EllenOlenska Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I note this because it is the building that had Cafe Eccell move much to the chagrin of a few of my friends. (Eccell is now over on Texas on the Bryan-CS border.) It looks to be an apartment complex called the Domain (there are somewhat pedestrian renderings of it out there) but I only know that after some relatively casual googling.

EllenOlenska Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 A bit different looking than the renders--somewhat looming if pedestrian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Looks like a scaled down version of many Houston projects I've seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Better than stucco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Wow, I have not been over that way in a while. I thought it was going to be a highrise. Or at least that is what I was wanting to go there. Still an improvement for Northgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Better than stucco? Actually...yeah. Hardy Plank is the absolute low on my materials list. It's just plain aweful. At least with stucco its a real material with texture and you can make it look good. Hardy Plank is just sooooo cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 So this is where Café Eccel used to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 So this is where Café Eccel used to be? Yes, and Cafe Eccel moved to where Luby's use to be on Texas Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Having seen it in real life, the Hardie board siding is cheap, especially the slim cut and the nasty yellow paint used. It looks unfinished, though painting it a dark brown could probably lessen the nasty visual effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenOlenska Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 This turned out much better than I expected (since the bar was so low.) The greenery around and climbing the fence is rather nice in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
