1921 Fredericksburg Road is a small commercial office project in the Deco District of San Antonio.
In an effort to embody the character of Fredericksburg Road’s existing historic architecture, the proposed new construction will be fashioned in an art deco style. Instead of using art deco flourishes to decorate a plain shell, likeness in style is achieved by form and material to provide a strong aesthetic while appearing understated in relation to some of its older and heavily ornamented neighbors. The proposed building pays homage to the neighboring Woodlawn Theatre by mimicking the distinctly art deco characteristics of its stepped marquee.
