TELA collaborated with Lake | Flato Architects on The LIVESTRONG® Foundation headquarters, located on the site of an existing East Austin warehouse. The location created an opportunity to forge a strong neighborhood presence through urban landscape design. The economical project required innovative reuse of available demolished materials from the building to help build a green parking garden and new courtyard. Native drought tolerant plants were used along with salvaged concrete to reinforce the message of living strong. The project has been certified LEED Gold and received the Austin Energy Green Building Program 4 Star Rating.
