The challenge: design a multi-family residential building right on the outskirts of downtown Austin, TX. The constraint: using only half of the land surface, so the other half could remain a public park. The result: a bold yet harmonious building, with a central courtyard and glass roof, open at its peak and sides, inviting natural airflow and creating a peaceful environment.

Houston Energy Corridor: The Energy Plaza

Fall 2025

Dr. Livia Loureiro

Team: Maddison Ethridge, Marium Khan, Christopher Thompson

The Energy Plaza is a development within Houston’s Energy Corridor, enhancing the area with a balanced mix of residential, civic, and recreational spaces. The project includes a combination of high-rise and low-rise apartments, a central public park, and a vibrant civic center, creating a dynamic community hub. Designed to complement the existing fabric of the Energy Corridor, The Energy Plaza introduces much-needed green and gathering space, providing both residents and visitors with a place to connect, live, and thrive.

When compared to the images rendered intentionally, the process becomes more clear. The intention was to mimic a natural environment in each seting, capitalizing on unique incoporations of daylighting.
