Oasis, Texas Mixed-Use Development

This destination mixed-use development of more than 30 shops and two restaurants shares the same property as the Oasis restaurant and sits on a cliff 450 feet above Lake Travis. The multiple-phase project includes 40,000 sf of office space, a 25,000 sf retail complex and a four-story parking garage. One of the goals of the project was to create a European village market. In order to achieve this, local artisans and craftspeople were chosen to respond to the climate and character of the site with local building materials and found objects.

The development includes two restaurants. Uncle Billy’s Brew & Que is built with rough and reclaimed wood and decorative pressed tin; the brewery and restaurant are distinctly Texas rustic and have a comfortable down-home feeling of traditional barbeque joints. Large garage doors open to the spectacular views of Lake Travis at sunset. The two-story restaurant has generous seating areas, three bars, a private dining room on the lower level with additional seating and an expansive outdoor bar and live music venue on the upper level. Both levels are designed to showcase the largest allowable in-house brewery that operates on both floors of the restaurant.

Soleil, the second restaurant, draws inspiration from the colors for which this location on Lake Austin is best-known – The deep rich blues of the clear lake and the fiery orange and red hues of the setting sun and then sets them against a back drop of weathered and worn muted wood. Generously sized balconies accommodate outdoor seating with excellent views of the sunset while the open perimeter doors invite cool breezes to flow into the core of the restaurant.
