Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD) Lone Star Campus consists of four office buildings, three garages, and a large multipurpose center, all carefuly sited along a circulation spine. Although visible from surrounding streets, the buildings turn inward to each other on the site: the effect from the outside being that the buildings complement rather than overwhelm the natural features of the landscape.

Using locally quarried Texas limestone as a special feature, Whole Foods Market has expanded its Austin-based location to include both a retail location as well as the company’s headquarters.

Whole Foods Market, the world’s largest natural and organic foods supermarket, has opened an 80,000-square-foot landmark store and a 200,000-square-foot office tower in downtown Austin, TX. Locally quarried Antique Lueders limestone from Mezger Enterprises Ltd. of Lampasas, TX, was selected for various exterior elements, and HKS Inc., of Dallas, TX, was hired to carry out the design.

The more than 50,000 square foot Hunt Oil office building includes a multi-course pattern, modular sawn using rough back limestone. A LEEDS certified project, the Hunt Oil building features natural limestone quarried from Mezger Enterprise’s West Texas facility.

 

The 12,000 square foot Vanguard office building and Pavilion are Smith Ekblad designs and completely fabricated out of custom cut stone, from bottom ledge to eve, including the 62 hand carved keystones. Between the main building, pavilion, site work and signage, more than 7,100 cubic feet was used to complete the project. The main building and pavilion both feature Buff Lueders from Mezger Enterprise’s West Texas quarry. The pavilion was built to look like the main building and includes rusticated veneer and pilasters on its corners.
