation of a 1950s-era bank building.The client commissioned the Cuban-born artist Jorge Pardo—a MacArthur Foundation Fellow whose body of work explores the intersection of contemporary painting,design,sculpture,and architecture—to design 36,215 handmade,glazed ceramic tiles to become the primary cladding material for the building.The resulting tiles get their inspiration from the subtle variation of the Texas blue sky,wrapping the building with a striking and ever-shifting color.

To express the ceramic art properly,the design team devised a technically complex facade substructure for the ceramic tiles to enable the visual concealment of control and expansion joints,panel or module seams,or shadow lines.

The ground floor of the building is occupied by a bakery/café/butcher shop/commissary operation topped with four stories of creative office floors above.The roof was also converted into an occupiable office floor with exterior balconies affording the outdoor enjoyment of the Dallas downtown scene.

This successful merging of the urban art and architecture transfigures the building into a new downtown anchor that is now full of life day and night.It strongly expressed the client’s intention to permanently transform downtown Dallas into a vibrant pedestrian environment by combining the work of a renowned artist with a major architectural alteration.
