The Eyes of Texas
I visited today with Overland Partners, San Antonio, and learned more about their “values” approach to designing green buildings.
Firms such as Overland Partners are growing at a measured pace by stressing a “values” approach to designing green buildings, looking to marry the sustainability aspects of their projects with good old-fashioned architecture. Two areas of special focus include the experience of people visiting and working in their spaces, and their efforts to enhance the business and public success of their clients, largely government, cultural, higher education and institutional clients. Overland’s experience shows the value of a design firm clearly standing for some important values, and having the clients you really want, find you. Their “classic” project is the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. As a Tucsonan now, I’m looking forward to their current work on the “Tucson Origins” project in the city’s “Rio Nuevo” cultural zone.
