Gibson Flats is a dynamic, mixed-use multifamily development located on the burgeoning urban corridor of South Lamar Boulevard. Featuring a warm material palette of corrugated metal and weathered standing seam panels, the wood framed building highlights the white steel and glass of the adjacent restaurant. The building sinuously wraps itself between five protected Live Oak trees while navigating a 40-foot fall across the site, allowing the building to marry itself to the landscape.
