The James H. Robertson Building in Austin, Texas, has many past lives. Erected in 1893, the structure served as a store and an ’80s nightclub, but was mostly unused through the late 2000s. In August 2018, architecture firm Perkins and Will Austin revivified the three-story building, transforming it into an office for the online retail start-up Spreetail. Despite some challenges presented by structural remnants—including aged plumbing and built-ins from the building’s time as a bar—the narrow redbrick building now stands as a bold workplace that playfully reflects the company’s dynamic culture.

For all its bars, day spas, and barbecue joints, Los Angeles’s Koreatown lacked panache. All that changed with the Sydell Group’s flagship LINE LA hotel, which gave Sean Knibb, until then a landscape designer, entry into the hospitality world. For the brand’s third property, LINE Austin (following LINE DC), Knibb, collaborating with local architect Michael Hsu, had a different mandate entirely. No sense of place was needed. “Austin has a lot of venues and restaurants intrinsic to the city,” Knibb begins. “They’re very contextual.” Instead, he laughs, his main concern was “to keep Austin weird. That’s a phrase the folks like to use.”
