Spring Condominium

Spring is a 43-story residential high-rise complex in Austin, Texas, completed in 2009 and considered the city's first point tower. Standing 132 meters tall, it marks the Downtown West End skyline as the city's westernmost skyscraper. Designed by Foad Rafii, the building stands out for its slender silhouette resting on a wider base, as well as a facade of glass atrium, windows, and balconies. Visitors and residents appreciate the special amenities on the fifth floor, including a pool, a spa area, and grilling facilities. Architecturally noteworthy is the innovative ventilation system, in which exhaust air is routed horizontally through ducts cast into the floor slabs, as well as the green certification from the local utility.
