Lake Flato Multi-Family

MULTI-FAMILY

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 1221 BROADWAY

1221 Broadway is a catalytic housing development that created 307 new apartments in a derelict, abandoned area near downtown San Antonio. For a decade, the vacant concrete shell occupied a site at the convergence of two interstates in downtown San Antonio. To create a compelling living destination, the design focused on re-purposing this concrete ruin as a thriving place, creating a new urban “living room.” Interior spaces spill outdoors into equally compelling plazas, rooftop gathering amenities, patios, and public spaces allowing tenants to foster community and take advantage of long seasons of moderate weather. Retail and restaurant spaces at street level also provide a variety of options to engage building occupants and the surrounding urban community. In association with OCO Architects.

Taking a project that had really failed, never been completed and finding an opportunities to make it a really vital exciting urban place. We liked the diversity in the way that these circulation spines were exposed so you saw the activity and life of the building. It created more of a life for this community.

AIA San Antonio Design Jury

The connection to the five courtyards and to the outdoors creates both a unique oasis and urbane street presence. These courtyards link urban living with nature and provide outdoor activity and gathering spaces. All circulation is outdoors on single-loaded cantilevered walkways linked by bridges over Avenue B and alleys to the garage. This project was as much about subtraction as it was about adaptive reuse: where to cut holes in the concrete frame and where not to fill in voids to create unique courtyards.

The success of this project in a long-vacated warehouse district has revitalized the City and proven the viability of urban housing. Completed in 2010, now 3,500 residents live nearby in eight housing projects along the San Antonio Riverwalk.

AMLI MUELLER TOWER

AUSTIN, TEXAS

The site is located at the iconic Mueller tower site with bounding streets: Aldrich Street, Robert Browning Street, Philomena Street, and Mueller Boulevard. The tract is 4.9 acres. The site is broken into two multi-family buildings. The East Building is the primary pedestrian frontage. The West Building, which fronts Mueller Boulevard, is the primary vehicular frontage. The northern frontage faces Philomena Street and connects to the bike and running trail running east and west. The southern frontage faces Robert Browning Street and is the primary service street for the project. The East and West Buildings are separated with a pedestrianonly circulation paseo that allows tenants and day visitors to traverse mid-block. The paseo also helps break down the scale of the block and supports better walkability.

The Aldrich Street pedestrian experience is broken up with a series of off-street courtyards that allow commercial exterior seating and street activation. The ground floor along Mueller Boulevard includes an AMLI Lobby on the northwest corner and live-work units. The goal is to create a series of smaller buildings that are human-scale, creating a development that is timeless and urban.
