Project

City of Austin 

Ruiz Library

Location

Austin, TX

With the design of the Ruiz Library, we strived to integrate the confluence of people and cultures in the community that it serves, while in a broader context, integrating the confluence of geological formations in the central Austin/Texas area.  We maximized natural light with a tall, central atrium with clerestory windows, with pinwheeling forms housing the various library functions such as Children's wing, meeting rooms and Reading room.  When the library opened, the mayor at the time called it the "best designed building in Austin."

Our approach involves a deep understanding of our clients' needs and aspirations, allowing us to tailor our designs to reflect their vision. We believe in the power of architecture to transform environments and enhance the way people interact with spaces. At Elizabeth Salaiz Architect Inc., we strive to create timeless designs that resonate with the unique identity of each project.
