HATCH + ULLAND OWEN ARCHITECTS
The Morris Williams Golf Course first opened in 1964 on the east side of Austin, TX. The existing clubhouse proved to
be undersized and in need of replacement. Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department worked with Erik Ulland of
Hatch + Ulland Owen Architects on the redesign that now includes a pro shop, dining hall, cart barn, along with a
revamping of the golf course landscape.
One of the most appreciated features of this project is the abundance of views at any given point while indoors,
allowing visitors a constant connection to the surrounding golf course and city skyline. In an effort to promote
alternative transportation, bike racks and showers have been installed.
Visitors can enjoy comfort and relaxation on the expansive porch that serves as natural shading for the indoor spaces
by reducing unwanted solar heat gain in the hot climate. Another benefit of the deep porch and overhang is the
ability to have windows that wrap around the building, maximizing daylight and views. In fact, more than 90% of the
interior occupied spaces have views of vegetation and human activity, providing an innovative relationship between
thermal comfort and the quality of visitor experience.

7. Emissions and cost are reduced by decreasing
energy use through improved design. Emissions
are further eliminated by contracting 100% of
the building’s energy to a renewable source.

REDUCES ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Building orientation, high-efficiency window glazing,
skylights, and semi-conditioned spaces are passive
ways The Pro Shop reduces energy consumption
Solar panels provide on-site renewable energy
and reduce the energy costs of the building
The facility received exemplary credit for green
power and on-site renewable energy, doubling the
LEED credit requirement for both

Public agency, non-potable treated water is used
for irrigation. Native, drought-resistant plants and
turf grass further reduce the need for water
Dual-flush lavatories and low-flow sinks, showers and
urinals reduce indoor water consumption
Reducing potable water also reduces energy used to
treat water supply and in domestic water heating
Aside from reducing
irrigation water use,
The Pro Shop has a
non-potable water
source.

include concrete, metal, brick, and lumber
Construction waste is a major element to consider
when diverting materials that go to the landfill
Reducing the amount of material needed and
recycling content can significantly decrease waste

Recycled materials can include materials from the
structural components to the building’s finishes and
are important for preservation of the environment
Pre- and post-consumer recycled materials
include metal, concrete, framing, and
non-permanent fixtures
Certified wood is responsibly harvested which
decreases exposure to harmful chemicals. The Pro
