2121 South Lamar is a complete renovation of
a 1980s two-story office building that reconfigures the space to accommodate future tenants.
To match the tallest gable and simplify the overall
form, the roof was partially raised, allowing for
loftier interior spaces. The exterior is clad in thermally modioed ash wood that brings warmth to
the materials palette of blackened steel wall panels
and perforated steel guardrail. A new second-noor
balcony ofers a serene setting beneath the shade
of the site9s heritage live oak trees. The main entry
to the second noor integrates oak noors and stairs
with white oak paneling that takes its cues from the
exterior board and batten installation. At the top of
the stairs is an oïce lobby with built-in upholstered
seating and a small amenities bar.
