1221 Broadway

San Antonio, TX

Lake|Flato transformed 1221 Broadway into a unique oasis with an urbane street presence. The old apartments were re-skinned, and their windows enlarged to allow in more natural light. The ground floor exterior now accommodates office and retail space on Broadway Street, while five interior courtyards link urban living with nature, providing forums for outdoor activity. In collaboration with LPA Design Studios.

Taking a project that had really failed, never been completed and finding an opportunities to make it a really vital, exciting urban place. We liked the diversity in the way that these circulation spines were exposed so you saw the activity and life of the building.
