All are really great, but I like the contrast in the last photo with this new building in the background and one of Houston's oldest buildings in the foreground. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even notice that all those buildings around "Texas Commerce Tower"* are new. * I, on the other hand, am not new!

ArchFan Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) I am glad to see that at least some developers are choosing designs that prevent otherwise-hideous parking structures from overwhelming the appearance of their projects. My local poster child for the opposite approach is the Aloft Hotel on Westheimer. Perhaps there are worse examples, but I drove by it again today and was still annoyed by it - the ugliest Aloft I've seen.

I work for the company doing the curtain wall on this beast. Thanks for that explanation! I live next door and the crane lights are a new night light Was wondering what was going on. I walk the dog at 5 a.m. and work is going on, come home at 7 and still working, look out the window -- they're still at it 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool (at least to me)! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
