Alterstudio Architecture LLP of Austin, Texas focuses its
attention on the relationship between the material facts of architecture
and the social occasions it shelters and invites.  The work is rooted
in deep-seated virtues of architecture – generous space making, shrewd
manipulation of day lighting, and meticulous attention to detail. The
heightening of direct human experience and the framing of the complex
circumstances of their situations are at the core of each project. 

Our commitment to enhance and protect both the cultural and natural
environments of the communities we serve is evident in the technical
craftsmanship of our designs and in the long-term sustainability of our
projects.  We view the creation of ecologically responsive design as a
core value in our office.  We promote an ecological approach that
acknowledges the impact of finite resources as a positive contributor in
the creation of an ethical architecture.  It compels, informs and
guides our choices and recommendations during project development
strategies, programming, product selection, detailing, specification of
materials and contractor selection.  Our approach to sustainable design
goes beyond logistical and mechanical elements, to create an
architecture that is uplifting to its users and in harmony with its
cultural context and natural surroundings.

Widely recognized for their compelling designs and meticulous attention to detail, Alterstudio Architecture has
won more than 75 design awards and has been regularly published
regionally, nationally and internationally. The office relies on the
talent of its three partners and six staff members.
