ProjectDeShazo Group was retained to develop a full parking structure design for the Solana mixed-use business park in Westlake, Texas. The five-level garage incorporated a continuous single-helix ramp system to streamline circulation and optimize structural efficiency. The project supported Class A office and commercial users within the master-planned development, balancing performance with aesthetic and spatial constraints.
