The Office For Local Architecture teamed up with Gensler Architects, the Endeavor Real Estate Group, Design Workshop Landscape Architects, and Austin Energy Green Building to coordinate a retail & residential development that embody environmentally conscious planning.
Rock Rose Avenue at The Domain Northside is a pedestrian-oriented live, work, play development located in burgeoning North Austin. As part of a larger overall neighborhood plan, these five single story buildings and a five-level parking garage all incorporate sustainability goals through achieving an AEGB rating. Local restaurant and retail businesses make up a majority of the streetscape which amplifies the Austin economy while supporting regional artists and entrepreneurs.
Resource savings were considered early in the planning phase. The developer waited to pour slabs until tenant finish out so that removal of materials during customization was minimized. Over 50% of building materials were sourced in Texas, reducing emissions through less miles driven to transport materials, improving lead times and contributing to the local economy. Additionally, over 38% by cost of building materials consist of post-consumer recycled materials.
Centrally-located covered parking, electric vehicle charging stations, bike racks, a bike repair station, easy access to public transportation and traffic calming features decrease patrons’ dependence on single vehicle transport at the Domain while making the walking environment safer.
Plentiful open space coupled with native plants encourages visitors to enjoy outdoor activities. Large canopies over the primary façade offer both exterior and interior comfort. Durable building materials of brick, stone and stucco create human scale and texture. The parking structure provides additional protection from the elements and its high albedo concrete construction instead of typical asphalt lots also reduces the urban heat island effect.
