Developed by Granite Properties, 23Springs is a state-of-the-art, Class AA office building located in Uptown Dallas. The property offers a premier experience for the Dallas community, privileging placemaking through innovative design features and elevated amenity offerings. To help achieve this vision, Granite partnered with TurningArt to curate a collection that complements the building’s sophisticated interior design while celebrating the local Dallas surroundings.
From Cecilia Christman, the Art Advisor:
"The primary goal for 23Springs was to curate an elevated and dynamic art collection that would inspire tenants and reflect Granite’s dedication to delivering extraordinary customer experiences. The resulting artwork beautifully complements the property’s innovative features and reflects the local Texas artist community.
When starting the curation process, we leveraged TurningArt’s custom gallery page tool to align on aesthetic directions and preferred subjects. While some initial themes carried through, we pivoted our style slightly after gathering feedback from additional members of the Granite team. We landed on the final selections through a highly collaborative process rooted in open communication and frequent meetings.
One of the priority artwork placements was a large-scale wall at the top of the grand staircase. It was an exciting challenge to intentionally furnish a wall of that scale, and we commissioned a five-piece series by local artist Daniela Pasqualini. The gradient, textural composition is inspired by a sunset and incorporates the rich colors of the lounge’s furnishings.
Working with Nate, Aaron, and the entire Granite Properties team was a pleasure. They are thoughtful, engaged collaborators whose deep care for delivering an unparalleled client experience resulted in a state-of-the-art collection and space. The final artwork program is an eye-catching blend of dynamic, vibrant abstract paintings that welcome tenants, employees, and visitors to the space.”
From Nathaniel Krisko, Development Manager at Granite Properties:
“When building 23Springs, we set out to create a distinctive space that feels like more than an office building. Placemaking was our priority, and we knew that art would be a valuable finishing touch to complement our amenity offerings and to inspire our tenants.
We were excited to engage TurningArt’s local artist network for the space. Cecilia expertly guided us through the artwork selection process and delivered a sophisticated and dynamic art collection that celebrates Dallas’ rich culture. The final collection adds high-impact visual interest to the space and seamlessly blends with the building’s sophisticated and inviting design.”
