Better than what was there before. I think we can all agree that Contemporary RD is better RD. Definitely not post-modern faux classicist willy-nilly RD, yuck.

HoustonBoy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I don’t understand why they didn’t paint it a dark grey/blue to match the windows closer. There wouldn’t be such an obnoxious color difference with the glass and with the wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wouldn’t be such an obnoxious color difference with the glass and with the wall. This thing and the Tilman Hotel are a blight on the skyline. Coming up from Bellaire you can’t take your eyes off how out of place these two are. I want to say they belong in Vegas or Tampa, but I don’t think they’d pass there. Like a giant white and opposable brown thumb with equally bad proportions/symmetry. I thought we had turned the page from the Montebellos & 1200 Post Oaks. Even the stale apartment towers going up Downtown are good at being bland. They easily blend in and could be over shadowed by a building with a sprinkle of imagination. Not these two... like driving down a fresh 20 lane highway. No amount of tint on your sunglasses can help. BF over. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Went inside today and got a tour of the first floor. Not my style, but I appreciate it. I’ll post photos later today. Left the office this morning and told the director I’m off to take photos of high rises. An hour later she spotted me walking down Westcreek.. I was like haaay Edited March 2, 2019 by ekdrm2d1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) The term might be chic? Edit: gclass calls it "posh" Front desk lobby Gathering place Valet front desk Mail room Hanover BLVD Place was so much cooler! What is up with the leather walls? No thanks! Marble piece by the mail room/front lobby. Leather walls again. Downstairs bathroom Dog park. The glass is my favorite feature of the first floor.

gene Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I actually don't mind it tooooo much to be honest but i think the big chandeliers in the first photo/lobby look dated and out of place in that decor when the rest seems to be more art deco to modern... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its there to advertise the walkability of the neighborhood. Those people won't even need to use the drive-thru. They can just walk there. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because nothing screams "luxury apartment living!" like the prestige of having a Jack-In-The-Box within walking distance. 😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 i think i said this before but my slight ocd hated this building especially as it was being built! my brain just could not comprehend what in the hell was happening haha! but now i gotta say...i love it and every time i see it it keeps my interest and it has grown on me ALOT...unlike all the mostly typical/symmetrical buildings in the area 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
