Austin_300LAMAR

The 300 Lamar project was a study to create street interest and a signature address. The existing building has great materials, but the palette is very neutral and nothing pops against the urban fabric background. Also there is no main entry or at least from a pedestrian and automobile perspective the façade did not read as having a place to call the front door. We simply used a collection of colors that are still neutral and vibrant and contrasted the base of the building with a darker steel color accent. The building address becomes an iconic tower element and the front door address is blended with an olive green screen wall and a large graphic 300. The intent is the 300 becomes the branded element throughout the project. This is work still in progress and we are excited to see the final outcome.

Teasdale Grading

Walked the Teasdale site this morning to review the grading up to the new foundation walls. The site is a tough design with subgrade water, a site build up for street grading, a lake less than 100 feet away, and the wedge shape property lines addressing the cul de sac and shared driveway. It is beautiful to see the process develop from the drawings.

These projects and images represent interior spaces that influence the design concept. This design package is a visual library of ideas and a resource for choreographing the urban contemporary space. Soft lighting, private high back booth seating, an inviting lounge bar, open storage, textural pattern and form and an inviting environment are all combined with chef inspired healthy food and drink options to create a retreat for the Denver International Airport traveler.
