Urbannizer Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Those facade panels aren’t all the same shade.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cityliving Posted January 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) The pavilion panels on the facade probably just look that way because of how the light shines on them? Or could be that they just need to be cleaned, after all they have been sitting on a pile dirt and mud for awhile before they were installed.

Skyboxdweller Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 21 hours ago, hindesky said: The metal clad building plays EPCOT to Michael Graves' Main Street Fed Reserve building. I'm curious what goes on in the great hall now that its intended use as a workspace for the batching and swapping of checks is not needed as much due to the electronic transfer of funds.

hindesky Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The Allen high-rise adds a dose of modernism to Fourth Ward The downtown area is getting another dose of modernism in the Thompson Hotel/Residences at The Allen high-rise, inching skyward in Jenga-like fashion as workers add floor after floor. The 35-story hotel/condo building and its next-door Lifestyle Pavilion are still taking shape on Allen Parkway across from Buffalo Bayou Park in Fourth Ward, but they already show signs of bringing interesting new architecture to the busy area. HOK Architects, an international architecture firm with a Houston office, designed the building, and Houston-based Abel Design Group handled interiors. “The Lifestyle Pavilion’s exterior is pretty unique,” said Roberto Contreras, president and CEO of DC Partners, the project’s developer. “It is carbon fiber, and you can choose it to look like anything you want. We chose metallic, but when you look at it, you don’t know if it’s metal or plastic. It looks space-age.” Contreras was standing next to a 7-foot LEGO replica of the hotel/condo building and the pavilion, which even shows where the pool will be and has plenty of greenspace to represent the long, winding park across the street. As he spoke about the park as an amenity to hotel visitors and condo owners, walkers and runners zipped past his sales office, which is filled with European furnishings from BeDesign. The Lifestyle Pavilion, which will be open to the public, will have a gym, pool and restaurants and is expected to open by the end of the third quarter or early fourth quarter this year. The hotel/condo building will have 170 hotel rooms on the first 15 floors, and 99 residences on floors 16 through 35. Thompson Hotel is part of the Hyatt Hotel group. The condos will range from 912 square feet to 11,000 square feet andfrom $500,000 to $11 million; they are expected to open in early 2023. Contreras said the building is already 25 percent sold. Condos come with Pedini Italian cabinets and Thermador kitchen appliances, scaling up to Gaggenau appliances for the penthouse levels. The sales office shows potential kitchen floor plans with 10- or 12-foot ceilings and has a room filled with samples of standard finishes including porcelain tile that looks like designer favorites such as Calacatta Gold but without the maintenance issues of marble. Balcony dog potties are a popular amenity in high-rise housing, and The Allen’s version is built into the balcony with a flushable stainless-steel base and natural grass that can be changed out weekly to monthly. No pooch in your future? Opt instead for a small sky garden or just leave the balcony as is.
