Austin?s City Hall?s an attention-getter, due not only to its overall sharp, angular design (by lead architect Antoine Predock and local partners Cotera + Reed Architects), but to unique features like a sharp, triangular "armadillo tail" platform protruding from its façade. And massive Leuders limestone walls, terraces, and footbridges echo the region's hilly terrain.
The design also features copper panels -- including specialty metal ceilings from Hunter Douglas Contract -- that reference the city's landmark Austin 360 Bridge, as well as connoting the hot Texas sun. In the stunning four-story main lobby, metal ceilings from Hunter Douglas Contract help reflect light into the space from a skylight. The reflected light illuminates the limestone pedestrian crosswalks that span the space on each building level.
