📖 Lake Flato. The Houses

Lake Flato Architects, based in San Antonio and Austin, believe first and foremost that architecture should be rooted in it's particular place, responding in a meaningful way to the natural or built environment. Using local materials and partnering with the best local craftsmen, Lake Flato seek to create buildings that are tactile and modern, environmentally responsible and authentic, artful and crafted. Now more than thirty years since it's founding, the firm has grown along with the range and complexity of it's projects, yet it still considers the desire to build in partnership with the land to be an approach that remains valid and increasingly resonant. Lake Flato's first projects were houses, and these projects excite the firm still. By exploring the intimate relationship between family, place, and building, Lake Flato create unique living environments that possess a compelling authenticity and beauty.
