Colorado Tower is located in downtown Austin, just a few blocks from the Colorado River. The client requested that the river serve as a reference and inspiration for the design of the architectural glass wall that spans the full width of the tower’s main lobby. Highly visible from the street, this installation functions as a defining visual identity for the building at street level.

Measuring over 100 feet in length and 15 feet in height, the custom glass wall is constructed from cast and tempered glass. Laminated glass lenses are installed on the front surface to create additional depth and visual texture. The entire feature is illuminated by LED lighting from a concealed cavity, which projects light onto a gradated blue background wall, enhancing the coloration and transparency of the glass.

To complement the glass composition, vertical strips of painted wood were integrated into the design. These accents provide rhythm and contrast, making the installation a standout example of architectural glass art in Austin that harmonizes natural inspiration with urban sophistication.
