tigereye Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) i assume that skywalk connects to the marriott? this is trammel crow's project, right?My thinking is, the skybridge will connet to this project from Marriott Marquis BUT the main purpose of it will be to connect Marriott Marquis to the Hess Tower (which in turn connects it to the rest of dowtown via the tunnels and skybridges) by taking the skybridge that connects to their parking garage.If that happens, it would establish a link of the tunnel system all the way to GRB via skywalks and the Park Shops. Not sure anyone feels about that though lol Edited April 18, 2014 by tigereye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It is a wonderful pool, but they weren't thinking about afternoon sun which is why most people go out to sit by the pool and this looks to loose the sun by early noon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they thought about that. But the combo of the pool amenity and the view over discovery is worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It does look fantastic even without the sun. I would still go there. I would even take the scoliosis from those loungers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Or they could fashion a skylight that reflected the sun onto the deck regardless of time of day. Now that would be cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 In Houston weather I'd much rather it be oriented this way rather than the south or east side. But that's just me. In LA, maybe not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not but we just don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativehoustonion Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 They will get sunrise sun since it is facing east. Urbannizer said there could be a pool on the top floor. Which that could be very HOT with sun almost the whole day until it sunsets to the west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonIsHome Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) I think this is a better alignment than the Hilton top floor pool. At the Hilton you have great views on the westside but the south and east side is bla, and you have no view of the north/ discogreen side. I would rather overlook the park than the roof of the Toyota center anyday Edited April 18, 2014 by HoustonIsHome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernz Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The best example is one park place. They have a huge pool deck, beatifully landscaped, and facing west to get maximum sun exposure. However, in my opinion, they should've have it facing discovery green to get much better views. The would still get some southern exposure.

However, in my opinion, they should've have it facing discovery green to get much better views. The would still get some southern exposure.There is a huge function room and enourmous patio at OPP that faces east on the 8th floor ( same level as the pool). Sun pours in during morning hours. Not the same as the pool facing the green but, quite nice none- the-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Having lived in a midrise, I can say when the sun rises, your entire living space will be flooded with sunlight. eventually, we had to go into an interior room with no windows to sleep late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guess Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 From the rendering, the pool deck is open on the east and west side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
