THE YARD / Austin, TX

The Yard is an 11-acre adaptive re-use project in south Austin, part of the St Elmo Warehouse District.  

The warehouse complex was converted from an industrial use typology into a creative hub for makers, creatives, and entrepreneurs seeking like-minded community. Our scope involved masterplanning exterior gathering spaces, along with pedestrian and vehicular thoroughfares, parking, landscape buffers, signage, trash collection, and exterior lighting. We also developed tenant standards for exterior renovations to the existing warehouses.

The complex has become home to a winery, Austin’s first licensed whiskey still, craft brewery, steel fabricators, art gallery, coffee shop, yoga studio, and a 3d printing construction company.
