HoustonIsHome Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Oh my gosh, we got two residential gems downtown this passed cycle. And both in Market Square. I hope next cycle we get even more gems that are as sensitive to theor surroundings as these two. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate4l1f3 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) My only complaint is I wish that they would have stuck with the same dark brown brick that's on the bottom throughout the building. The light brown brick looks too much like stuco... lovely building though! Edited January 16, 2017 by nate4l1f3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just would have looked that much better if they kept that same theme as the base. Oh well, going to be a great addition to downtown. Can't wait for the next batch of res to go up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually got six new residential towers during this cycle if you count the two sky house, the Marlowe, and the Catalyst. I know you emphasized "gems", but in terms of downtown living I count all six as a plus. The court's still out on The Marlowe, but I'm sure the Catalyst will be as nice in its neighborhood as the Ari's is for Market Square. The two Sky House towers are great infill and create a density along with the other apartments either finished or still under construction in that neighborhood, built around the rail. I know its way overused, but I do think this cycle downtown was a major tipping point. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, going to be a great addition to downtown. Can't wait for the next batch of res to go up! The darker brick speaks to the nearby buildings, and tops out about where they do. The lighter brick gives it a bit of a break, speaks to the taller buildings from the 20s - 40s, and makes it feel less massive over Market Square. YMMV, but I like it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bobruss Posted March 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2017 As I have said several times , I think that Ziegler Cooper has done an excellent job of marrying the contemporary glazing and upper level design with the historic base in such a fluid way and the way they have addressed the buildings relationship to Market Square will completely change the feel of this whole;e neighborhood. When it comes alive with people there will be an electricity down here. I can't wait for it to open. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the other blue building lighting.. I'm right there with you on including the whole crown though. I'm not sure why they didn't carry the led lighting down the full sides of the fins, where the mechanical floors are. Ah well.. Aria is looking great. The more it comes along, the more I appreciate how it's style is respectful to the surrounding Market Sqaure neighborhood. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
