Next Door Creative Offices provides offices for Pollen Architecture and studio work space for artists and creative professionals with features inspired by repurposed industrial loft buildings; high ceilings, abundant natural light and sturdy materials. The scale of the buildings is in keeping with residential neighborhood in Central Austin where it is situated. The buildings wrap the perimeter of the block, enclosing a network of rain gardens on the interior.  Site-cast concrete panels with a custom pattern of vertical lines anchor the buildings at the ground level, while metal box rib on the upper floors gives a feeling of lightness.
