Original design was by SOM. Munoz + Albin’s was a concept that was never chosen. Yes, I went to that website. What I can tell is that House & Robertson specialize in being the architect of record/project architect for many flashy design firms (Jean Nouvelle, Frank Gerhy etc.), as you can see by perusing their website they didn’t actually get accolades for designing some of those structures. They did however make them work - which is an art form into its own right. So, I am sorta thinking that maybe they’re not the designers(?), but the project architect… but hey, if they are good for them! They are similar to a firm here locally - Kendall Heaton. That firm served as the project/architect of record for the Beck Building for Rafael Moneo among others. http://www.kendall-heaton.com Edited July 6, 2021 by arche_757 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangledwoods Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I also heard that the "Grand Poobah Architect" is Rem Koolhaas and the "Master Ideation Architect" Renzo Piano. All joking aside KPF are a legit firm, excited to see their name attached. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Highrise Tower Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 The wooden fence around the property has been removed. The road is also being chipped away. I noticed the glass facade mockup has also been removed. Sounds like progress! Looking forward to this one! 19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 KPF huh? That should be a source for optimism for anyone worried about what the end result might look like. KPF is a really good firm. I believe they did one of the newer towers at Hudson Yards. This tower and site is very well within their competence level. I don't know who the Architect of Record is as KPF is based in NYC if I remember correctly. They are a global firm, but I'm not sure if they have any offices in Texas. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are going to see a lot of redevelopment along Post Oak Blvd. in the next 10 years. The Dillard’s site is subject to the sweetheart Joske’s ground lease. I think it runs through the 2040’s. It’s not out of the question to buy out, but certainly an impediment to development as long as Dillard’s doesn’t go bust. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
