State House on Congress is a four-story mixed-use structure located on a premier block of South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas. The structure is part of a multi-building complex that includes retail, office, hotel, and residential spaces. State House is a concrete-framed structure clad with brick masonry and stucco, with large expanses of curtain wall and window wall glazing systems and featuring decorative metal elements.

APC consulted on behalf of Studio8, the Architect-of-Record, and alongside Turnbridge Equities, the owner, and Gilbane, the General Contractor, providing enclosure consulting during design and construction of the project.

We performed multiple iterations of peer review, working with Studio8 to refine the exterior enclosure detailing, and observed and reported on enclosure construction progress throughout the project. We assisted the construction team in working through technical issues with sequencing and as-constructed geometries and administered field performance testing of window systems.  

The project was completed in 2021 and is one of the most popular and expensive retail strips in Austin.
