The existing exterior block wall was deconstructed in three key locations to establish a sense of place and entry. Two courtyards were carved out of the original ‘box’ integrating the landscape and bringing in additional natural light.
Employees have a choice of amenities to enjoy including a fitness center, putting green and sport courts, bicycle shop, vegetable gardens, dog run, beautiful landscaped areas, and a roof deck with eye-popping views over Lake Travis into the adjacent Balcones Canyon land Reserve.
Still more important, the building reconnects its occupants to the natural environment, an extension of the same commitment to sustainability that inspired the project at the outset.
