WE CHANGE THE WAY YOU<br />
VIEW THE WORLD. <br />
Box Office Video and Film Productions LLC. and My Realty<br />
Listing Services LLC, is a subsidiary of Box Office Realty<br />
services. We specialize in bringing a premium differentiated<br />
buying and selling experience targeting the million plus home<br />
market. As a real estate agent, you can partner with us to<br />
develop and host fully narrated movie quality tours that<br />
immerse the buyer in what it feels like to experience the seller’s<br />
home, neighborhood, and city like never before. We increase<br />
your exposure to qualified buyers and reduce your time to<br />
close with a platform that brings all the services a home owner<br />
needs to quickly close on a home with just a few clicks of the<br />
mouse. We bring buyers and sellers together as never before.<br />
Our home buying experience begins with the creation of that<br />
will become a standard in the real estate industry: Eco-Film/<br />
Video, this patient pending process uses an Ultra High<br />
Definition video that will transport a prospective buyer into<br />
the world they will live. Our Eco-Films/Videos takes the<br />
standard 40 critical pieces of information that MLS uses, and<br />
expands what the buyer is able to consume to over 80 pieces<br />
of information in a fully narrated Eco-Film/Video. From the<br />
comfort of their home or office, home buyers will be able to not<br />
only see the inside and outside of their featured property, but<br />
also the entire ecosystem that surrounds it. Their tour shows<br />
them the neighborhood, community, schools, restaurants, and<br />
recreational activities such as lakes, golf courses and other key<br />
landmarks that make the featured property stand out above all<br />
others. All films will be narrated to highlight the features of the<br />
property. With your input we will craft a script that highlights<br />
the best features of your property. High end properties will<br />
be afforded professional actors and or voice-overs. The buyer<br />
could indeed be listening to the sound alike voice of Martha<br />
Stewart or Sam Elliot. Our team will work with you to make<br />
sure your property stands out above the rest.<br />
Market research shows that 73% of sellers are more likely to<br />
list their home with an agent who leverages video to market<br />
their property. Not only will Box Office Video and Film<br />
Productions shoot a video, but a commercial quality video that<br />
will allow prospective buyers to understand the environment<br />
their future real estate investment is in. Our editors will work<br />
with you to make sure you are happy with the edited film is to<br />
your satisfaction. Long gone are the days of still photos, our<br />
videos will be the future of real estate. We change the way you<br />
view the world. Trained videographers will shoot the video<br />
in a timely manner and will use all of the necessary precautions<br />
to protect the seller in the case of a COVID-19 uptick. This<br />
will provide the seller the peace of mind that they will not be<br />
exposed.<br />
To reduce the number of showings between listing and close<br />
you will be able to qualify buyers prior to seeing the property,<br />
this allows the seller’s agent to focus their time on the<br />
opportunities most worth their time.<br />
Our services are not limited to the traditional home. We also<br />
work with commercial, farms, and ranches. We will shoot the<br />
property and the surrounding amenities, the nearest town,<br />
14 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM<br />
nearest city, and airports, to highlight what could be important<br />
to your client. Commercial properties will also hit the highlight<br />
of the major roadways, commerce transit, airports, other<br />
businesses, and what other major points you will need to<br />
inform your buyer what is important to them.<br />
Box Office Video and Film Productions LLC. will initially open in<br />
Texas focusing on the Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio<br />
markets followed by Texas other hot markets.<br />
Top real estate realtors and brokers who are early adopters of<br />
the platform can qualify for shares that can earn dividends from<br />
Box Office Realty Services. The dividends will be determined<br />
by the number of videos that they list with us. If you want<br />
to know how you qualify for this please contact us for more<br />
information.<br />
Once My Realty Listing Services’ website is completed we will<br />
have all the necessary vendor and services to close on a real<br />
estate property in one place. From mortgage companies, title<br />
companies, appraisers, and every other aspect you would need<br />
to close one a property within a few clicks of a keyboard. In<br />
painstakingly detail we vet all our preferred vendors and we will<br />
have at least three for each region. So that you can be assured<br />
your client can close quickly as possible and satisfied with the<br />
real estate transaction, which helps you build your brand and<br />
name.<br />
Box Office Realty Services will initially open in Texas which has<br />
8.8% of US residential housing with 18.6% growth in 2020.<br />
Initially that will allow us to enter into four of the top cities<br />
that have houses valued over one million, and also into one<br />
of the hottest growth markets. We will also do a soft start in<br />
California that represents 21.2% of US residential housing.<br />
This will give us access to one of the highest concentrations<br />
of million dollar houses in the US. As soon as the website is<br />
developed, we can enter into all of the 335 cities with over<br />
100,000 in population. In order to ensure that we continue<br />
to have high quality videos, we will make certain that our<br />
contracted videographers are properly trained by our pilots,<br />
they will have strict criteria, and adhere to quality standards.<br />
They will submit the video to our editing team in its completed<br />
form, or in the raw footage, where our team will do the editing,<br />
script writing, and voice-overs. Before the property is posted,<br />
we will insure the property’s Eco-Film/Video will adhere to<br />
the high standards that BORS has set forth.<br />
At present, RedFin, Realtor.com, and Zillow are the industry<br />
standards for getting the information out about listed<br />
properties. They use still photos majority of the time to show<br />
the property and if there is video footage it isn’t the quality<br />
or detail that ours are. Myrls.info process is a much safer<br />
and enhanced informative way to sell the property. With an<br />
interactive website and the proper marketing, we will be able<br />
to penetrate the US market for top priced properties within<br />
three years.<br />
As you can see with our strategic plan we will be a household<br />
name within a few years. So, don’t be behind on the curve, be<br />
known as a trend setter, and contact us so we can send our<br />
film crew to shoot your next ECO Film/Video. Our process<br />
will help you build your brand and your name to set you apart<br />
from the other 1.4 million real estate agents in the US. We are<br />
changing how the consumer, views, sells, and buys real estate.

BUILD A GREAT LIFE!<br />
By Associated General Contractors of America - Austin Chapter<br />
The year 2021 marked 75 years since the Austin AGC was<br />
founded back in 1946 by a small group of local builders who<br />
wanted to create an organization to serve as their collective<br />
voice for the commercial construction industry. Each month<br />
of this past year we highlighted interesting stories from our<br />
Chapter history and about industry leaders who helped build<br />
Austin. We learned a lot about the first years of the Austin<br />
AGC and the purchase of the land where our building still sits<br />
today. We also learned about the formation of our legislative<br />
arm at the Texas Capitol, our inaugural BBQ event in 1947,<br />
the growth of safety services, the role of the old plan room,<br />
and many more interesting facts from the Austin AGC history<br />
vault. The collection of these monthly stories is available<br />
online on our website (www.agcaustin.org) and we are also<br />
compiling them into a commemorative publication to include<br />
along with our annual Membership Directory for all Austin AGC<br />
companies.<br />
We hope that when reading these stories, you appreciate all<br />
the hard work, investment of time and monies, and leadership<br />
that have gone into building Austin. These efforts by past<br />
leaders have created for all of us today an opportunity to<br />
succeed in the local construction industry. We also hope you<br />
will be mindful of the role you play currently in setting the table<br />
for the next generation of builders to come who will someday<br />
carry on the proud legacy of building Austin’s quality of life. As<br />
you know, construction is a great career that has existed since<br />
the beginning of time and will be around forever. While other<br />
industries come and go, construction opportunities will always<br />
be available wherever and whenever a community like Austin<br />
demands the built environment necessary for a great quality of<br />
life.<br />
Speaking of building a great life, with thousands of Austin<br />
motorists and pedestrians passing by our South Lamar office<br />
location every day, this year we decided to brighten up the<br />
building with a colorful homage to the local commercial<br />
construction industry. The design was created by Emily Mente<br />
(www.studiomente.com) and showcases notable buildings in<br />
town – some newer ones built by our members and some older,<br />
iconic ones that represent Austin – along with tower cranes, a<br />
concrete mixer truck and industry professionals. The mural also<br />
reflects the natural beauty of Austin that, along with the built<br />
environment, makes a great quality of life for our community.<br />
20 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM<br />
We included the line “<strong>Build</strong> a Great Life” because,<br />
fundamentally, that’s what construction professionals do.<br />
Their career in the industry benefits themselves and their<br />
families while, at the same time, they are building a great life<br />
for everyone in the community who enjoys the offices, schools,<br />
churches, hospitals, hotels, apartments, restaurants, sports<br />
venues, and many other structures throughout town brought<br />
from concept to reality by construction professionals. Come<br />
on by the office - whether by yourself, with family, or with you<br />
building teams – and check out the mural. We hope you like<br />
the mural as much as we do! A big THANK YOU to Evercam<br />
for providing a time lapse camera to record the 5-week<br />
painting process, and to Equipment Depot for the boom lift as<br />
well. Check out the time-lapse at www.agcaustin.org!<br />
Also in 2021, the Austin AGC helped further foster the<br />
networking so critical to building a construction community<br />
by hosting a first ever AGC Contractor BBQ Cook Off and<br />
Rodeo. What an awesome event it was, too, attended by<br />
over 700 guests! The venue in Bastrop was perfect, as<br />
was the late November weather. The 21 BBQ teams made<br />
delicious brisket, chicken, ribs, and “jackpot” items for all. The<br />
rodeo action was truly incredible, showcasing a mix of both<br />
professional riders and amateurs from local AGC member<br />
firms. If you’ve never been to a rodeo, you are missing out on<br />
some great entertainment! We intend to host a second rodeo<br />
this November as we have learned many folks in the local<br />
construction industry love rodeo action as well.<br />
2021 also saw the newly created Diversity and Inclusion<br />
Committee begin to grow as part of our commitment to<br />
increasing awareness that the construction industry is a great<br />
place for all to succeed. Each month in 2021, and under<br />
the leadership of Stephanie Cook with Cokinos|Young, the<br />
Committee discussed various challenges for the industry as we<br />
struggle to attract the workforce required to meet construction<br />
demand. For many leading construction firms, diversity of<br />
the workforce isn’t simply a popular buzzword, rather it is a<br />
strategic and deliberate effort to make their offices and jobsites<br />
attractive to all who may want to build as a career. This year<br />
the Committee is sponsoring diversity awards for local firms<br />
committed to this effort and making clear gains toward the<br />
goal.<br />
As Austin continues to grow today and, in the years to come,<br />
the Austin AGC is proud to serve the needs of the local<br />
construction community in the areas of advocacy, safety,<br />
networking, education, building information and more.

Selling in the COVID Era<br />
Wednesday, April 13 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />
Selling in the construction industry during and post COVID is challenging. Some of the tried and true methods are less<br />
effective and many new ones are not as effective as they were at the onset. How do you adjust your sales strategy to<br />
continue to produce profitable business, increase revenue and even grow in this time period? Giving up on sales is a<br />
mistake and will be realized often when it’s too late. What we’ll cover:<br />
• Is outside sales still relevant • Is Zoom the new normal • Is face to face selling possible<br />
How can you integrate digital selling with traditional selling?<br />
We will dive deep into all these areas and you will come out with a baseline to build a sales plan. Many construction<br />
industry related companies are thriving in this climate. This is a chance for you to be one of those experiencing success.<br />
Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, <strong>Build</strong>ers & Remodelers<br />
Networking & Association Use<br />
Thursday, April 14 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />
Many contractors never join relevant associations that can produce revenue for them. Even worse they spend the dues<br />
money and don’t maximize the effectiveness of the association. We will layout how to determine what associations to<br />
join, how to work them and get business from your involvement. The single greatest way to find grouped customers and<br />
network contacts is right in your backyard association!<br />
Work them to the fullest and you’ll never make a cold call again!<br />
Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, <strong>Build</strong>ers & Remodelers<br />

Grow In The ‘New’ Post-COVID Reality<br />
Wednesday, April 13 | 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />
Every contractor owner desires to have a business they own instead of a business that owns them. However, chaos creeps<br />
in and owners feel they spend their days constantly putting out fires and cleaning up messes left by employees and clients<br />

This roadmap will equip you to beat chaos with predictability, and to build a business that brings stability, life, and time for<br />
what matters most.<br />

Every contractor owner desires to have a business that provides freedom for the things that matter, but too often wake up<br />
to a business that has them feeling trapped in the quicksand of Groundhog Day…the same headache day after day.<br />
This roadmap will equip you to pause, quiet the distraction, pull back the curtain, and restore a simple clarity into your<br />
business that will provide a renewed enthusiasm and commitment to mission that made you excited about your business in<br />
the first place!<br />

The Rise & Fall of the Green <strong>Build</strong>ing Movement - 1.0 AIA Credit<br />
1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. | Room B<br />
Peter L Pfeiffer, FAIA<br />
Principal, FAIA | Barley Pfeiffer Architecture<br />
How did the host city of SXSW become the birthplace of the international Green <strong>Build</strong>ing movement? What were the<br />
drivers, and the unconventional approaches to solving a growing US city’s forecasted energy shortage, that created Energy<br />
Star, and then the nation’s first and most vetted Green <strong>Build</strong>ing program? This is a fascinating story of questioning long-held<br />
assumptions, creative thinking and lucky timing in the face of a looming crisis that gave birth to the concept of socially &<br />
economically diverse environmentalism - and it was not necessarily borne out of the environmental movement!<br />
Why is today’s technology-based “LEED” Green <strong>Build</strong>ing program a far cry from the original, and arguably deeper, ideals<br />
and aspirations of the “Green” movement? What’s more real? What’s next?<br />
Now the green building movement has been codified into a checklist approach to integrating various “green” building<br />
products and technologies into our homes and buildings. New “catchy” terms are being bantered about – like “IAQ” and<br />
“Net Zero” homes and buildings. What does this mean? What does it “boil down” to?<br />
Isn’t what we’re trying to achieve is to make our buildings, homes and communities simply perform better? What about a<br />
different approach – that of “Green” or “High Performance” building – BY DESIGN?<br />
Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, <strong>Build</strong>ers, and Remodelers<br />

Common <strong>Construction</strong> Sales Mistakes<br />
9:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | Room 1<br />
Tom Woodcock<br />
President | Seal the Deal<br />
Many in the construction industry consistently make the same mistakes that kill their opportunity. There are many common<br />
errors and mentalities that hinder sales success. We’ll put a light on these problems and give the behaviors that counter<br />
them. Make sure your approach to the customer base is the most effective possible. These errors are often made without<br />
the contractor even realizing they’re making them. This cripples their chances of winning profitable projects.<br />

Preparing and managing the contractor’s cash flow. What’s important for the contractor is not only predicting “how much”,<br />
but also the timing of the expenses as well as the incoming payments. This helps the contractor both calculate the maximum<br />
expected debt (credit line) as well as the time-cost of the money (cost of borrowing). This seminar takes a glance at<br />
these topics with some important tips.<br />

as early dark sky areas. Thus far, 34 such communities exist.<br />
(Dark Sky)<br />
Homeowners and businesses will want to know if their outdoor<br />
lighting needs to be dark-sky compliant. I recommend checking<br />
the city or county regulations. Although there may be no law<br />
for a specific region, building contractors and architects who<br />
care deeply about the natural ecosystem will probably install<br />
dark-sky lighting products<br />
anyway.<br />
DARK SKIES AND BRIGHT<br />
STARS BY DESIGN<br />
By John Whitcraft, PE, CLD, LEED AP BD+C, President of<br />
Whitcraft Engineering Solutions, Inc.<br />
Light pollution is at the forefront of any outdoor lighting design<br />
project I initiate. It is imperative that lighting design be initiated<br />
not only with a focus on innovation but also avoidance of light<br />
pollution. Before artificial light, humans depended on the moon<br />
and stars for night illumination. Currently, nature’s night sky is<br />
littered with man-made light, blocking the once pristine view of<br />
the celestial world. The issue has compelled environmentalists<br />
and civic leaders to embrace dark-sky laws. (The Washington<br />
Post) As a result, regulations are benefiting the environment,<br />
economy, conservationists, and business leaders worldwide. 1<br />
Light Pollution – Electrical Design is Critical<br />
At Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, the lighting system<br />
has been overhauled so that after the sun sets visitors can<br />
experience a naturally dark sky – once again teeming with<br />
bright stars, planets, and meteors. In doing so, the park became<br />
the world’s 100th International Dark Sky Park.<br />
Conservationists at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department report<br />
that night skies are fading and natural darkness is disappearing.<br />
Consequently, an estimated 80% of Americans have never seen<br />
the Milky Way with approximately 300 billion stars of different<br />
sizes, intensities, and ages.<br />
The culprit for fading natural darkness: the growing glare<br />
of artificial lights. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department<br />
emphasizes that “poorly designed or installed outdoor lighting<br />
leads to light that is too bright, misdirected, or shining where<br />
it’s not wanted.” Essentially, light pollution…<br />
• Produces glare, limiting visibility at night;<br />
• Creates light trespass (unwanted light);<br />
• Wastes money for unnecessary lighting;<br />
• Obscures views of the stars and planets; and<br />
• Impacts the health of humans and animals.<br />

Bill Haddon, President<br />
of Friends of Taylor<br />
Observatory in Kelseyville,<br />
a Northern California<br />
community near Eureka<br />
states: “The distinction is<br />
not all about having the<br />
darkest skies; it’s about<br />
what you’re doing in the<br />
long term to preserve<br />
the dark skies you have…<br />
the most basic thing is to<br />
have the light pointing<br />
downward, not upward.”<br />
(Lake County Bee)<br />
Meeting the downwardpointing<br />
feature is easy<br />
to implement. Two of my<br />
architectural clients are<br />
considering the following:<br />
Moonlight Towers – Lighting in<br />
Austin, Circa 1890<br />
The Moonlight Towers trigger<br />
nostalgia for many Austinites.<br />
First brought to Austin in 1894,<br />
these 165-foot towers assured<br />
residents of greater safety at<br />
night because they illuminated<br />
an area of several blocks. This<br />
type of tower with arc lighting<br />
was installed in large cities<br />
throughout the United States<br />
until outdoor lighting standards<br />
were introduced in the 1920s.<br />
• D-Series LED Wall<br />

Brands Lighting<br />
1. LEED requires<br />
strict outdoor light<br />
trespass control<br />
that until now<br />
has been nearly<br />
impossible to meet<br />
when the property<br />
line is adjacent to<br />
a parking lot.<br />
2. D-Series Extreme<br />
Cutoff Optics<br />
meet this criteria,<br />
providing a solution to gain a LEED point.<br />
As of <strong>2022</strong> there are 17<br />
remaining towers that are<br />
revered as city landmarks. The<br />
towers have also been inducted<br />
into the National Register of<br />
Historic Places. In 1995, the<br />
towers were carefully restored<br />
with original components and<br />
then celebrated in a citywide<br />
festival. (Documentary)<br />

2. Downward light does not extend below a flat opening<br />
3. Available for less than $100.00<br />
Key features of a Dark Sky-Compliant Luminaire:<br />
• Detects twilight and turns on after sunset, off after dawn.<br />
• Motion sensors detect movement and adjust illumination<br />
level.<br />
• Flat, downward light opening—lamp does not extend below<br />
the opening.
• Luminaire suits a rural setting without violating dark-sky<br />
rules or annoy neighbors.<br />
The International Dark Sky Association has a list of IDA<br />
approved lighting.<br />
A Dark Sky Law<br />
In June 2021 Texas Senate Bill 1090 made it easier for<br />
communities to pursue International Dark Sky designations.<br />
The law encourages residents and businesses to turn off<br />
non-essential lights from 11PM to 6AM during specified bird<br />
migration periods. In August 2021, Austin and Fort Worth<br />
participated in the nationwide Lights Out Initiative in order<br />
to protect billions of birds as they migrate across the U.S. As<br />
of September, 2021, 15 sites are now designated as Dark<br />
Sky Places in Texas, seven of which are located between<br />
Fredericksburg and Austin.<br />
Pittsburgh Fights Light Pollution<br />
In late 2021, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, initiated an ordinance<br />
that made it the first major American city to adopt lighting<br />
standards addressing light pollution. The law requires all new<br />
construction and renovations of city-owned buildings to<br />
comply with dark sky lighting principles, including replacing all<br />
city street lights with fixtures that feature timers and dimmers.<br />
Lights are turned on when needed and are shielded by directing<br />
to a specific area and no brighter than necessary.<br />
The law applies only to city-owned property, which leaves<br />
75% of buildings unaffected. One provision mandates that the<br />
city create a guide for private property owners and developers<br />
based on dark sky lighting standards. The city’s major<br />
attractions, such as zoos and museums, will install compliant<br />
lighting in future renovations and capital projects.<br />
Nationwide Trend: Brightening Landscapes with LED Lighting<br />
Both businesses and homeowners in the U.S. will reduce light<br />
pollution and conserve energy if they use LED lights for their<br />
landscapes. LEDs last an average of 50,000 hours, making<br />
them more reliable than any other landscape lighting products<br />
available. (Garden Light LED) A compact fluorescent lamp lasts<br />
8,000 hours and incandescent lamps last only 1,200 hours.<br />
Luminous efficacy is better: 81 lumins 2 per watt for LEDs, 62<br />
lm/w for fluorescent and 14 lm/w for incandescent. Watts used<br />
per hour is better: LED uses 10 w/h, fluorescent uses 12 w/h<br />
and incandescent uses 60 w/h. (www.lightingever.com)<br />
LEDs use solid-state technology to convert electricity<br />
into light. According to the Dark Sky LED Guide, LEDs are<br />
small lamps that are part of a lighting power circuit. Unlike<br />
traditional incandescent bulbs, LEDs do not contain a filament<br />
and use less energy. LEDs are available in a wide range of<br />
color temperatures. Because of their improved quality and<br />
falling prices, LEDs are now replacing conventional highintensity<br />
discharge (HID) lamps for outdoor lighting in many<br />
communities worldwide.<br />
streetlights to<br />
LED streetlights –<br />
benefiting the city as<br />
follows:<br />
• Reduced<br />
streetlight energy<br />
costs by 50%;<br />
• Improved lighting<br />
quality and<br />
visibility and<br />
enhance street<br />
safety;<br />
• Lowered<br />
maintenance costs<br />
by extending<br />
maintenance<br />
cycle for lamp<br />
replacement (LED<br />
fixture life is 4X<br />
that of sodium<br />
vapor lamps);<br />
• Eliminated use<br />
of hazardous<br />
materials<br />
contained in<br />
sodium vapor<br />
lamps; and<br />
• Preserved the<br />
night sky in<br />
late evening for<br />
astronomical<br />
research by Lick<br />
Observatory.<br />
Automatic Sensors<br />
and Systems with LED<br />
Lighting<br />
LED lighting design<br />
systems frequently<br />
come with an attached control sensor that identifies light and<br />
restrains illumination. These sensors can turn on the landscape<br />
lights based on the intensity of the natural light around them<br />
as twilight occurs. For that reason, the brightness of the LED<br />
landscape lighting can intensify as<br />
dusk occurs and decrease as dawn<br />
occurs.<br />
Architects and lighting contractors<br />
can play a vital role in helping to<br />
preserve our night skies.<br />
Working in the Daylight Improves<br />
<strong>Construction</strong> Workers’ Sleep<br />
Quality<br />
According to a 2020 occupational<br />
survey, construction workers and<br />
others who perform physical labor<br />
outdoors in the daytime are likely<br />
to sleep soundly for seven to eight<br />
hours each night. Why? It all relates<br />
to circadian rhythms that respond<br />
to lightness and darkness.<br />
Dorothy Chambers, who specializes<br />
in psychology and sleep-related<br />
issues, comments, “Workers in<br />
the construction industry usually<br />
work daylight hours...[and] more<br />
likely to maintain a sleep schedule<br />
consistent with sunrise and<br />
sunset—making it easier for them<br />
to fall asleep and wake up at the<br />
same time every day.” As a plus,<br />
daytime workers are often able to<br />
control their emotions and respond<br />
to difficult situations in a calm<br />
and healthy way because regular<br />
sleep balances stress hormones.<br />
(<strong>Construction</strong> Executive)<br />
Night workers can achieve similar<br />
stability with a regular sleep<br />
routine...using a darkened room<br />
for sleeping. Sleep experts suggest<br />
wearing sunglasses on the way<br />
home from work, decreasing light<br />
exposure, and going to bed soon<br />
after coming home from work.<br />
Benefits of LED Streetlights<br />
The City of San Jose, CA, recently completed an LED<br />
Conversion Program, going from low-pressure sodium<br />
2 A lumen is the amount of light seen by the eye coming from a single<br />
source, the standard unit for the luminous flux of a light source.<br />

SPECIAL AUSTIN SHOW EDITION <strong>2022</strong> 41
MARK ODOM STUDIO<br />
REPURPOSED SHIPPING<br />
CONTAINERS TO CREATE A<br />
ONE-OF-A-KIND EXPERIENCE<br />
AT AUSTIN’S EXCITING NEW<br />
HOSPITALITY COMPLEX<br />
PARMER PONDS THE PITCH.<br />
By Mark Odom Studio<br />
Photos by: Casey Dunn<br />
The Pitch -- Austin’s distinct hospitality and<br />
entertainment complex for Austin FC soccer fans and<br />
the community debuted in February <strong>2022</strong>. The 1/2 acre<br />
site is a one-of-a-kind destination hub for hospitality,<br />
retail, food, office and outdoor gatherings served from<br />
flexible two-story repurposed shipping containers. The<br />
unique project was designed by Austin award winning<br />
architecture and interiors firm, Mark Odom Studio<br />
with construction by Citadel Development and Austin<br />
Commercial.<br />
“The developer, Karlin Real Estate, was interested in<br />
using shipping containers; they had not worked with a<br />
container concept before and really wanted to lean into<br />
the idea,” says Mark Odom, founding principal of Mark<br />
42 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM<br />
Odom Studio. “We have previously studied the use of<br />
containers for commercial, retail and multi-family designs<br />
all of which were un-built; we feel that The Pitch is the<br />
first project of its kind in Austin and the region.”<br />
The complex comprises 23 repurposed shipping<br />
containers of two standard container modular sizes: 8 X<br />
20 foot and 8 X 40 foot. The containers are stacked to<br />
create two stories and then clustered into five separate<br />
building pods, with varying building square footages,<br />
that function differently for the users while creating a<br />
dense visual and physical experience and view onto the<br />
landscape.<br />
“Each building pod is organized and stacked differently<br />
while they all use the same custom detailing, material<br />
and color. This allows the focus on the true form of each<br />
container to be consistent,” says Odom.<br />
Ground level containers serve as food and beverage<br />
outlets for premiere local food vendors. Second level<br />
containers are multifunctional as viewing decks, interior<br />
conditioned gathering spaces, private office space,<br />
private party rooms and Austin FC game watching<br />
parties. Custom stairs, vertical tube steel railings, and<br />
overhead trellises were carefully designed and executed<br />
tying together each level.<br />
Three 40-foot-tall containers were placed on ends to<br />
serve as wayfinding nodes from a far -- while functioning<br />
as restroom facilities and electrical rooms at ground level:<br />
each has 40-foot interior vertical perspective views to
the skylight above. A mass timber pavilion with custom<br />
steel apertures further anchors the program between the<br />
Austin FC practice stadium and The Pitch.<br />
The once flat site was heavily landscaped to help the<br />
containers nestle and absorb the grade changes. As each<br />
pod was curated differently, the experience and views<br />
will also entice users to walk around and explore.<br />
To achieve the level of execution needed on this unique<br />
project, Mark Odom Studio worked closely with the<br />
developers, Leap Structures, Citadel, and Makehaus. “We<br />
approached this project as a collaborative team effort<br />
and the complexity required all disciplines to problem<br />
solve together from feasibility schematics through<br />
construction. The timeline was fast, and the team was<br />
pushing from start to finish; The entire team was crucial<br />
in making the deadline,” says Odom.<br />
Additionally, Mark Odom Studio handled the exterior<br />
and interior finish selections as well as the interior and<br />
exterior furniture selections and installation.<br />
