Austin River Park

Venues by nature are a protective shell. Drawing inspiration from Texas state’s small mammal, the project features forms and textures that mimic the bony armor of an armadillo. 

This mid-size, indoor entertainment venue anchors the first phase of development within River Park, a 109-acre mixed-use campus in southeast Austin, Texas. The venue unfolds to a lively outdoor plaza with public seating, shade structures, and future retail spaces, creating a dynamic extension to the building and lively connections to the larger River Park development.

Filling a needed size gap in Austin's venue offerings, the 4,000-capacity indoor room will feature state of the art acoustics and lighting.
