Spring is a 44 story residential condominium in Austin, Texas. Opening and completed in 2009, Spring stands 132 m (433 ft) over west Austin. The building was designed by Vancouver based Architect Foad Rafii. Architect of record is Morris Architects and Pentagram was graphic designer of the project. It is the very first point tower in Austin, meaning it is tall and slender, combining a skyscraper with high-rise residence. The main structure is cast in place concrete. It is the first building in the Austin area to utilize an "in slab" HVAC exhaust system in which the building exhaust air is carried thru horizontal ductwork cast into the floor system and carried to the building perimeter rather than being exhausted vertically to the roof. Austin Energy has given Spring a green rating. The skyscraper features a handful of amenities. Many of these are located on the 5th floor. They are two guest suites, roof top pool with outdoor kitchen and dining, welcoming resident's lounge, private dining room, and an exercise facility.
