7700 Parmer – Demolition (In Progress…)

Posted on February 25, 2016 by r3removal

The 7700 Parmer project is a 90,000+ sq. ft. selective demolition of high tech office space in North Austin. This job has presented challenges from the beginning as is the nature of selective demo in tech buildings (you never know what’s behind that second ceiling).

The Levander Loop office project consist of an industrial warehouse being converted into a modular co-working space near the corner of Cesar Chavez and 183.

1. For this project we are installing a unique system of green barrier framing designed by Mark Hutchinson which will all but eliminate heat transfer and create an well insulated energy efficient working space. The building will feature a steel frame mezzanine in the middle of the building.

This is unique wood framing in the interior of the building which our carpenters are installing.

Thanks to Roy for making sure Shane got this one right.

R3 also did the selective demolition of the original building to make way for the new design, see the photos in the gallery below for examples of the demolition.

This is an ongoing project. Look for more information and pictures to come.

804 Congress Avenue Project

Posted on February 10, 2016 by r3removal

For the 804 Congress Avenue project we are building a combined table and planter system to provide the restaurant with a sidewalk cafe setting in the heart of downtown.

View from street of the job site.

The site is located on the northwest corner of Congress Ave and 8th Street (Two blocks from the Capitol building).

View of rail and south planter..

The steel rail provides an architectural feature, while at the same time providing a security feature for the restaurant patron in case of accidental car trying to leave the road.
