2121 S. Lamar is a complete renovation of a 1980’s era two story office building. We partially raised the roof to match the tallest gable in order to simplify the overall form. This allowed for loftier interior spaces. The exterior is clad in thermally modified ash wood and brings warmth to the restrained materials palette of blackened steel wall panels and perforated steel guardrail. The thick battens give order to the facades by providing a system for organizing fenestration. The new second floor balcony takes advantage of the three large heritage Live Oak trees and offers a serene setting for its tenants.
