H-E-B Digital and Favor Delivery share an East Austin technology hub inside a former recycling center. IA used Texas materials, artists, landscapes, and rituals to unite two distinct cultures within an adaptive-reuse workplace, creating common ground that supports technology work, wellbeing, and a shared connection to place.

Texas Grounds a Shared Culture
The concept, “From Marfa to the Gulf Coast,” brings two organizations together through the makers and character of their home state. Locally sourced hickory and pecan line the vestibule ceiling, while native limestone frames a reception desk inspired by a gabion wall. A 50-foot mural by Austin artist Will Bryant and handwoven screens by fiber artist Ellen Bruxvoort bring local voices into the workplace. The original warehouse structure remains exposed, allowing the building’s industrial history to coexist with new interventions. Architecture, art, and craft provide a shared identity broad enough to represent both companies and specific enough to feel unmistakably rooted in Texas.

Discovery Supports Daily Wellbeing
Movement and surprise shape the employee experience. Six laps around the office equal one mile, and a brick-lined arch recalling a Texas Quonset hut leads to wellness spaces inspired by a canyon. A 20-foot bouldering wall, fitness classes, bike parking, showers, and a parents’ room support varied routines. Inclusive restrooms draw from films by Houston-born director Wes Anderson. On clear days, garage doors open to porch-like meeting areas furnished by Marfa artist Cody Barber. A concealed room preserves artifacts from H-E-B’s first store. The workplace makes health, history, and discovery part of daily circulation rather than separate destinations.
