Aha Digital Marketing and Pfluger Architects Act on City of Austin's Efforts to Beautify South Central Waterfront

Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 05, 2014

In support of the Austin City Councils new South Central Waterfront Plan Initiative, two local companies Aha Digital Marketing and Pfluger Architects are unveiling their recently acquired Aha Moment artwork on their co-owned property at 209 E. Riverside. Dr. Aha and Pfluger are among the first private property owners in the South Central Waterfront District to actively support the recently announced Vision + Design Intensive plan for the Central Waterfront.

The Aha Moment sculpture stands 14-feet tall and is approximately 20 feet in length. The piece was created by world-renowned, Napa, California artist, Gordon Huether, whose art can be found across the country, around the world and a little closer to home at the LBJ Library, Houston Hobby Airport, and the Law Building at Texas Tech University. The relationship was formed when Huether sought out Aha Digital Marketing to develop a new website for the artist.

Brad and I are longtime Austin residents, said Aha Founder and CEO, Deborah Pfluger. We love our city, and very much want to support the plan to enhance the visual environment in this district. Working with Gordon on his website introduced us to his work, and we felt it would make a perfect center-piece for our property.

The installation of Aha Moment is the first step in the two companies plans to re-invigorate their property. Their second phase will include new landscaping and accent lighting to enhance the sculpture.

We very much support the citys initiative, added Brad Pfluger, an Austin native and owner of Pfluger Architects. And, we recognize that individual property owners can team up with the city to create even more impact for this very visible gateway to Lady Bird Lake and downtown Austin.

The Austin City Council authorized the South Central Waterfront Plan Initiative in December 2013 after several years of planning. The initiative will establish a vision and provide a cohesive set of recommendations to guide public and private development over the next 20-plus years. The plan aims to facilitate privately developed properties and publicly financed amenities working in tandem to create a beautiful public realm that supports a lively, attractive pedestrian environment, creates great public spaces, and enhances connections to the waterfront.
