Material look book and selections for El paso water worksheadquarters prepared for Lake Flato by WestEast.
The Architectural vocabulary of El Paso Water’s new headquarters draws inspiration from the city’s desert mountains, rich culture, and important history of industrial manufacturing. Centered on the conceptual themes of earth, landscape, and sky, each floor has a unique yet complimentary material palette reflective of the West Texas landscape. By pairing industrial materials like steel and concrete with artisan-inspired brick, contrasting earth tones with bright pops of color, and utilizing a flood of natural light, the building becomes the aesthetic embodiment of El Paso’s unique identity.
