Many thanks to Sarah Blaskovich and Pegasus News who recently ran an overview of the Re: Vision Dallas competition. Sarah has been onto us since the project was a “pipe dream” and stayed with us long enough to see the dream become a reality (in due time). To read the full article click here.

Re:Vision Dallas was part of a series on ABC World News with Charlie Gibson last night titled “Downsizing your Dream Home”. The piece focused on housing trends including buying smaller homes, energy efficiency and renting. The Re:Vision Dallas project is highlighted as a new trend towards energy efficient urban living.
ArchDaily, the incredibly impressive online information community serving architects and designers, recently reviewed the “Commonwealth” submission from the folks at PIKL in San Diego. Karen Cilento reports on the 300,000 square foot living space which features a 70,000 square foot commercial area. Though not a winner in the Re: Vision Dallas contest, “Commonwealth” did receive honorable mention and will forever be an example of a possible direction the city block could have gone.
