Westlake Municipal
Complex
Westlake, Texas
Located in a meadow on a tree-studded
hilltop, the Westlake Muncipal Complex is a mixed-use
facility that meets the town’s needs for housing its municipal
services and providing the space for a top-quality, international
baccalaureate curriculum educational facility. The
project was designed to LEED environmental standards and employs
natural daylighting to light the town offices, classrooms and gymnasium.
Rainwater is harvested and stored on site for use in irrigation. Natural
stone, exposed structural timber and tile roofs seek to marry the
building to the natural setting and establish an architectural identity
for the town. This 53,000 sf facility sits on 23 acres.
