St. Mary’s Street Parking Garage, completed in 2002, was a watershed project for Alamo Architects. It showcases a commitment to urban context and a skilled response to a complex program and site. The parking facility occupies a prime corner in San Antonio’s historic downtown corridor and rises to the occasion with a swaggering contemporary expression. The project scope and resonance with the public helped us reach a new level in practice. Twenty-plus years on, we believe it stands the test of time – strong tribute to founding partner and project architect Mike Lanford.
I stand by my belief that we have created the most beautiful parking garage on the planet that further amplifies the conservation work we do locally, regionally, and around the world. The garage is a great example of the vibrancy of San Antonio Zoo’s future.
