NorthPark Center

Location: Dallas, Texas

The largest shopping center in North Texas, and among the top 5 shopping destinations in the country, NorthPark Center has maintained its unique sense of identity for 50 years. A rare achievement for a regional shopping center, NorthPark Center’s architecture has afforded OMNIPLAN the honor of receiving several Design Awards from the Texas Society of Architects, and also the Dallas Chapter AIA, which specifically honored us with a 25-Year Award. In 2022, NorthPark Center was recognized by the Texas Society of Architects with an Architectural Landmark Award.

Inside NorthPark, a controlled introduction of natural light animates sequences of modular spaces. The ceiling’s skeletal structure is expressed concrete—borrowing light from baffled clerestories and skylights to fill the mall’s open spaces. Its dark stained floors and white brick walls comprise its minimalist materials palette, which carries throughout the contemporary expansion. Given careful attention to space, order and natural light, its restrained design has secured lasting success for its simple palette.
