At a height of 683 feet, the 56 story, 178 unit building occupies only one-third of a city block.  The design team sensitively integrated the storefront of the Brown-Dumas blacksmith shop, an early 20th century building, along the 2nd street facade of the building. Noteworthy for its adherence to Austin’s corridor setback requirements, the Austonian’s elliptical-shaped floor plate preserves the view of the Texas state capitol and offers sweeping views of the surrounding Hill Country.

The clients inspiring vision for the Austonian was to design a signature building that would be synonymous with green living and offer an unparalleled array of amenities that would make residents proud to call the Austonian their home.  The modern 21st century high rise building became the first downtown condominium to earn Austin Energy’s four-star Green Building rating, equivalent to LEED Gold. The protection and conservation of resources were key priorities for the design and development team, who kept their commitment to invest in green building and sustainable design.

Katrine Formby, our friend and owner of the Telluride condos we photographed recently sent this wonderful comment about the work we did for her.

“My husband and I flew Thomas up to Telluride to photograph our downtown remodels. It was so worth bringing him all the way from Austin because the photos (as you can see) were spectacular. Originally we were planning to use these photos only for our website since we rent out our units when we are not able to use them, but after the photo shoot, we realized that Thomas’s work was so good that we thought we would take a chance at submitting them to some interior design magazines.

Eight magazines decided to publish Thomas’s work. We were stunned. I know this would not have happened had it not been for the quality of the photos. In addition to getting excellent results, Thomas was a joy to work with–ok, maybe he was a little too detailed oriented (my initial thought) but the proof is in the pictures–he is a professional and an artist and he was right about being detail oriented!”
