Creating an extension of downtown Austin’s lively 2nd Street District, this 34-story multi-use tower brings a hotel, condo tower, restaurant, cafe, bar & lounge to a site formerly utilized as a large water detention zone. The landscape design grounds this development within its diverse context, proposing a restaurant deck enveloped by native planting that engages the recently restored Shoal Creek, and a series of outdoor rooms along 2nd Street that extend the interior program into the realm of the vibrant urban street life. These transitional spaces integrate standard streetscape elements and materials with unique paving and plant materials that reflect the refined, yet eclectic, spirit of Austin Proper. Two roof terraces - one offering a restaurant, bar and pool for hotel guests and another providing a pool and outdoor kitchen for the condo tower - provide vital outdoor social and gathering spaces that allow visitors and Austinites alike to enjoy the experience of downtown with views to the hill country beyond.
