Westlake Dermatology exhibited at Urban Land Institute's 2019 Regional Marketplace
This April, MF Architecture exhibited at the 2019 Regional Marketplace, an annual land use and development event hosted by Urban Land Institute (ULI). The Westlake Dermatology Marble Falls project, a finalist of the 2018 ULI Impact Award, was on show as one of the hottest emerging real estate projects in the greater Austin area. By balancing solid and void, as well as rough and smooth, the minimalist, museum-like dermatology and surgery center stands as a pristine form, both contrasting and complimenting its natural setting. The MF Architecture booth was sponsored by Frontier Bank.
