East 11ᵗʰ
1111 East 11ᵗʰ is a three-story mixed-use project in the revitalized 11ᵗʰ Street Corridor of Austin, Texas. The ground floor is divided between an art gallery and boutique retail outlet, the second floor is reserved for office tenants with residential spaces occupying the top floor. The shifting floor plates align with area landmarks such as the Texas State Capitol and the UT Austin Tower. The form emulates the exfoliation dome of the central Texas landscape: Enchanted Rock, Texas's Uluru.
The resultant space is a series of unexpected terraces and canopies drawing one outdoors. The cantilevered second floor provides a respite of shade from the intense Texas sun at the entry. The floor plates step back at the rear of the structure allowing it to mediate between the commercial scale of the front and the residential in the back.
