This 8,800 square foot ophthalmologist office represents a culmination of simple, elegant design through the use of local, familiar materials and the need for cost efficiency. The exterior material palette of Austin gold limestone, north Texas brick and burnished block and corrugated metal panel evokes a feel of native Texas while also creating the client’s desire for a subtle suggestion of the walls of Jerusalem. This eclectic mix of themes, along with a broad selection of native landscaping and palm trees come together for an interesting street presence. Interior materials selections are polished and clean, offering a welcoming feel for patients. The plan is streamlined for operational efficiency and includes an optical shop, luxurious waiting room, patient check-in, multiple operatories and exam rooms, offices, and a spacious, well-equipped staff kitchen and break room.
