Challenge

The residents of The Shore condominiums in Austin, Texas, enjoy multiple perks that come from living in the heart of the popular downtown Rainey Street district.

For one, recreational opportunities abound just outside the front entrance. During the day, residents can hop on the nearby hike-and-bike trail that runs along Austin’s beloved Lady Bird Lake. In the evening, the area’s trendy neighborhood shops, restaurants and entertainment venues offer several lively options.

The Shore itself has other amenities focusing on healthy living, such as an exercise facility overlooking the lake and a lap pool on their sixth-floor terrace.

With health and safety a priority at The Shore, the management team wanted to take things a step further. They sought a more reliable way to provide hand sanitizer to residents and visitors than the shoddy, plastic choices on the market.

Solution

When a major winter storm in 2021 necessitated substantial repairs to the lobby, The Shore hired Leslie Fossler Interiors to redesign the space. As plans developed, they discovered a way to permanently incorporate a high-end hand sanitizing fixture in the lobby.

The design firm was drawn to the design and functionality of Vaask’s hand sanitizing fixture. They selected a black and brass fixture that fit in perfectly with the clean, modern aesthetic of the lobby.

“I liked the high-quality finishes of the product and how the touchless sensor works so well,” Leslie Fossler said.

Installed across from the lobby elevators in the path of frequent foot traffic, the fixture is situated perfectly to attract the attention of residents and visitors and encourage frequent use.

For Candice Griswold, a resident of the 22-story condominium, the choice to install Vaask put her mind at ease.

“By installing a permanent hand sanitizing fixture,” she said, “the building management is demonstrating its commitment to keeping everyone safe.”
