The Backyard is a multi-site masterplan, conceived as a creative campus where advanced technology, contemporary workplaces, entertainment, and live music coexist within a natural Hill Country setting. The project brings together work and culture in a landscape-driven environment, positioning architecture as both infrastructure and experience. From its earliest planning, the campus was envisioned as a model for a new kind of mixed-use development that balances intensity with openness and innovation with restraint.
The Backyard Offices extend this ethos into the workplace itself. Long, slender floor plates follow the contours of the land to maximize daylight, views, and connection to the surrounding landscape. A range of working environments is layered within an efficient structural framework, supporting both focus and collaboration. Even the parking structures are integrated into the architectural experience, with conditioned spaces woven into the garage and direct, shaded access to offices. Together, the buildings operate as a cohesive campus where landscape, infrastructure, and architecture reinforce one another.
