Meals on Wheels and More
3227, East 5th Street, Austin, TX, United States
Meals on Wheels And More. Austin, Texas New Office Building.
Meals on Wheels and More is a nonprofit organization that
provides meals to the elderly and the homebound, in Austin and its surrounding
areas.
Meals and Wheels has registered growth in their organization
that has conducted them to build an expansion to their administration building,
as well as added kitchen capacity to provide the community with the production
of over 5000 meals per day and more in the future.
Meals on Wheels owned a plot of land adjacent to their
current facility in East Austin, which was an investment done with a view of
expansion in the future.
The program requirements called for a design proposal to
erect a new building adjacent to the existing and connecting both buildings together.
The architect selected for the project, Alderman Paccone
Bishop, met with the Meals on Wheels Board, and proposed a non traditional
approach to designing an affordable structure for their new office facility.
The main parameter of design for the entire project was cost
control. The client, Meals on Wheels is a nonprofit that requires Federal,
State, local funding, as well as donations, so to keep the project within
budget the architect decided to use a prefabricated metal building as starting
point.
Project designer William Webb AIA Architect created a connecting hallway
that serves two purposes, allows for communication between two buildings, and
creates a new building elevation to the existing building, updating the front
street elevation of the deteriorated existing
metal building.
The new building consists of a two story structure, with
parking on ground floor and offices in the first floor. The total new built
area is approximately 50,000 square feet.
The building program called for both open office area for
supporting staff and private enclosed offices for executives.
The driving concept for the interior of the office space was
to provide the maximum amount of natural daylight to all possible spaces; this
is reached with a continuous clerestory that spans the length of the building.
This premise follows the wellbeing for users that is often sought out on green
buildings and sustainable design, this design element complies with the
stringent LEED and Green Building standards for construction.
The new building façade wraps around the existing building,
creating the illusion of one continuous building. The main elevation of the
building is a combined response to program requirements, day lighting, and
Austin’s Subchapter E design standards.
The street features have an informal gathering area, with a
layout of concrete blocks where people can sit, take a break, have lunch, read
a book. We gave them a small private urban park-like setting.
An elegant and contemporary look using traditional metal
building materials, and a few accents with concrete, wood, stucco and a bold
use of color bring the design of this new building to the updated look that
this organization has for the future.
The
project is located in East Austin, and area of the City that has seen a boom in
contemporary mixed use projects.
