The University of Texas at Austin Gary L. Thomas Energy Engineering Building

Located on the northwest side of the UT Austin Campus, the Gary L. Thomas Energy Engineering Building (GLT) helps the Cockrell School of Engineering establish a new multidisciplinary approach to the energy sciences. Together with the Engineering Education and Research Center (EERC), the GLT activates the edge of campus and creates a true hub and […]

Alta Community Center Feasibility Study

Before developing any design schemes, it was imperative to craft an engagement process that allowed the design team opportunities to listen, learn, and respond to the Alta community. This process familiarized the design team with the site, its context, its unique challenges and opportunities, and allowed them to better understand the people who would be […]

Arizona State University, Beus Center for Law and Society

https://player.vimeo.com/video/179200557?autoplay=0&loop=0&byline=0&title=0&portrait=0 Because we make buildings that act as agents of institutional change, our ASU building will reposition the law school as a public building and as a conduit for connecting the school’s progressive legal scholarship with the public. This is where the law hits the street. Tomas Rossant, Design Partner The building is designed as […]

Stanford University, Denning House

We thought of Denning House like a treehouse, a special retreat hidden away in the trees, but actually very much at the center of campus, and campus life. Richard Olcott, Design Partner Denning House is a gathering place at the center of campus, a hub for the scholars of the Knight Hennessy program. At the […]

The University of Texas at Austin, McCombs School of Business, Robert B. Rowling Hall

Business school education has evolved rapidly and much has changed, yet much remains the same. While the design of Rowling Hall at the McCombs School anticipates and welcomes a more actively diverse curriculum and student body base, it also recognizes the stability of and continued need for business networks. These networks both progressively and historically […]

Stanford Law School, William H. Neukom Building

The most important space in the building isn’t in the building at all: it’s the garden courtyard, a space for study, gathering, contemplation or relaxation, a common space in the tradition of the memorable historic quads of Stanford. It is literally the heart of the design, a space that is distinctly Stanford. Richard Olcott, Design […]

Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact at University of Oregon

https://player.vimeo.com/video/569420874?autoplay=0&loop=0&byline=0&title=0&portrait=0 We set out to design a campus around the very interdisciplinary ideals that have helped drive the University of Oregon’s success. This design beautifully illustrates that identity by not only reflecting the university’s past, but by illuminating a future of inspiring science. Todd Schliemann, Design Partner The design features two L-shaped towers that face […]

Apple Scottsdale Fashion Square

Arizona’s harsh desert environment called for significant shading of Apple’s iconic glazing system. The interior ceiling acts as an exterior shading device, blurring the distinction between indoors and outdoors, while keeping the consumer visually connected to the world outside. Engineered to cantilever a remarkable distance from the building façade, the sunshade reveals a structural slenderness. […]

Stanford University, Bing Concert Hall

The design of Bing Concert Hall was imagined from the beginning as a “clearing in the woods” – a place apart, at some remove from the hubbub of the main campus, a place to be discovered, a place to come together. Richard Olcott, Design Partner A beacon above the trees, the concert hall drum draws […]
