Great images everyone- I'd like to toss one of mine into the mix as well. This one, was taken earlier this year with my phone camera, is the pedestrian bridge that spans Memorial Drive near Waugh.

Great photos, looks like all the rain has provided a fresh view on these images.

Williams Tower has a public observatory on one of its mid level floors.

I took this photo from 2323 Shepherd facing East towards downtown.

Enjoy

Hi-

If you are interested in seeing random photos of buildings, events, and scenes from around Houston, in mostly the inner loop, I have been capturing an array of images with a 1.2 megapixel camera phone and posting them at http://xnomad.wordpress.com/

"Located on Stanford Street in Montrose, the contemporary project consists of two townhomes built on an elevated site connected by a plaza with underground parking."

An elevated site. I wonder if they'll be creating an elevation artificially? And the underground parking for 4 cars is not a cheap element.

Sounds like these will be unique homes that will be admired for decades to come. It's about time the townhouse graduated from the elementary designs being slapped up everywhere.

I went by Francois DeMenils Stanford townhomes yesterday during their open house. It does evoke a change in the traditional townhomes being developed all over the inner loop. But that is partially due to the strategic location and elevation of the property. DeMenil capitalizes on the slopes and triangular shaped corner lot to embed the large garages inside the land. Though the garage doors are single car, they both open up to a huge open spaced garage that has a basement type feel.

A couple comments on the common area entry plaza and minimalistic design, the entry doors are well positioned so they arent directly across from each other, but the stairwell windows lend a wide open view into the bedroom of the the adjacent unit.

As for energy efficiency, the 4th floor stairwells are going to be very hot with all the windows, since the return air ducts are on the 3rd floor. The downtown view from corner unit is phenomenal, but the view from the other unit is pretty much obscured by Channel 11 and the corner unit.

Asking prices are $890K - $925K

I agree this has to be controlled better and the city needs to challenged. Are you protesting the project on the corner? It seems like a appropriate place for town homes to me. I mean, its a busy street, not like the townhouses being built 2 houses down from me. Fight the ones in the middle of our small streets! I go to Rudyard's .and that was a bad area. I'd rather have townhouses there than a CVS or something. My2cents.
