Towers of Lakeway






PROJECT LOCATION: Lakeway, Texas
CLIENT: Towers of Lakeway, LLC
DOC: In Progress

DESCRIPTION:
The Towers of Lakeway Office Building is a new 30,000 square foot low rise built on a hilltop overlooking the City of Lakeway. The developer and his family own an adjacent office building completed a decade earlier. This is the third project we have worked on for this client. This project represents the second of a three-phase development. The primary tenants are Keller Williams Realty and Gracy Title Company. Our firm is completing the interiors for both corporate offices.

Site development permits were in place prior to our involvement in the project. The site includes 15,000 square feet of underground parking below the two leasable floor plates, as well as surface parking. Budget was a major determinant and challenged our use of simplicity of design form and incorporation of humble materials used in a creative manner. The prominent exterior stair towers are treated as three story arbors enclosed using structural green screen that enables vines to grown offering shade, cooling and physiological security. The roof is designed for rainwater collection with a minimum of five-foot overhangs. A large louvered monitor indicates the elevator’s location. The primary finishes include concrete block with integral color from a local manufacturer, cementious stucco with integral color and Low-E glass. The project is scheduled for completion in Spring 2008.
