LEADERSHIP IN URBAN DESIGN & PLANNING

Established in 1984, Lake|Flato designs buildings, neighborhoods and urban districts that respond to the culture and climate each unique place. In collaboration with our clients, we create designs that are tactile and modern, environmentally responsible and authentic, artful and crafted.

With a dedicated urban design and planning studio, Lake|Flato carefully studies environmental, cultural, and urban contexts to create walkable, human-scaled urban districts. The rigor of the firm’s place-based analysis ensures the soul and character of a setting, and the voices of its inhabitants, are revealed and upheld over time. By exploring the intimate relationships between community, place, environment, and historical contexts, we create unique environments that possess a compelling authenticity and beauty.

Design Excellence

Lake|Flato is a firm recognized for creating impactful and sustainable environments with landscapes that elevate human connections with both the community and natural environment. Our vision for creating environments that enrich and nurture life has resulted in a practice committed to inspirational, place-based architecture that understands and celebrates the imperatives of your guiding principles to:

• Strengthen public life

• Celebrate local cultures and place

• Elevate standards of sustainability and resilience

• Build regional capacity

Our team has unparalleled experience in creating vibrant mixed-use environments. Our commitment to partnerships with city and community leaders are showcased in many of our projects such as the redevelopment of the Pearl District in San Antonio and the heart of Austin that is the South Congress District. These partnerships have resulted in Urban environments that catalyze economic development, inspire civic pride, and celebrate the rich culture and history of Place. Through our projects, we frequently partner with non-profit organizations, nascent companies and emerging artists to celebrate and support local talent, both as clients and fellow practitioners.

Since Lake|Flato’s inception 40 years ago, environmental concerns have been integral to our design approach and process. We are national leaders in highperformance design of buildings and landscapes and environmental stewardship. We endeavor to integrate sustainability initiatives across three scales of a project: individuals in the spaces, whole building and shared spaces, and the broader context of the site. Our designs promote human health and wellness, climate change awareness and resiliency. Connecting people to the natural environment is a core value that makes our buildings feel human, and only in doing so, can a building become a place where people truly love to work, live and play.

PEARL BREWERY REDEVELOPMENT

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

A 2017-2018 recipient of the ULI Global Award of Excellence, the Pearl Brewery Development is a transformational adaptive reuse of a 1900s brewery into a self-sufficient, mixed-use “village” housing new residents, non-profits and local businesses while emphasizing community, conservation and local economic development.

Lake|Flato created a master, multi-phase development plan to repurpose existing buildings and transform the site into a vibrant development. Renovations express the building’s industrial history by reusing beer storage tanks and replacing old garage doors with large, metalframed windows. The 26-acre site features Hotel Emma, a 146-key boutique hotel built inside the original brew house and cellar buildings, 18 restaurants and bars, an amphitheater overlooking the Riverwalk, residential space, commercial office use and banquet space. The Pearl is also home to the Culinary Institute of America, which includes an exclusive Latin Cuisines Kitchen with both indoor and outdoor cooking stations.

This visionary development created a dynamic, pedestrian-oriented urban district that reflects the unique character and culture of San Antonio while revitalizing this landmark destination. client/developer

HOLDSWORTH CENTER

AUSTIN, TEXAS

Envisioned as a timeless destination that emphasizes a sense of community, the Holdsworth Center was designed as a retreat for public educators that promotes reflection, thought and dialogue. As a new resource for world class training and leadership development for Texas’ public educators, the campus was designed to thoughtfully connect users to the native landscape and neighboring Lake Austin.

Upon arrival, parking is sited towards the main entry to encourage visitors to walk through the campus’ various trails, which weave through the buildings and central commons. Building views are oriented towards the lake, and common outdoor spaces including courtyards, event lawns and an amphitheater encourage users to immerse themselves in the surrounding landscape. Deep overhangs and shaded porches throughout the campus are reminiscent of traditional Texas lake houses, and the use of natural materials, such as wood and limestone, were selected to achieve a timeless design that responds to the context of its place.

We were recognized by ARCHITECT Magazine as the top firm overall in the 2019 ARCHITECT 50, the American Institute of Architects honored us with its prestigious Firm of the Year Award in 2004, and Lake|Flato was the first architecture firm to earn a Texas Medal of Arts in 2009. Fifteen Lake|Flato projects have received the national AIA Committee on the Environment Top Ten Award, the highest recognition for sustainable design. Fast Company recently named us one of the “Ten Most Innovative Architecture Firms in the World” and the LOCUS Foundation honored Lake|Flato with a Global Award for Sustainable Architecture, recognizing our architectural approach to addressing the needs of society. As architects, teachers, environmental stewards and community advocates, we strive to elevate the public’s appreciation of architecture and foster the education of the next generation of architects.

LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Lake|Flato believes that architecture and sustainability are inseparable, and that buildings should be beautiful and affordable while promoting healthy living. With these goals in mind, we help our clients understand the necessity and attainability of a sustainable approach to design. Since the firm’s inception close to 40 years ago, environmental concerns have been integral to our design approach.

INCLUSIVE COLLABORATION

A key driver for advancing sustainable design, environmental resiliency and social equity outcomes is our integrated design process. This generative process creates meaning and momentum at the very start of a project, driving results that have led to various design performance milestones including Lake|Flato receiving 15 AIA COTE Top Ten awards, more than any other architecture firm. These award-winning projects are located across the country and include various projects, from naturebased education centers to large-scale civic and urban transformation s.

DESIGN INNOVATION

Lake|Flato is constantly seeking new and innovative ways to advance building and human performance. The design of the 3D-printed House Zero, for instance, pushes the boundaries of traditional home building methods – revealing innovative ways to provide shelter in the wasteprone home building industry. Another instance of Lake|Flato applying new and evolving technology to elevate sustainable design is the firm’s expertise with mass timber. With more than 15 mass timber projects in progress or completed, Lake|Flato’s commitment to mass timber construction is a carbon-fighting strategy that celebrates the timeless qualities of beauty, nature, and craft.

EQUITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

The clients and communities we serve are some of the most progressive and diverse in the industry. We expect no less of ourselves as we strive to create an inclusive atmosphere in our practice and in our collaborations. Attaining rigorous B Corp certification and participating in the International Living Future Institute’s JUST program is an extension of our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. Both programs provide transparent, internationally recognized frameworks for assessing and improving how we operate through an equity lens. By holding ourselves accountable to these high standards of verification and transparency, we aspire to serve as a model for other firms.

RECOGNITION

Lake|Flato has been recognized with more than 300 international, national and regional awards and featured in over 100 books and 250 publications.
