Decommissioned in 1996, the historic Art Deco structure devolved into a derelict monolith of industry — it was Austin’s first power plant — until being completely reimagined and reinvigorated through contextual design. Today, the site flourishes with 18-hour activity. The main power plant structure functions as a modern, airy office for a major healthcare entity — and trendy restaurants and residences, a Trader Joe’s, and inviting outdoor areas at all scales draw diverse patrons daily.

Austin, TX
A prominent vestige of Austin’s municipal history, the iconic Seaholm Power Plant sat dormant as a blighted brownfield for years — and today is a pioneering model of adaptive reuse.
