An urban lifestyle thrives on it's connection to the street, as well as the sky. The Four Seasons Residences provides stunning views from balconies that are optimized for usability.
Nestled in the heart of picturesque Mountain Village, situated amongst the aspen and spruce-covered mountains is Cassidy Ridge – luxury condominiums with expansive 270° views that will take your breath away. Taking cue from the weathered ruins of old mining operations dotting the hillsides, Cassidy Ridge evokes a modern interpretation of this historic mineshaft vernacular. The town of Mountain Village, perched 9,500 feet above the valley floor, has come into its own over the past 25 years, featuring convenient access to the slopes of Telluride Ski Resort and inviting guests to experience the best of what the Telluride region has to offer. Each of the 23 homes at Cassidy Ridge is unique, offering residents the very best finishes – from local stone to the finest granite available. The interiors bring the mountain’s finest materials and aesthetics indoors. Residents lay their feet on wood plank, 100-percent wool carpeting, honed granite or limestone flooring; prepare sumptuous meals on countertops of granite or marble and work with high-end appliances from Bosch, Wolf and GE; and let each space be defined by walls covered with the finest plaster. Each finish conjures images of the European village style for which the Mountain Village area is known. Exposed wood beams frame tongue and groove plank ceilings that further exemplify the mountain resort style.

Site developments include the construction of a new, pedestrian friendly avenue that will form the street edge of both phases and eventually become a transit hub for downtown National City.
Barton Place is a six-story multi-building condominium complex located just south of downtown Austin near Zilker Park and Barton Springs. The six condominium buildings rest on top of a 2-level of underground parking structure, containing 607 parking spaces for condominium residents and patrons of two nearby restaurants. Barton Place offers a unique lifestyle opportunity due to its park side location and the pedestrian connection across the site that links restaurant row on Barton Springs Road with the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail. The many restaurants, bars, coffee shops and parks within a comfortable walking distance make this one of the most desirable residential sites in Austin. The architecture is a modern interpretation of the local vernacular that capitalizes on 360 degree views of downtown, Town Lake, and Zilker Park. The project is clustered around an elevated plaza built on top of the parking garage that is lushly landscaped with native plants, as well as a massive, 100 foot pecan tree at the heart of the project. In keeping with the environmentally conscious local culture, the project will seek a rating with the Austin green building program, and relocate a number of outstanding trees to the nearby park.
The theme of this project is both ‘Manhattan’ as well as high impact design that is unique and distinctive as well as ‘high energy’ to create a sense of street level excitement using large format signage and dynamic graphics of LED type screens. The estimated total square footage for the project is 836,000 GSF and includes the following approximate areas: 77,800 SF Retail, 320 residential rental units or 400,000 leasable SF, and 358,200 SF of structured parking and open space (courtyard). The project is intended to be very upscale New York style and ‘brand-able’ with an underlying theme of ‘Manhattan Place’. It is anticipated that there will be 10-12 different unit types developed in the equivalent of a city block with retail at ground level and parking at ground and second level above retail. This will have a concrete frame structure with three levels of apartments above utilizing stick frame construction.
Designed in the Spanish Mission style, the Mansion Residences consists of 200,000 square feet of condominium space over 14 floors, provided in a shell condition for finish out by individual unit owners. Each floor of the tower can be utilized as one unit, or demised into two units. BOKA Powell provided complete architectural design, production and coordination for the project, working closely with Rosewood Property Company, the Dallas Historic Landmark Commission and the Oak Lawn Neighborhood Association in developing a building design that would compliment the existing Mansion Restaurant and surrounding neighborhood. The building incorporates two levels of secured below grade parking, with a valet station and extensive security monitoring for ease of accessibility and safety. A connecting link to the hotel and restaurant provides direct access to services from those facilities, and incorporates a health club and beauty salon. Within the tower itself, an innovative 16” raised floor system is utilized throughout for the routing of all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems within each unit, without disruption to units above or below. Kitchen and bath facilities can be located virtu-ally anywhere on a floor, allowing for maximum planning flexibility. A moisture detection system is incorporated below all raised floor areas to allow for the quick location and repair of leaks. The tower is designed to minimize noise infiltration between units, as well as from operations from nearby Love Field Airport , through the use of a post tensioned concrete frame, acoustically insulated glazing and insulated concrete masonry unit wall construction.
This condominium development sits on a 4-acre waterfront site located along Town Lake with spectacular views of downtown Austin. Four contemporary-styled buildings ranging from six to twelve stories are clustered around a lushly landscaped courtyard and pool deck.

The 370,000 square feet of construction includes 200 condominium units, a fitness center and street-level retail. The project will be designed to be a model “green” development, incorporating numerous sustainable design strategies.

Primed in the ashes of aged ideas and modern amenities, Palazzos is the resurrection of old and the start of something new. Affixed on somewhat of an acropolis, V is born of traditional palazzos architecture twisted to find a place in a new world. Family values of old such as the Medici and the like where power and prestige paved the way for free thinkers and great artist who canvassed the earth in precision masterpieces that still resonate of Renaissance past, we here have molded a vision of that time. We aim to capture the essence of that past; bringing a taste of Tuscany to a frontier that only the privileged few will get to indulge. The five buildings will encompass 13-units with the first two floors stacking and the third of three uniquely grand 3-bedroom layouts. Ranging from 1,650 s.f. to 2,350 s.f. the eight floor plans offer a variety of style and comfort in which to choose. Each building will have a central courtyard and amenities unique to itself to add character and set the stage for different pleasurable choices. The central most building will include a tower that spirals from the top of one of the third floor units making it the grandest of all. This tower will be seen far in the distance as a symbol of prosperity and solidifying the foundation of an old Tuscan vision in a new era.
