Many major companies have their eyes on Austin, TX due to the casual lifestyle and aff ordable real estate. Companies from all over the nation and the world have their eyes set on this city and to transform it to become a hub for technology, software, and other related media professions.

People are fl ocking to the city because it is seen as the “land of opportunity” for the various tech industries to begin reaching their dreams. Our design, “The Incubator Hotel”, is about providing a place where people can come push and test their start-up ideas and have the chance to get investors interested in seeing the latest design/idea.

This building allows for people to rent out facilities, work space, and equipment for small teams to come work together and even stay for extended periods of time based on the project. Investors and other business can easily come visit and see what all is going on inside these “incubators” where projects and their ideas come to develop into something real.

Developed in Technical Communication, buildings are expected to have detailed construction level documents as well as critical design considerations. Structural and HVAC systems were integral and emphasized in the fi nal design schematic.
