The project

Rhode Partners designed Starlight, a five-storey infill apartment building in East Austin with studios, one and two-bedroom flats and townhomes. It was completed in 2023, with the practice also handling the interiors, furniture, signage and wayfinding.

The design draws on the midcentury modernism of Palm Springs through a minimal palette, brick screens, recessed balconies and breezeways. A pool deck, cabanas and sky lounges share open, desert-planted layouts. Affordable, standard and premium flats share the same layouts and sizes, differing only in finish.

The pool courtyard lined with palms and loungers.
A sky lounge terrace under a deep roof.
A lounge opening to a terrace with city views.
An apartment living room with views to the trees.
