CONFLUENCE PARK

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

Confluence Park is a living learning laboratory designed to inspire people to gain a greater understanding of Texas ecotypes and the impact of urban development on our watershed.

The Park and Pavilion are an outdoor classroom venue where educators can provide hands-on environmental educational experiences. Park elements include a site-wide water catchment system, which takes advantage of the pavilions’ geometric design to collect rainwater and feed it into an underground water storage system. This reservoir is the sole source of water used in the park, with the exception of sinks and drinking fountains. The multi-purpose Education Center has a green roof providing thermal mass for passive heating and cooling. A solar array provides 100% of the energy use for the project. Located along the edge of the San Antonio River, Confluence Park is part of the country’s largest urban environmental restoration project and serves as an inviting gateway to running, biking and paddling trails.

MARINE EDUCATION CENTER at the GULF COAST RESEARCH LABORATORY

OCEAN SPRINGS, MISSISSIPPI

“All buildings eventually end up in the ocean.”

Heeding this advice from the Center’s director, the project team focused on sustainable and resilient design for the Marine Education Center at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory after the original Center was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Designed to be naturally resilient, the team sited the Center’s six new buildings tightly within the existing tree canopy, allowing the trees to serve as a natural wind buffer and the first line of defense in case of a natural disaster. The primary facility includes outdoor classrooms, laboratories, administration offices, assembly spaces, exhibition areas and a 200-foot long pedestrian suspension bridge.

It was vital for the project to demonstrate responsible water conservation and stormwater management. Steep, sloping roofs quickly shed rainwater. Rainwater is collected off the main administration building’s roof into a 3,000-gallon underground fiberglass cistern and is utilized for flushing toilets.

Natural cooling is maximized through building orientation, ventilation, trees, and other landscape solutions. A red/green light system encourages users to utilize operable windows when outdoor conditions are favorable. A solar thermal system provides hot water to the building.

The Center serves as an outreach and education facility where researchers have an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the ecologically critical bayou and marsh wetlands of coastal Mississippi.

BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK

FOSSIL DISCOVERY EXHIBIT

BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, TEXAS

The Big Bend Fossil Discovery Exhibit is an off-grid, open-air center located in the expansive Big Bend National Park. Using a combination of fossil replicas, interpretive displays and geologic diagrams, visitors develop an understanding of the correlation between the dinosaur fossils discovered in the region and the geologic formations visible from the pavilion.

Because the exhibit is unstaffed, partitions are a key design factor that create an intuitive, self-guided visitor experience. The building materials — including perforated corrugated metal in a color scheme blending with the surrounding terrain to avoid disrupting views from roadways and trails— were chosen to be durable and low-maintenance in the harsh West Texas climate.

ADAPTIVE REUSE

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS PEARL BREWERY REDEVELOPMENT

In 1883, the Pearl Brewing Company began producing its signature beer on the banks of the San Antonio River north of downtown San Antonio. The facility had grown to over 26 acres by the time the site was abandoned and put up for sale in 2001. The following year, it was purchased by a local developer who engaged an urban design team that would implement a strategy to transform the brownfield site into a 750,000 SF mixed-use village. The goal of the redevelopment was to create a sustainable live/ work experience that maintained the identity of the historic brewery while radically repurposing key parts of the compound to accommodate new uses.

The process began in 2002 with a placemaking charrette that sought to bring together developers and designers of similar projects around the country and engage them in a discussion about the potential of the site. A set of principles soon emerged that guided the implementation process that followed. The design team was charged with creating a self-sustaining village that offered a place for San Antonians to gather, visit, dine and live. All this would occur in a place where buildings were responsive to context, climate and the history of the site. Pearl would be transformational and unwavering in

its stewardship of its historic fabric, cultural resources and energy conservation. The heart and soul of Pearl is centered on extraordinary food attracting residents from all across the city. The development is animated with unique, local tenants with active users and residents interacting within thoughtfully designed interior spaces that spill outdoors onto plazas, patios and public spaces.

The key here is adaptive reuse. It’s a really strong model for inserting something new into an otherwise derelict neighborhood of abandoned buildings and turning it into something that could revitalize the neighborhood.

2013 COTE Jury

Inherent in the project’s vision is a vibrant pedestrian-oriented community that reflects the unique character and culture of San Antonio. The design of the internal infrastructure has been carefully scaled and detailed. Street widths were reduced to 24 feet with no curb to encourage pedestrian movement. To maintain the industrial character of the site, elements of the Brewhouse interior were salvaged and reused, including machinery footings which became bollards and beer vats repurposed as water cisterns.

The Pearl Brewery has acted as a catalyst for nearby urban redevelopment and neighborhood revitalization. Located two miles from downtown and two miles from residential neighborhoods established to the north, the Pearl Brewery is uniquely positioned to reconnect these disparate parts of the city. Designed to interface with the River North Plan, Pearl is the north anchor to

the plan and acts as the terminus of the San Antonio River Walk Extension. To better connect the Pearl with the city around it, the developer contributed land to the city to create a 300’ x 80’ lake with waterfalls and restored wetlands that serves as the backdrop for the Pearl Amphitheater stage.

The Pearl Brewery has become a center for the culinary arts, with 19 restaurants and cafés. The Pearl is also home to the 30,500

SF Culinary Institute of America, which includes an exclusive Latin Cuisines Kitchen with both indoor and outdoor cooking stations. In addition, a Saturday and Sunday farmers market routinely attracts up to 8,000 participants while festival events such as the annual Tamale Festival attract over 25,000 people. Committed to being the home of unique local retail and dining establishments, the Pearl Brewery is currently free of any national chain store or restaurant, which shows a commitment to preserving the unique character of its place.

Pearl features 446 apartments, 19 restaurants and cafés, 14 retailers, 18 live/work spaces, and a 2 acre park. The site is bicycle-friendly and encourages pedestrian traffic. While apartments, offices and retail spaces are all within walking distance to the Pearl’s campus and the River North extension, landscaped courtyards provide a relaxing respite from the bustle of the brewery.

Full Goods Warehouse was the first phase of the Pearl Brewery Redevelopment that ignited future development within the district. The adaptive reuse/ mixed-use building is a modern re-telling and reflection of the 1974 building’s industrial past as a brewery warehouse (filled bottles = full goods).

The original one story building was converted to two floors containing office and retail spaces connected by a series of catwalks. It serves as a model for sustainable development and is recognized for its design in water conservation, energy efficiency, materials selections and indoor environmental quality.

The buildings’ designs reflect a commitment to sustainability and are recognized for sustainable site development, water conservation, energy efficiency, material selections and indoor environmental quality.

As well as being home to one of the largest solar energy projects in Texas, the Pearl Brewery site also uses innovative low-level illumination strategies to reduce light pollution. While the entire site displays a commitment to sustainable development, three of the newly constructed or renovated projects are LEED Gold Certified, including the Full Goods Warehouse.

No potable water is used to irrigate the landscaping on site. Instead, captured rainwater is harvested from four buildings on site and distributed across the site using pipes, valves and holding tanks salvaged from the former brewery. Parking lots that slope toward planting areas reduce site run-off while bio-swales, catch basins and the use of permeable pavers further reduce run-off and improve the quality of water leaving the site.

CARRARO PLANT

KYLE, TEXAS

Located on a 40-acre river-bottom site, the house reuses the steel frame, stair rails and ventilators of a decommissioned cement plant bought for $20,000. Lake|Flato re-erected the 40’ x 80’ steel-framed building into a “Z” shape around existing Live Oak trees.

The final design broke the steel structure into three parts, and arranges them create two distinctive courtyards: an entry court and river court. The narrow, central building contains the master bedroom, library, utility, and open dog-run entry. The open three-bay structure forms the garage and farm implement building. And the third, four-bay structure contains the living room, kitchen, and floating guest bedroom within screened walls.

The living room is formed with stone serving to block the cold winter wind while capturing the cool, south-eastern breezes in the summer. These thick stone walls contrast with the metal screen and galvanized metal walls. Roof ventilators and light tubes were mounted on the roof of the living room to exhaust hot air and bring natural light in.

This creative adaptive reuse project transformed a dilapidated warehouse into a vibrant, new home and model for sustainability for this community-based non-profit organization.

Lake|Flato’s design for the renovated facility provides office space, meeting rooms, dining facilities, an in-house gymnasium, open-air courtyard, and parking for the staff of 62. Clerestory windows bring light into office space, and freestanding offices or “boxes” of wood reclaimed from the site lend a sense of natural warmth, while concrete floors allow for an environment that is both durable and versatile.

With a focus on sustainability, resiliency and health, this green building project recycled and reused 88% of the materials demolished from the existing, provided daylight to 99.35% of regularly occupied spaces and access to views to 97.3% of those spaces, and 67% water use reduction through rainwater collection for irrigation and efficient fixtures.

The existing tilt-wall building and zero-lot line site limited daylight potential from walls, so the design team incorporated a north facing saw-tooth clerestory that flooded the interior space with indirect natural light and remarkable sky views. The saw-tooth roof and clerestory is also designed to maximize solar energy harvesting in the future. Wood material salvaged from the existing roof structure was reincorporated into the open office concept in the form of break rooms, conference rooms and lounges.
