Westview

Austin, TX

Originally constructed in 1950 as the home of the Texas State Teachers Association, this limestone structure evolved over three substantial building constructions. The renovation responds to the rigorous geometric fenestration of the original.
The Vision

The project improves the building envelope and infrastructure to certified LEED Gold and takes greater advantage of views and natural light, while retaining the original character.
