Facts


Situated on a distinctive triangular site in San Antonio’s historic Lavaca neighborhood, Trivaca is a bold exploration of contemporary urban living. This exclusive collection of four two-story townhouses represents a unique collaboration between four prominent Southtown architects, each bringing a singular vision to the project while maintaining a cohesive architectural language.

Fisher Heck’s contribution to Trivaca is a sophisticated, contemporary reflection of the neighborhood’s historic fabric. By carefully balancing building proportions and utilizing a regional palette of steel, wood, and stucco, the design feels both innovative and deeply rooted in its context.

The home’s interior is designed for seamless transitions, with primary living spaces and a versatile guest suite occupying the ground floor. These areas flow naturally into a private, lushly xeriscaped courtyard and modular driveway, offering a serene outdoor sanctuary. Upstairs, the retreat continues with two north-facing bedrooms that provide unparalleled, framed views of the Tower of the Americas and the vibrant downtown skyline.
