Some buildings have more than one life...and occasionally, a starring role.

The MorningStar Oil & Gas building in downtown Fort Worth is one of those projects. Schwarz Hanson had the opportunity to restore and renovate this historic former home of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, restoring much of its original character while giving the building a new chapter.

If you've walked by, you may remember spotting classic cars, an airplane, or even a dinosaur.

Now, the building has another story to tell. It was recently featured in Paramount Television Studios, Taylor Sheridan's "The Madison," starring Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer. There's something special about seeing a project we helped preserve become part of the backdrop for a story told on a national stage - especially one filmed right here in Fort Worth.

Great design doesn't happen by inspiration alone - it comes from observation, exploration, iteration, and thoughtful decision-making. This week in our Expedition mentoring and training program, our team used trace paper and scales to develop and build upon one another's concepts for a fictional State Park Visitor's Center, demonstrating the power of collaborative design.
