UtterlyUrban Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Those are cool shots. I had not seen those thin rectangular columns before. My guess is that this was purely a design choice (maybe to maximize window width?) rather than something required by the building's loads. Anyone know?

cloud713 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The thin columns are where the lower pool deck will go. I guess aside from the structural support below the pool, that section doesn't require much reinforcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The "balcony" jettisons on each floor are awfully close to that garage...at least this is good support for there actually being something on that back side. Man, haif would flip shite if that ended up being a 40 story blank wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, haif would flip shite if that ended up being a 40 story blank wall Maybe they have amenity space planned for in there, or something I can't think of, but if those were units, maybe those blocked by the garage come on the cheap.

HoustonIsHome Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I rarely use windows. Getting to live downtown, with cheaper rent and less windows sounds like a win win win to me. I do appreciate a view though, just not from my unit. I'm very odd like that. Always butcher my windows with extra thick drapes. Anyway, if you are asking who would live in a unit facing a huge wall then *raises hand*. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) I rarely use windows. Getting to live downtown, with cheaper rent and less windows sounds like a win win win to me.

Anyway, if you are asking who would live in a unit facing a huge wall then *raises hand*. I would too, personally. Probably not Mrs. nate though. The Director of Domestic Bliss is all over the idea of blackout curtains, opaque screens, etc. OTOH, I'm happy to rely upon 1) shade screens that from the outside might as well be paint during the daytime, 2) fences, shrubs, and trees to screen off the neighbors, 3) the fact that street traffic is going by too quickly to see much, and 4) the certainty that anyone lurking about the back of the shack deserves an eyeful of buoyant Mollusk glory on full display.

nativehoustonion Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 2929 Weslayan is listed at 533 feet tall. 10 feet taller the Pennzoil Place. I thought this tower would be taller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonIsHome Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 4) the certainty that anyone lurking about the back of the shack deserves an eyeful of buoyant Mollusk glory on full display. I am totally comfortable in my skin and don't give a crap who see me. I lived about 9 floors up in a hirise in Toronto and I had no curtains. I had better nights rest sleeping in a semi basement apt in Miami. My window right now faces a blank wall and that is totally fine by me.

toxtethogrady Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I rarely use windows. I guess those extra special windows at the Skyhouse would not appeal to you. I am totally comfortable in my skin and don't give a crap who see me. Then again...Welcome to the Skyhouse! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asubrt Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Not related, but I really like the ballet building from that angle. It's a really cool building, aside from the blank wall, but hopefully something will get built there soon to cover it up. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
