A three story architecture project of a multi-use building in Austin, Texas have been completed by Bercy Chen Studio. Dubbed as East 11th Street building, the ground floor is divided between a musical instrument shop and boutique retail outlet, while the second floor is reserved for office tenants, with residential spaces on the top floor.

The result is a series of unexpected terraces and canopies that engage the outdoors. Each level has multiple non-orthogonal balconies; vines cascade from these spaces down the facades. The cantilevered second floor provides a respite of shade from the intense Texas sun at the entry.

The floor plates step back at the rear of the structure to mediate between the commercial scale of the front and the residential in the back.
