Can the Stop Ashby High-rise folks pivot their efforts towards this gas station?

I hope they go weirder than weird - they should have the Menil and Orange Show consulting on this project. Something like the Federal Reserve on Allen parkway but in skyscraper form

Same developers as Lola on Navigation and The Purse near Minute Maid

Great for the city!

I haven't read much on this little park over 59, is this assuming the NHHIP re-routing plans go through?

Wish our street artists were invited to color some of these panels.  Houston is colorful.

The Menil has been cited as a touchstone for these designers but this feels overdressed where the Menil feels relaxed.  This is a tasteful linen seersucker suit where none was required.

Seems like it breeds not community-centric, but institutional, activity

personally I like how they're leaning into the "Menil architecture is Houston architecture" narrative. I think it goes well with the Ismaili Center across the bayou too

I like graffiti walls as much as the next guy but every city west of the Mississippi uses them to show they have "culture"

now, if by street artists you meant the Orange Show and by "color" you meant "decorate", then I could be persuaded 😄
