Austin’s Seaholm Intake Building Hasn’t Looked This Clean in Decades

James Rambin April 29, 2022 Comment

The long-awaited rehabilitation of the Seaholm Power Plant’s former intake structure on the shores of Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin should complete its first phase early this summer, and if you’ve spent any time around the lake in the last few weeks you might have already noticed that this 1950s Art Deco landmark has received a heck of a good…

The Long-Awaited Seaholm Waterfront Project Starts Up Its First Phase

James Rambin September 17, 2021 Comment

We’re huge fans of the plan by the City of Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department to rehab the historic 1950s Art Deco-style facility on Lady Bird Lake formerly used as the pump house of the adjacent Seaholm Power Plant into a new downtown public space — and unlike the fate of many plans we like, after waiting more than 10 years we’re happy to report…

James Rambin May 27, 2021 Comment

A Bigger H-E-B Won’t Fix Hancock Center, but It’s Not a Bad Start

James Rambin January 14, 2021 Comment

We usually have a good time ragging on the outdated urban planning principles of the later 20th century — urban renewal, highways everywhere, other weirdness — so it’s a little embarrassing to admit that Hancock Center, the 34-acre strip mall you know and love(?) at East 41st and Red River Streets, was a more pleasantly-designed environment for human beings between its…

The Seaholm Waterfront’s First Phase Is Ready to Roll on Lady Bird Lake

James Rambin June 26, 2020 Comment

It’s not like we haven’t had plenty of other important things to think about lately, but over the last few months our minds have wandered once again to the status of the Seaholm Waterfront, the long-awaited adaptive reuse project by the Austin Parks and Recreation Department, the Trail Foundation, the Austin Parks Foundation, and local architecture firm…
