Austin, Texas
The Sustainable Hotel Concept concept developed by BOKA Powell as part of invited design competition sought to leverage the high visibility and active street life of downtown Austin, Texas. Designed to ultimately be LEED Silver, the concept contained 250 keys, a signature restaurant, specialty retail, spa, lobby bar, and rooftop bar. The program elements included use of solar power, green roof decks, unobtrusive parking with major on-site components, and careful consideration of view orientation from guestrooms to adjacent structures.
