This studio was built as a learning laboratory and demonstration of sustainable building strategies. The studio focuses on a net-zero approach, featuring an extensive green roof, photo-voltaic system, and rainwater harvesting, which resulted in a LEED Platinum and 5-Star Austin Energy Green Building rating.. The main studio contains office space, a kitchen, bath, and storage, while the ‘silo’ serves as a space for meetings, a library, and a second-floor private perch. Natural light floods these spaces through recycled windows and also allows for natural ventilation on beautiful days. This is our think tank, library, and living machine.
