  1. A sad aspect to the redevelopment on Kirby, is the razing of a Karl Kamrath designed building. With the owner's permission, I am salvaging elements for reconstruction. The building, in the spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright, is a true architectural gem. The horizontal lines extend out far beyond the candilevered roof line. The mitered glass windows bring the outdoors inward. The entryway reminds me of traveling down a mine shaft before opening to an expansive room and pillar space. The well positioned pocket windows demonstrate the architect's ability to bring total functionality to his project. The design, not the materials, makes this structure unique to mid-century contemporary buildings in Houston.
