But when it comes to a new Hsu-designed office building in South Austin, another design element deserves a close look. The 165,000-square-foot Bouldin Creek office building, at the northeast corner of South Lamar Boulevard and West Oltorf Street, features four murals created by four local artists: Soledad Fernandez-Whitechurch, Tyler Hobbs, Sophie Roach, and Jana Swec. Unico Properties, the main developer of the project, tapped the Downtown Austin Alliance Foundation’s Writing on the Walls program to commission the four murals.
