rechlin Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 That two-tone glass really has a 1980s feel to it. I get that feeling even more seeing it in person than in these photos, too. Not saying it's bad, just surprising. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyDriveKid Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/High-style-Museo-medical-office-building-tops-out-16123467.php Museo Medical Office Building, a 10-story, contemporary building at the gateway to the Museum District, celebrated a construction milestone with a topping out ceremony Thursday. Slated for completion this fall, the building is the first phase of a planned mixed-use project spanning three blocks. Testa Rossa Properties, led by Dr. Mike Mann of Mann Eye Institute, is spearheading the development at 5115 Fannin. Real estate broker Brandy Bellow Spinks of CBRE organized the event, which was attended by medical professionals and commercial real estate brokers specializing in health care and life sciences. Marko Dasigenis, a principal at PJMD Architects, designed the building in tandem with Dallas-based Huitt-Zollars. The building features a contemporary angular design inspired by the Cubism art movement. Mission Construction is the general contractor. Museo will be a specialty surgery center for internal medicine specialists, dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other medical and nursing practitioners. Mann Eye Institute will relocate from next door to occupy the 10th floor. Houston-based medical practice Texas Laparoscopic Consultants has leased 9,130-square-foot lease on the ninth floor. Other tenant announcements are coming soon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted April 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2021 Wasn't planning to take pics here but the tower crane is coming down so I had to. I wonder why the have to remove the crane while using San Jacinto St.? Light rail train gets shut down when they do this. Never have spotted a top out tree and I've looked on all four corners. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree that the color scheme isn’t cohesive. The finished product is quite different from the rendering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Eh, I think some people saw what they wanted to see in the rendering. This was always going to be a dated, not terribly inspiring design. That said, I am very glad it was built and hope they can move quickly to the next phases. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Response Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Love the design of the proposed 58 story skyscraper. Don't care if anyone calls it dated or not.

Were they playing the lets use one of each glass type possible drinking game? My understanding is Dr. Mike Mann has wanted to control the course of development pretty tightly. I reckon he’d have signed off on the different types of glass. It.....does not look like what was rendered, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X.R. Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I dunno what y'all are talking about, I like the use of different motifs represented by the glass. What y'all probably aren't thinking about is that in a multi-building development, you'll always want a building that uses all of the types of glass used by the other buildings. It kind of ties the whole development together, like a coda. That building is a coda. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post houstontexasjack Posted May 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2021 If memory serves, the overall design is based on Philip Johnson’s Habitable Sculpture. Some of the older, less glassy, renderings, had a variety of colors. The choices of different colored-glass could be a play on that concept: Link to source of image: https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/market-insight/features/future-nyc/developer-zeroes-site-philip-johnson039s-039habitable-sculpture039/19341 19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post houstontexasjack Posted May 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2021 As I’ve walked by this, I must say the multicolored glass has been growing on me. There’s a hint of whimsy about it. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
