University House

Austin, TX  |  2017 19 stories |  232,000 sf  |  188 units  |  502 beds | LEED Silver Scope: Architecture

University House is a high-rise student housing in the West Campus area of Austin, Texas, one block west of the University of Texas' main campus. This project was delivered on time and under budget for Fall 2016 occupancy. Inspiration for the exterior was found in the building’s programmatic requirements for two-story townhomes and exterior balconies at only seven of the dwelling units. Translucent, lightweight balcony boxes are articulately organized and cantilevered from the east-facing façade, overlooking campus.
