AUSTIN ENERGY | AUSTIN, TX The four-story, 275,000-sf Austin Energy Headquarters will accommodate 900-1,000 employees. The design incorporates a holistic approach to user wellness throughout the building by maximizing connections to the outdoor environment, daylight, and social interaction. The courtyard was designed for activity with a variety of scaled spaces to attract gatherings of all sizes and needs. A shaded terrace at the second level opens to the street capturing wind patterns to cool the courtyard during hot summer months. Indoor gathering space including lounges, break rooms and conference rooms form into three ‘social tubes’ that carve into the building massing at different levels, connecting by the feature stairs to improve interaction and wellness at the same time. This project is designed to hit three metrics: LEED Platinum, Austin Energy Green Building’s Five Star rating, and WELL Building Certifications. The project construction was completed in 2021. Role: Led exterior design efforts from pursuit and concept setup to material selection, detailing and coordination

NASHVILLE YARDS | NASHVILLE, TN Nashville Yards is a new four-acre, mixed-use entertainment district near the heart of downtown Nashville. The project will be anchored by a 4,000-patron music venue, a luxury cinema complex, a 700-patron live entertainment club, and a 240-room boutique hotel. The design concept draws inspirations from the site’s history- it was once a hub for commerce, encompassing the city’s brick, lumber, and rail yards. This project will act as a bridge to connect the past and future, by inheriting historic elements and turning them into a contemporary design. Role: In charge of hotel concept design and space planning; co-led design efforts on site and music venue; led visualization production
