The Allen: Mixed-Use Development At Allen Parkway & Gillette St.
MidCenturyMoldy replied to jmontrose's topic in Going Up!
I don't know, maybe it's just a typo or an autocorrection, but if not, it's Freedmen's Town.- 1,655 replies

Medical Office Building At 1103 Bomar St.
MidCenturyMoldy replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Montrose
I had a house on the 1200 block of Bomar for 13 years. That rendering looks more like Sugar Land. Also, I can't help it...even though the original post was made more than 8 years ago...I have to say it...because I'm anal and uptight... "Inversion" was by Dan Havel and Dean Ruck. Not by the Art Guys. -

MidCenturyMoldy replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
That may be so, but the photos still have "HA" on the pillows and "Hotel Alessandra" in the photograph on the TV. -

Am I remembering correctly? Wasn't Charles Renfro the architect who was originally chosen to design the Rice opera house?

When the elevations were first accidentally published, Skyboxdweller pointed out the similarity to the Shah's Palace in Isfahan. -

This reminds me a bit of the Glassell atrium as well as the Kinder to some extant. -

I actually like the building. It has a nice mid-century vibe. Is that optimistic enough for you? -

Yep. The original announcement says preview (of the preview) coverage would begin 30 minutes prior. Who's preparing themselves for disappointment??? Anyway, my "command + shift + 3" fingers are ready! -

Texas Tower: 47-Story Office Tower At 845 Texas Ave.
MidCenturyMoldy replied to democide's topic in Downtown
In late August of 2019 I decided to go check out Understory for lunch. I was walking along the building on the Rusk Street side wondering what-the-eff is wrong with this city that no one builds arcades or some sort of shade devices to protect pedestrians from the killer sun. This building is a welcome change. But is it the beginning of a trend? I personally just can't muster that much optimism.- 2,216 replies

I can't decide which location I would like more. Paramount would have been a block away from Central Market and pretty close to Costco and also near Highland Village and River Oaks District (Central Market being most important). And though I don't like that stretch of San Felipe much, and am especially not overly smitten with Shepherd Drive, being closer to Downtown and near(ish) to Buffalo Bayou might afford some great views from the northeast side corner of the building. Plus that neighborhood behind it would be great for dog walking.

Thank you. I just created a duplicate layer of her. Completely darkened the underlying layer using Levels. Skewed that layer into something approximating a shadow cast in the same direction as that of fence post. Decreased the opacity. Nudged the shadow around a bit to better align with her feet. Flattened the image and resized. Easy-peasy. The direction's a bit off and I could have blurred it a bit but I was in a hurry. Plus her feet still look like they're floating. -

Just found this. It was posted October 16,2021. “[W]e are planning to hold a design sharing event in Houston in mid-November to share preliminary images of the Center and discuss how it will be used to serve the Jamat and the broader community in the Houston area and beyond. We will share these preview images in the near future.” https://the.ismaili/usa/ismaili-center-houston-project-update-the-jamati-institutions- 672 replies

Fairfield Waugh: Multifamily At 1010 Waugh Dr.
MidCenturyMoldy replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
Yeah, I know what you meant. Except it's the morning sun that will be blocked by this. Afternoon sun is already blocked. And that morning sun will be blocked 365 days a year, not just in August. And let's not forget that the first 40 feet or so up from the street is (what seems to be) unadorned parking garage. ETA: If I lived in those apartments across the street, I'd be thinking of moving when the lease is up. Especially when construction starts. If I owned one of those townhouses, I'd be depressed.- 165 replies
