Belden Automotive
New Design-Build Construction for Mexican Food Restaurant
Las Palapas
As consumers hold onto vehicles beyond the manufacturer’s warranty periods, Belden’s Automotive has experienced tremendous growth. Belden’s has worked with other architects in the past for new facilities, but they have all proven to be very expensive to build and difficult to maintain. Acuform was selected to come up with a more efficient and adaptable solution for one location in far west San Antonio and potentially future locations.
We worked with the Owner to develop a tight and efficient shop and front-of-house layout all within a basic pre-engineered metal building shell. We employed a customer drop-off canopy and upgraded finishes in the customer areas to improve the customer experience.

Associated Equipment Supply Company
New Design-Build Construction for Mexican Food Restaurant
Las Palapas
Acuform was tasked with creating a new facility that better illustrated ASCO’s commitment to service and reflected the brand’s value-based reputation. ASCO needed a value-driven solution to meet their immediate needs with enough flexibility to permit future expansions.
The sales floor was left completely open with a service desk running across the entire back wall to promote ASCO's service department, while plans also included a large training room, which will be used to develop a higher caliber of employees. Acuform worked with corporate executives to define a bold and cost-effective image program reflecting the reputable brands sold and serviced.

Las Palapas
New Design-Build Construction for Mexican Food Restaurant
Las Palapas
Acuform was brought on board in a design-build arrangement to provide architectural and engineering services for a new Las Palapas located in San Antonio’s rapidly growing far west side. The franchisor had plans from a recently completed location that simply did not meet their needs, nor were the construction details coordinated for a smooth construction process.
While the previous facility met the client's needs, we recognized areas for improvement. Acuform reworked the plan to provide a more efficient use of kitchen space, reduce employee travel distances, and increase the amount of patron seating. We also developed a modular yet flexible bar area. The resulting plan for this store has since been replicated across Texas.

New Design-Build Construction for Mexican Food Restaurant
Las Palapas
After assisting the owner with the original construction efforts in 2007, Acuform was engaged to provide professional design services for a complete building remodel. The new design simplifies the overall elevation, incorporating more contemporary building finishes. Accent colors help define different building functions and also serve to direct patrons to the right area.
We amended the elevation and stretched the new cladding to better match the horizontal proportions, as well as to utilize existing columns rather than spending additional money to have them removed. The resulting plan offers a much more contemporary appearance and aims to improve the overall customer experience.

Genesis of NW San Antonio
New Design-Build Construction for Mexican Food Restaurant
Las Palapas
Acuform was hired by McComb’s Automotive to develop plans to house the new flagship line of vehicles from Hyundai North America. The program design employed a clean, modern design reminiscent of the iconic Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. We arranged the site to give great prominence to the building while affording good separation from sales and service activities.
Being among the first Genesis dealerships in North America, Acuform was tasked with solving many of the design challenges that were not properly sorted by the brand administrator. The building features extensive glass walls throughout, an internal atrium garden, and North America’s largest Genesis service facility.

Texas First Rentals Various Locations
New Design-Build Construction for Mexican Food Restaurant
Las Palapas
Acuform was engaged to design the Austin facility, the eighth Texas First Rentals location we have worked on for the Holt Group. Drawing from our experience with sites across Texas, we approached this project with a fresh perspective, creating a more contemporary look and feel to capture the unique Austin vibe, while maintaining the operational efficiency the brand demands.
Using standard pre-engineered metal building systems in a creative way, we delivered a design that met budget goals and accelerated the construction schedule without sacrificing style or function. The facility also features a dedicated equipment wash rack with a reclaimed water system, supporting both operational needs and sustainable practices. This modernized approach sets the Austin location apart from its counterparts while reinforcing the Texas First Rentals brand identity.

Avenue G Apartments
New Design-Build Construction for Mexican Food Restaurant
Las Palapas
Acuform was contracted for architecture and engineering services in connectin with two new garden-style apartment buildings and an amenities center within an established appartment community in suburban Converse. We lead the successful charge to seek a variance from the strict 750 SF minimum apartment size to develop highly desireable one bedroom units. The goal was value driven. Unit plans were efficiently arranged and the finishes were kept modern but basic and the overall building designs were handled to blend within the surrounding structures.

Genuity Drywall
New Design-Build Construction for Mexican Food Restaurant
Las Palapas
We were hired to develop a design for a growing drywall company in San Antonio. We worked with the Owner to create a simple, yet functional layout employing a basic pre-engineered metal building system. While the primary attention was for an open and very functional shop space, we worked closely with the owner to accommodate their employee break areas, offices, conference room and an elegant guest reception space orderly and efficiently.
We added the custom entry, wrap around front porch gave the building a premier street appeal. We selected many custom finishes inside and the Owner added further creative touches to more resemble a high-end custom home than a commercial office building.

Holt Manufacturing Paint and Blast Building
New Design-Build Construction for Mexican Food Restaurant
Las Palapas
Acuform was brought in to assist with the conversion of a former Caterpillar facility to a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for Holt. The project included retooling several buildings and replacing a significant amount of industrial equipment, including cranes, robots, presses, lathes and welders. Coordinating the workflow and processes were instrumental in ensuring all the equipment was positioned correctly with all the structural and MEP requirements being met. Significant structural, mechanical and electrical upgrades were required and several new buildings are planned to accommodate a self-contained paint booth, blast booth and a new burn table room.
