Each team is led by a Principal who maintains a hands-on leadership role throughout the duration of each project, affording our clients access to the programming, design and project management systems that we have refined over more than 40 years of practice.
DESIGN
Great design solutions often spring from the collaborative discussion of multiple design options between the design team, the client and consultants. We compare and review these options, and through a process of deletion and selection, synthesize the solutions to meet our clients’ needs. A wide range of tools are utilized to communicate design ideas, including physical models, hand sketches, 3D renderings and virtual fly-throughs. By involving the entire project team, we achieve our goals of creating consensus and minimizing road blocks.
COMMUNICATION
BOKA Powell utilizes an effective communication style that brings order to the multiple ways team members interface by supporting tools they use, including conference calls, e-mail, GoToMeeting and video conferencing. Our online management of project information – including meeting notes, design presentations and construction documents – allows the client and consultant team to have continuous, yet controlled access for review, markup and group discussion. Our pioneering use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has further enhanced the ability of the consultant team to coordinate complex building systems and discover cost-saving solutions.
INNOVATION
Recognized throughout our industry for our ingenuity and practicality, we carefully evaluate new technology in building design and construction, including integrated project delivery and Building Information Modeling (BIM), evolutions in construction systems, new materials, advances in under-floor air distribution and MEP systems, and progressive improvements in the technical and cost performance of building systems and materials. Our philosophy is to safeguard the interests of our clients by thoroughly evaluating the track record of any new concepts and materials prior to proposing their use on a project.
SUSTAINABILITY
BOKA Powell is committed to creating respectful, sustainable design solutions. The main objectives of our green design approach are to minimize the wasteful expense of energy, water and raw materials, and mitigate environmental degradation caused by materials and systems throughout their life cycle, and beyond. We work to achieve these goals as a matter of course throughout all of our projects, striving where possible to specify materials and systems that have an environmental benefit. When sustainability is a stated goal of the client, our LEED®accredited design teams bring the ability to achieve the highest standards up to LEED Platinum certification.

633,670 SF A Southwest first, the Wings garage is a $32M pre-cast concrete, seven-level structure encompassing 633,670 SF and capacity for more than 1,949 cars. Southwest’s corporate culture has long embraced the egalitarian appeal of surface parking, where executives and rank-and-file park in the same lot. However, Southwest’s exponential growth over the last few years has prompted a need for denser parking arrangements to support future expansion. The requirement to
include a garage within the Wings complex came well after ground had already broken for the office building and flight training center. The design team was able to locate a garage with the desired capacity on available land behind the office building and flight training center and away from the existing rail line.

Masterplanning Architectural Design PROJECT SIZE
139.5 Acres
Southwest Airlines engaged BOKA Powell and landscape design firm TBG to lay out a flight plan for development at their Dallas headquarters, located just west of runway 13R/31L at Dallas Love Field. More than 100 staff were engaged through a variety of in-person work sessions and charrette workshops. The plan, which guides Southwest’s physical expansion for the next 20 to 30 years and beyond, focused on connectivity and identity. A main priority of the plan is to unite the campus by addressing two major parallel obstacles: Denton Drive and the DART Light Rail line that bifurcate the existing headquarters. By facilitating pedestrian movement via bridges – one of which is nearly complete – Employees are able to safely access Southwest’s main office buildings via conditioned, elevated connection. Southwest’s People are the company’s top priority, and that commitment is manifest throughout the campus. Plazas and open outdoor spaces become major parts of the campus fabric, contributing to a healthy community atmosphere. Outdoor areas, ceremonial “Hearts” of the campus, serve a variety of users and become a place for announcements, events, recruitment activities, welcome ceremonies, and supporting the wellness needs of corporate campus Employees. In all, more than three million square feet of new office buildings plus supporting garages are planned, in addition to other specialty buildings. The master plan is based on extensive documentation completed to form a baseline set of parameters, including land use, zoning, mass transit connections, utilities, environmental considerations, parking, traffic, security, and opportunities for outdoor spaces. .
