From watercolor studies to 3D renderings and soon, reality. The new Artpace rooftop is officially in the works. Grasso Gay Architects and Artpace are proud to partner on this transformational renovation, designed to bring together architecture, sustainability, and everyday community use in the heart of downtown San Antonio.

The new rooftop will be fully solar powered thanks to Mission Solar and Big Sun Solar, and will open to the public this fall.

We’re excited to share progress over the next few months. Follow along as we bring this shared vision to life!

We shaped this entry sequence to slow down the arrival experience. The wide concrete pavers create rhythm while the arched opening draws you forward through layers of landscape into the heart of the home.

Two approaches to powder room luxury. The first envelops you in maximalist botanical prints with brass details that catch the light, while the second embraces rich emerald paint with traditional furnishings that feel collected over time.

Old bones, new story. We take what's already there — the solid foundation, the natural light, the established footprint — and reimagine it, turning it into a space that elevates and complements your every day.

We believe a home library should feel like a sanctuary. These built-in shelves create an impressive scale while maintaining the intimate feel every study needs. The solid wood and thoughtful proportions make this room both commanding and calm.

Who needs walls when you have architecture this bold? These striking columns and that perfect arch turn a simple patio into pure poetry. Your morning coffee deserves this kind of drama.

The layering of architecture in a space brings many levels of joy to one's experience of living! The key is for the details to be designed in proportion to the surroundings and to the desired human experience. The ex*****on has to follow these and the finishing touches are the color and decor! Discovering a new detail every time you pass by... no experience is the same, no view repeated. This is what classical architecture is all about...this is what your home is all about...a beautiful experience in every step.

I love archways, they make travel from one space of your home to the other feel magical. In this stunning historic home we used these deep arches to create a magical moment transitioning from the historic portion of the home to the the 1980's addition. Now in the interiors, you can't tell architecturally what was there originally and what is new as the design elements from the home were unified and elevated playfully using the historic character. Now, the deep arches are the only clue, wink.

We were hired to design a home for a client whose house was lost to a fire. The home owner wanted to explore construction methods with a high fire resistance and energy efficiency. We were able to achieve these needs combined with an 'old-world' aesthetic by using Gray-Block Insulated Concrete Forms (ICCF). We were very happy with the results! Gray block ICF have a fire rating of 4 hours and are highly insulative. During the our client was without power for six days in below freezing temperatures, but the temperature in their house never dropped below 60 degrees!...and they continue to brag about their impossibly low utility bills even during the heat of South Texas Summers. The depth of the blocks allows windows to be set deep in the wall giving the feel of a solid masonry or adobe construction. We utilized a natural lime stucco which was applied directly to the outside of the structure as our exterior finish material which we think is beautiful. We love the look of the lime stucco with a smooth finish that allows the trowel work of the craftsman to play in the sunlight.
