The Muze a student housing high rise in the West Campus neighborhood two blocks west of the University of Texas' main campus. This project delivered ahead of schedule and under budget for Fall 2019 occupancy. Muze pre­leased at 100% with 6% above proforma rent growth and sold two months after opening its doors. Its superior location and extensive luxury amenities provide an unparalleled option for University of Texas at Austin students.

The building massing, formed by a rectangular tower set upon a low plinth that functions as a parking garage, is organized around a central core with a single structure, double exit intertwined stair to accommodate a small site footprint. Placed atop the tower is an elegant, glass jewel box of amenities that gives way to a rooftop pool and ramping amphitheater that creatively doubles as pool accessibility access and sundeck.
