SoFlo, so reinvented. (San Antonio, Alamo, Anton: real estate, broker, houses)

’’They were these horrifying buildings,’’ said Steve Thurlow, the real estate broker who listed them. ’’I can not tell you what I’d have to go through to describe it or explain to people where it was because nobody noticed them.’’

In a matter of months, however, they’ve become serene, cutting-edge office spaces for two San Antonio architecture firms.

Alamo Architects and O’Neill Conrad Oppelt Architects Inc. transformed a bunch of rusty old metal buildings and their concrete-covered grounds into an environmentally friendly and inspiring place to work.

Wrought iron that formerly was used for warehouse windows has been turned into fencing at the back entrance to Alamo Architects’ new building in SoFlo.



Alamo Architects recycled the pine floor planks from run-down warehouses at 1512 S. Flores into a stunning stairway and for the surrounding area. The architecture firm reused almost everything on the site when renovating it.
