The Mark
Scope/Solutions
Designed as off-campus housing for UT Austin students, The Mark offers 263 units, ranging from studios to six-bedroom apartments. The seventeen-story building includes a variety of amenities, including community lounges and gathering spaces, a fitness center, and a rooftop pool. SGH assisted with the building enclosure design for the project located just a few blocks west of campus.
SGH consulted on the design and detailing for below-grade waterproofing, panelized exterior wall assemblies, windows, balcony and amenity deck waterproofing, and roofing. Highlights of our work include:
- Recommending ways to improve function and performance with respect to thermal efficiency, condensation, and air- and watertightness.
- Reviewing the delegated design for the panelized exterior wall assembly and proposing methods to improve panel joinery, water management, flashing details, and constructability
- Helping develop complex transition details at amenity deck curbs, railings, parapets and rooftop planters
- Visiting the site to observe ongoing work and installation of the enclosure systems to compare with the construction documents and project requirements
- Conducting water penetration resistance testing on installed windows

SkyHouse Dallas Parking Deck
The Skyhouse Dallas comprises a high-rise apartment building and adjoining eight-level parking garage. During construction of the precast, prestressed concrete parking structure, the project team observed cracks and spalling in several lightweight concrete double tees. SGH was retained by the general contractor to peer review proposed repairs by others.
