The master plan for the LCRA Riverside Conference Center was directly influenced and inspired by the starkly beautiful and remote Bastrop County site.

Steinbomer & Associates respected the historical context and scale of this site with particular sensitivity. With historic structures scattered throughout the property, the design used warm, rustic materials to lend the new buildings a sense of history, much like their predecessors.

The Riverside Dormitories achieved a high design quality through the use of local design types and materials. The project encourages and promotes the existing aesthetic: a quaint but poignant relic of Texas land and history. The renovation of existing buildings and reintroduction of these structures into the master plan of the project pushes sustainability from a historic and grassroots perspective, while enabling the LCRA to meet their project goals through means which were responsible to the site and program.
