KE Andrews

Rockwall, Texas

KE Andrews engaged BOKA Powell to design a next-generation headquarters office building for the 40-year-old family-owned tax advisory firm. BOKA Powell assisted with the master planning and zoning-change process prior to initiating design activity for the 80,000 square-foot headquarters, located along Ridge Road in Rockwall, Texas.

The Texas Modern-style building rises four stories on a dramatically sloping, heavily wooded site, which overlooks Lake Ray Hubbard and drops 40 feet from the road to the center of the site. Terraces at each level provide unobstructed views of the lake. A large south-facing glass atrium lobby fronts on Ridge Road, welcoming clients and visitors. The ground level, partially embedded in the slope and spanning roughly 20,000 square feet, is a communal break room for the company’s staff. Outside, in keeping with the company’s commitment to sports and an outdoor lifestyle, an archery setup and other activities are available for a competitive break from work.

KE Andrews recently won the CoreNet Corporate Real Estate Award for Workplace Strategy, New Construction Build to Suit -- 2023.
