Modern Luxury Features One Arts Plaza Condo



In this month's issue, one of our very own residents', Lucilo Pena and Lee Cobb's penthouse got a glamorous six-page feature. Very exciting stuff! Lucilo is President of Development for Billingsley Company and therefore was very involved in this project. So much so in fact that he and his partner Lee decided to relocate from their home in Uptown to the 24th floor with a 3,400-square foot two-bedroom penthouse. Designed in tandem with the building's architect, Lionel Morrison, the result is a classically modern, spacious home with window walls that take in magnificent city views.

Floating Square




Check out this amazing photo taken by Guy Reynolds of Dallas. It actually won the Art & Seek's "Flickr Photo of the Week" contest last week. Taken a few years ago before the Winspear and Wyly were built, Reynolds says "The distinctive square of light on One Arts is like a signature piece on the skyline, and I wanted to present it in a way people don't oridinarily see it." He certainly accomplished his goal. While shooting, he was working on an article for the Dallas Morning News about the new "bling" popping up on our skyline. Lionel Morrison, the archiect for One Arts Plaza explains his reasons for choosing the square: "It's the basic geometric shape that we use in the design of the entire building. It's one of the those elements that really centers the building..in a very classic way and creates this iconic element..which made it a natural for an element to be illuminated at night. The square is a powerful, iconic shape."
