Balancing form and function.
In the heart of Austin, Texas, 100 Congress stands as a testament to the seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics. Embracing the warmth and character of Austin, the building offers tenants an opportunity to immerse themselves in the city’s vibrant spirit.
Red Thread’s influence extends throughout the lobby of 100 Congress, where every detail is carefully curated. Custom lighting casts a warm glow, ergonomic task chairs unite comfort and style, and custom banquettes and rugs contribute to the inviting ambiance. Neutral tones and wooden elements create a tranquil atmosphere, while collaboration with local vendors like Deb Olsen ensures the city’s essence is woven into the space. Outdoor areas provide a pleasant escape, aligning with Austin’s warm climate, and the gym combines design and practicality, encouraging a healthy lifestyle for all tenants. Red Thread prioritized on-site visits and remote sit-tests to tailor designs aligned with Austin’s dynamic culture.

Hospitality Comfort Meets Everyday Durability
2Life Communities: Opus Newton
Opus Newton brings a fresh approach to middle-market senior living, creating a warm, hospitality-inspired environment from the moment you step inside. Classic wingback chairs, natural light, and inviting textures set the tone for a campus designed around comfort and connection.
The 175-unit community is co-located with a low-income residence and community center, forming neighborhood with access to wellness, dining, and cultural programming. Working with Perkins Eastman and more than 40 vendor partners, elevated design was blended with the durability senior living requirements that include treated fabrics, hidden moisture barriers, and vetted materials, all work together to create elevated spaces built to last. It’s a careful balance that keeps the space feeling refined while standing up to everyday use.
Across the gathering spaces, salon, art room, gym, yoga studio, patios, and private balconies, the goal was simple: create spaces where residents can connect, move, and feel at home. As senior living continues to grow and evolve, projects like this show how thoughtful details can elevate both the experience and the longevity of the space.
