Straddling downtown Dallas’s eastern border with Deep Ellum, the new Epic development represents a large-scale offering of modern office leasing space. The Epic II Tower is the second tower to be completed. It includes seven levels of podium followed by a smaller tower footprint that continues upward through the 23rd floor. As such, the seventh floor’s footprint is an ideal location for outdoor terrace space.

The architect, Hocker, selected Rockville White granite from Coldspring for use as the primary material at terrace flatwork. Capable of withstanding weather and human interaction elements, granite excels in all types of situations due to its hardness and resistance to wear. The design utilized rectangular 5-foot x 2-foot, 6-inch x 2-inch thick pavers on pedestals for the east terrace. On the west terrace, the dimensions stretched to 6 feet x 2 feet, 6 inches with pieces having splayed cuts to form their parallelogram format. With flatwork defined, the architect then focused attention on further developing the east and west feature elements.
