Green Building of Kimber Modern Hotel by baldridge-architects
The Kimber Modern represents an almost perfect coincidence of site, program and architectural form. The form derives simply from a precipitously sloped site with parking placed underneath. The low-slung design provides a multi-leveled environment that is never more than one story from the ground, providing a sensitive buffer between the sheer commerce of the vibrant Congress Avenue corridor and the quaint South Austin neighborhoods to the east and south. At the same time the building serves as a buffer to its inhabitants, opening inwardly to an interior land & deckscape that provides an oasis from the SoCo buzz just outside
The building comprises 5 rooms and a suite, laundry facilities, 6 ½ bathrooms, offices for the bed and breakfast, a gracious and lushly landscaped courtyard, offices for an accountant and her employees, and a semi hidden deck housing a 26’ airstream trailer – essentially atop the building – to serve as her conference room.
