San Rafael, Calif.-based EDG Interior Architecture + Design is designing the interiors for the redevelopment of the 50-story Reunion Tower and the historic Union Station, both located in Dallas, Texas. A Chef Wolfgang Puck restaurant and banquet space will be set atop Reunion Tower and a Wolfgang Puck catering service will operate the event space on the second floor of Union Station. Substantial completion of these spaces is expected by year-end 2008.

Both structures adjoin the Hyatt Regency Dallas at the southwestern gateway to downtown Dallas. The 200-seat restaurant in Reunion Tower will welcome guests with a circular wine display, located in the center of the restaurant. The cityscape can be viewed between an illuminated revolving glass bar on the left and a flamed granite wood-fire display kitchen on the right. A second bar will be positioned on the rotating platform itself, facing the view. A curved wall of charcoal tile will hug the adjacent dining and lounge space, and within it will be a series of time-lapse photographs of the Dallas cityscape.

EDG is collaborating with McCall Design Group of San Francisco and the historic preservation firm Architexas on the renovation of the Union Station's meeting space. The team is exposing and restoring the building's original black walls, cast iron facades, quarry tile floors and paint colors. A newly opened space will serve as a pre-function area and will reveal the old train mezzanine from which the stationmaster watched the flow of trains. Two large windows, flanked by elaborate wood bars, will establish visual connectivity with downtown Dallas and Reunion Tower. The refurbished 8,594-sq.-ft. Grand Hall, to host public and private gala events, will be the keystone of the project.
