For over a century, Rolex watches have been recognized as classic timepieces that feature high-quality design and precision timekeeping. When it came time for the historic company to expand to a new office tower in downtown Dallas, it was only fitting that the new space reflected its values. Rolex Tower accomplished its ambitious design goals with an eye-catching façade that features Solarban® 67 Optigray®glass by Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass).
Designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates of Tokyo and Harwood Design Factory (HDF) of Dallas, Rolex Tower rises from a multi-tiered garden of reflective pools, native plantings and a hand-chiseled quarry stone wall that connect the company’s new headquarters to the natural environment. This eight-story structure is abruptly staggered to maximize daylighting and city views and to accommodate its expanded outdoor terraces and garden sanctuaries.
