Urbannizer Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 http://offcite.org/the-buildings-of-the-texas-medical-center-through-the-years/ The wildcatter Glen McCarthy’s Shamrock Hotel and Community Center were designed by Wyatt C Hedrick (1949, demolished) and originally planned with a shopping center, ice rink, and highrise apartments. The hotel was demolished in 1986 amid great protest. The epic movie Giant, featuring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean, immortalized McCarthy’s excess. The 1980s also saw a few interesting projects. The most intriguing was Arquitectonica’s brash, postmodern design for the International Medical Complex Building (1982, not built). It was to have been built at Main Street and Old Main Street one block north of Holcombe Boulevard. The International Medical Complex was to have a six-story base containing a shopping mall on the ground level with a parking garage above it. On top of the garage were to be two, sculptural freestanding towers, one containing a hotel and the other medical offices. It was proposed in 1982 and, needless to say, the real estate crash in Houston that followed almost immediately killed plans for its construction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowit Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The best of the dead definitely have to be Jennings Island, Water Lights District, and City Centre Tower. One of my personal favorites was Titan for Uptown but even though I liked the design it wasn't anything special that cant happen some other time down the road. Things like or of similar caliber as Endeavor Parkside will come again but those projects were all very altering for their setting and the city. By the way, its a shame for some of those projects that Galveston never got to see. They've made developments like these very difficult to build on the island but do is it possible that the coastal areas of Brazoria County ever get these type of developments further (and I mean much further, like 10 or 15 years) down the road? There's no interstate access down that way but there's a lot of potential there that can spurt at any given point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 https://kga.design/houston-hospitality-project.html The Houston Hospitality Project consists of one ground-level restaurant, one top-floor restaurant, and an upper-level bar and lounge space with an extensive outdoor terrace capable of hosting special events. Responding to a dense urban site, the design team stacked 9 levels of parking on the rear half of the site, while the ground-level restaurant occupies the forward half to activate the pedestrian realm. The lounge and the top-floor restaurant take advantage of elevated views. Outdoor terrace features such as operable shade canopies, seating around outdoor firepits, a glass movie projection wall and infinity pools flowing into waterfalls make for a dramatic and exceptional nightlife experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 https://jesusvassallo.com/Timber-Towers Timber Towers is a high rise hybrid building built with heavy timber. It departs from the thinned landscape of Downtown Houston, with its extant boxes sitting on semi-empty blocks, to propose a higher density typology in which the parking box, the office tower and the housing complex are merged into a single building that maximizes the capacity of the city grid. The main component of the structure of the building, designed as a hybrid solution in mass timber and concrete, is a series of composite pillars assembled from simpler panels. This hybrid system acts as a honeycomb, allowing for larger loads than standard applications while keeping the number of custom components to a minimum. The use of wood here serves the purpose of rehabilitating or re-humanizing a series of despised typologies, producing a transfiguration of the existing landscape in a proposal that is simultaneously contextual and deeply transformative. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post clutchcity94 Posted December 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) According to the Instagram page of the business Glass Cypress, located at 1711 Indiana Street in Montrose, the owners of the store will be "reinventing a shopping experience by reconstructing three blocks on Indiana Street into a mixed-use commercial subdivision. Indiana Street will metonymically refer to a stretch of real estate in the heart of Montrose which will offer over twenty contemporary luxury goods stores." This was posted on their Instagram page, which has 98,000 followers, two days ago. I did some digging on these guys, and they seem to be early 20-something brothers who recently graduated from UH. For their age, they certainly do appear to have deep pockets. I wonder who is funding this...

The biggest question is how are they going to do this? Do they now own all the lots on these three blocks? (Doubtful). Are they going to do this one lot at a time?
