As we celebrate 50 years of design excellence, we’re spotlighting milestone projects that helped define our identity. JLL Plaza served as the final phase of a planned unit development that began more than 25 years earlier and emerged as a prominent gateway into downtown Austin.

The project evolved from a simple shell office into a sustainable, environmentally The eight-story, multi-tenant high-rise was planned to maximize density while creating a sense of campus within an urban setting. The first four floors provided 237 structured parking spaces, while levels five through eight delivered Class A office space.

Facing north, the glass façade—anchored by a strong masonry element—conveyed a sense of movement as people entered the Central Business District. Sustainability remained central to the design, earning the project LEED Gold® certification and the City of Austin Green Building Program’s BEST Innovation Award.
Fifty years in, projects like JLL Plaza reflected how thoughtful design evolved over time and helped make Austin more sustainable.

STG Design is proud to be participating in this year’s Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative Fellowship Program. This is a U.S. Department of State program that empowers young entrepreneurs aged 25-35 from Latin America, Canada, and the Caribbean by offering a 5–6-week program featuring professional development, U.S. business placements, and networking. This year we are pleased to welcome Bruna Tabajara Brillmann to our Austin office.

Bruna is a Brazilian architect who specializes in low-impact environmental design and co-founder of Sabiá Sustainable Constructions, an architecture and engineering company based in southern Brazil. Her work focuses on the use of natural materials and building techniques that honor local culture and ancestral knowledge, creating contemporary spaces deeply connected to place, community, and nature.

As we mark our 50 year milestone, we’re revisiting projects that reflect our legacy of thoughtful, enduring design.

STG Design was commissioned by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) to design an office building at its Dalchau Service Center campus in southeast Austin. Sited next to an active equipment yard, the 80,000 SF building drew inspiration from the raw materials and components of transmission towers and hydroelectric dams. A sandblasted tilt-up concrete exterior was paired with galvanized steel sunshades and high-performance glazing to support durability and efficiency.

Sustainability was integral to the project, including a 40,000-gallon rainwater and condenser water harvesting cistern for irrigation. The building achieved LEED Silver® and is designed to earn the ENERGY STAR® certification.

A resilient, purpose-driven workplace that supported LCRA’s mission and our firm’s commitment to lasting, place-based design.

As part of our 50 for 50 campaign, we’re highlighting a project that reflects our firm’s approach to clean, thoughtful design aligned with client culture. Our work for Austin Ventures demonstrates how architecture can support both function and identity in a corporate setting.

Located on the top floors of the 300 West Sixth Street Building, the offices were designed to complement a significant collection of contemporary art. A 28 foot barrel vaulted roof runs the length of the space, creating a strong architectural presence.

Rich wood paneling defines the central core, while simple white perimeter offices allow light and artwork to take focus. A glass stair connects the two floors, reinforcing openness and uninterrupted movement throughout the space.

The result is a refined, gallery-like environment, professional, comfortable, and reflective of Austin Ventures’ national presence in the venture capital market.

Earth Day at STG Design was all about small actions that make a big difference. This year, we spent the month celebrating and spotlighting sustainable everyday habits, like biking to work, carpooling, taking the stairs, and choosing reusable items. Simple choices, but powerful when done together.

We hosted a clothing and item swap event in our Austin office, where team members brought in pieces from their wardrobes and homes that were ready for a new chapter. The event reminded us that extending the lifecycle of what we own is a simple yet powerful way to reduce waste and give things a second life. And to round out the celebrations, we came together for a plant potting activity. The Austin office reused pots from their own homes to give new life to plants while the Nashville office painted their pots!

Our Earth Day initiatives were a gentle reminder that sustainability is not a one-time effort, but an ongoing practice rooted in everyday choices. A month full of connection, creativity, and care for the planet. Small steps, lasting impact.

As we celebrate 50 years of design excellence, we’re spotlighting milestone projects that helped define our identity. In collaboration with Pelli Clark Pelli, STG Design completed early site studies for T. Stacy Developers for a downtown Austin block between 5th and 6th Streets. What began as a smaller mixed-use concept—with retail at the ground floor and offices and condos above—evolved as adjacent parcels were acquired. The project ultimately reimagined the site as a central retail and restaurant spine, accompanied by two high-rise towers: one office and one residential/hotel.

While STG was not selected to move forward, this effort marked our first 4A high-rise pursuit—a formative step that propelled the firm into the high-rise sector and helped shape the trajectory of our work in the years to come.

Next up in our 50th Anniversary campaign, we’re spotlighting a project that reflects how thoughtful, people-centered design can nurture creativity and support growing learning communities, the art school at Laguna Gloria.

When the school’s programs began to flourish, it became clear that the existing campus needed room to evolve. Our team expanded the site with a new art studio and ceramics studio, each intentionally oriented to capture soft ambient light, the kind of natural illumination that encourages focus, creativity, and exploration.

These additions gave students and instructors purpose‑built spaces designed to elevate their craft, strengthen their community, and support programming for all ages. By responding to the school’s growth and its role in Austin’s cultural landscape, the project highlights our long‑standing commitment to designing spaces that nurture creative expression.
