The Austonian is the tallest residential building in Austin and the Western United States.
One of the primary design objectives was to create a space that supports energy and natural resource conservation. The project's environmentally-conscious design achieved a four-star rating from Austin Energy Green Building Council, which is comparable to a U.S. Green Building Council LEED Gold Rating.
The luxury condominium project selected Draper's motorized and manual flexshade®, featuring 1% and 3% openness fabrics for their optimal light and glare control and privacy.
