The Loren at Ladybird Lake is a 5-star, luxury mixed-use project in Austin, Texas. Drawing inspiration from the beloved Lady Bird Lake and Hike and Bike Trail in which it's nestled, this mixed-use project features 108 luxury hotel rooms and 23 residences with a decidedly treehouse feel. As expansive windows bring the outdoors in, deep green accents materialize the site’s context. The project pairs a concrete, brutalist understructure with handcrafted materiality, sophisticated furnishings, and contemporary art.
Wood details extend through the connected restaurant and bar space, including white oak end grain floors, walnut and steel screening, Shou Sugi Ban wall panels, and bespoke walnut banquettes. The curvilinear bar ceiling references the shape of a grand piano and envelopes guests in jewel-toned banquette seating. Layered lighting and rich materials carry through the other amenities, including the pool club, fitness room, spa, and café. This resulting design language reflects architectural tenets of honesty, durability, and delight.
