BRAVA Residential Tower and Retail Mixed-Use Houston, Texas

Client Hines

Brava is a 46-story luxury apartment tower that is the tallest multifamily high-rise in downtown Houston. It features panoramic views of the Central Business District, Market Square Park, Sesquicentennial Park, and Buffalo Bayou.

Architect of Record Kirksey (House + Partners) Rotating the building diagonally to Houston’s grid provides wider, uninterrupted views from all residential units. The massing and geometry of the tower are a response to Interior Architecture the building’s immediate context, maximizing long-distance views, natural light, and direct views of Market Square Park. Munoz Albin (A project of Erick Ragni’s while owner and principal at MaRS)

Size 782,152 SF Total Area 6,804 SF Retail Area 46 Floors Residential Units: 373 Completion 2022

The tower has a slender outline on both sides. One of the thin sides is defined by undulating balconies, creating a dynamic twisting shape that rises up the building. This unique architectural feature and distinctive massing is a deliberate departure from the standard expectation of the high-rise residential building. Vehicular access is from Preston Avenue and a generous motor court was designed in direct relationship with the lobby, creating a strong and dignified entry sequence. The parking garage contains eight levels with capacity for 517 cars. Level 10, on top of the parking podium, is dedicated to residential amenities.

The glass sail on the northeast face of the building terminates on a sloping vertical line spanning the entire height of the tower. This line drifts in and out along its edge creating an interesting twisting volume on the building. This effect gives the illusion of a sail being stretched by the wind.

Munoz Albin was engaged by Marathon to study possible relocation sites and master planning strategies that would best prepare them for their future growth. We advised them on sites and helped them find a new location that best fit their progressive workplace expectations. The master planning and programming effort resulted in a build to suit corporate headquarters building in the Energy Corridor that delivers a modern working environment where integration, engagement, digital technology, connectivity, workplace environment, and branding are carefully crafted to Marathon’s needs. Marathon is proud of their corporate culture and truly focused on their employee’s satisfaction and retention. They wanted to build the best office place for their employees and provide a diverse setting to conduct their business. Marathon aspired to integrate into an urban environment that would promote work-life integration and give their employees convenient access to quality retail opportunities and a daily connection to nature.

IBM Office Tower and Retail Mixed-Use Austin, Texas

Client IBM Hines Architect of Record Kirksey Size 507,000 SF Completion 2027

IBM will be the anchor tenant for a vertical campus class AA office building on the north side of The Domain, an area referred to as Austin’s second downtown. IBM is consolidating and relocating its Austin operations into this next generation office space. The highly amenitized, state-of-the-art building is conveniently located off the main expressway, Loop 1 MoPac. The building is owned and operated by Hines. IBM occupies 60% of the overall building, and the remaining office space is available for lease. IBM, which has 250,000 workers worldwide, does not break out local employment numbers. However, the Austin Chamber of Commerce estimates the company has about 6,000 local employees. With the opening of the new campus, IBM will leave its long-term offices in a nearby area. Munoz Albin was engaged by Hines and IBM to create a clear vision into what the future of the office space should look like. The building design needed to be a distinguished, elevated experience for their workforce. Hines and IBM, both global organizations, share symmetry in their perspectives of what the office represents going forward and this project delivers an environment that all parties will be proud of well into the future. “This new location offers an opportunity to create a modern new experience for Austin-based IBM employees,” said Joanne Wright, IBM Senior Vice President, Transformation & Operations. “Our vision is to create an environment where employees can gather to collaborate and innovate with colleagues and our clients.”

Leading the building industry, the building will place a heavy emphasis on ESG. It is being designed for LEED Gold certification and will seek WELL Platinum, Wired Score Platinum, and Austin Energy Green Build distinctions. “New York-headquartered IBM was an early pioneer of Austin’s tech sector, with operations here since 1967, and the move is a sign that the company will continue to invest in Central Texas. It’s just creating a modern environment to help improve productivity and get our people excited about coming back to collaborate,” according to Dexter Henderson, senior local executive for IBM Austin The site is an irregular triangular shape with one side abutting the feeder for the expressway. The result of this is a V-shaped plan with two conjoined office blocks or towers at 14 stories high resting on a podium of shared parking. Each tower has independent cores, restrooms, elevator banks, and lobbies. The entirety of the West Tower is devoted to IBM, with their dedicated lobby off the main vehicular entrance. The East Tower is a mix of partially leasable open office or full IBM floors that are conjoined to the West Tower.

The ‘front’ of the building is the southwest facing side of the building. This is the preferred location for the main entrance, lobbies, landscaped garden, retail component, and open space because the adjoining road is the main northern vehicular access to the Domain area. Additionally, the southern exposure has the added benefit of natural light and open views. The open side of the V-shaped office above cradles a vertical garden and upper amenity deck on the 9th level. Catering to the needs of the modern workforce, tenants will experience the main landscaped deck, outdoor sports amenities, and a high-end fitness and conference center. Many of the upper floors of both towers have private balconies that open toward this amenity and direction. The broadest brushstroke of the building’s design is centered around the split allocation of office space and semi separation between the two office towers. Paradoxically, it wants to be simultaneously connected but separated. The two main masses gradually pull away from one another with a curving connection at the intersection point, giving the impression that it is a borrowed element or two limbs.

Each of the two office building volumes are divided into two separate masses, inward facing and outward facing. The outward volumes have smooth glazing with less detail because the perception of these outward facing facades is mainly from fast moving freeway traffic or from a narrow street to the east. On the façade facing the freeway the design can be broken into two distinct cladding applications, a glass volume and a masonry podium. The glass volume drapes over the masonry box towards the main entrance at the prominent corner. In contrast, the glass envelope surrounding the courtyard has a more textured solution, with fins attached to its curtainwall. The courtyard side of both

buildings directly interacts with its users, as office workers come in direct contact with it on the 9th floor amenity and have interior workspace views to it. These inward facing facades have colored fins along its surface and terraces along its façade to give them a level of visual acuity. On the south east corner of the building above the lobby of the East Tower there are a playful layering of terraces and overhangs. Its staggered look and collision of forms peal away it the edge, it’s both interlocking and gear like. The interior form with its intricate patterning is allowed to leak out of its internal confine and disrupt the edge, a curve form gives way to a sharp corner and back again.

Client Hines Architect of Record Tekne Size 256,450 SF (23,825 m2) 50 Luxury Units Retail on Ground Level 3 Levels of Underground Parking Completion 2013

This three-building, mixed-use development was designed on a sloping pedestrian street, transitioning from the historical district of Corso Como to the Porta Nuova District and creating a new urban landscape. It is the response to a unique urban site that defines a new concept of living. One challenge was the requirement for vibration separation for all buildings above ground due to existing underground train tunnels. The composition was carefully modulated to seamlessly integrate the new buildings with the surrounding cityscape, while maintaining a modern and autonomous identity.

In an 84-acre industrial zone on the Mediterranean Sea in Barcelona, Spain, Hines developed a large-scale, mixed-use project consisting of 1,400 condominium units with retail, a regional shopping mall, three Class A office buildings, three hotels, and a limited rental property. At the center of the development is a 42-acre park with three lakes. This project promoted the development of the entire neighborhood.

Illa del Mar, Island of the Sea, is the last phase of a mixed-use, 24-building master plan in Barcelona known as Diagonal Mar. The building is set in a 42-acre park with beach access to the Mediterranean Sea. The master plan is a ‘tower in the park’ vertical living typology that has the same population density as central Barcelona per acre. The park space is called Diagonal Mar and is a city-owned park for public use. The park is a unifying element that is natural and ecologically sustainable for the entire development and balances and restores some of the original natural resources and wetlands to the area. The park is surrounded by five residential condo buildings, primarily composed of two vertical buildings connected by podiums. Each of these buildings provides a mixed-use amenity package for the residents with the ground levels dedicated to retail use. The project offers two levels of underground parking, as well as amenities that include a heated swimming pool, paddle tennis court, playground, fitness area, and community rooms. The taller tower has been designed with six residential units per typical floor, which the smaller tower has four units per floor. Both offer larger two-story penthouse units with hot tubs and terrace gardens with enlarged living rooms. The original master plan was modified to maximize and enhance the sea views and green vistas. In the planning stage of this building, it became clear that concentrating the density of three buildings in Illa del Mar would produce the best results. Therefore, the master plan was adapted and morphed into a larger program for the Illa del Mar building. As the master plan developed over a six-year interval, the five phases of residential building design experienced an evolution in their architectural expression, from marginally conservative to contemporary. The client wanted the final phase, Illa del Mar, to depart from its predecessors and be the contemporary

masthead of the entire development. Located at the premium edge of the master plan with unobstructed sea views, the presence of the ocean and the beach provided unlimited inspiration. The shapes of the towers were inspired by the geometric abstractions of the wind being caught by a sail. Sharp at the edges contrasting with curves, a frozen moment in motion, captured movement. The sculpted shapes are achieved with manipulation of the balcony depths, and the balconies wrap around the entire tower on all sides. They are ‘livable’, which means they are intended for nearly year-round use and can be an extension of the living areas or used as exterior living spaces. They are protected from the wind by hanging brise soleil. The balconies are spatially defined by glass railings that are mounted vertically in front of the cantilevered slab. This design allows the balcony railing to drop below the slab level, which provides wind and sun protection to the terraces below. The exterior perception of the building volume is continuous rather than a series of horizontal bands. The tilted effect of the massing is accomplished with the undulating cantilevered balconies, the deepest at 11-feet. The depth of the balconies varies to create the large gestures and movement on the façade.

The two towers work together through their large-scale, multi-faceted folding shapes. As one tower’s volume recedes as it climbs upward, the second tower does this in reverse, expanding at its middle point and then receding toward the bottom. The towers are conjoined through the podium base, which is also wrapped and sculpted, and the intended overall result is a continuous shape that is unfolding. The connector building between the two towers floats, lifted off the ground, with openings and see-through views. The plasticity and playful environment of Diagonal Mar Park, designed by Enric Miralles, dialogues with Illa del Mar with similar sensations of movement and airiness. The building has a double skin. There is an internal envelope of glass and structure where the building places its structural support in line with the outer walls of the units. The longer dimension of the columns is placed parallel to this façade using the width of the column as part of the building enclosure, reducing the quantity of façade material. This internal envelope has a decorative pattern of two-toned frit dots on the laminated glass that reflect light and represent the behavior of light reflecting and passing through water.

create a grid of color applied to the internal volume. The project has an integrated sustainability approach for energy efficiency, both passive and active. Passive measures include the use of natural ventilation, and the building’s orientation takes advantage of local prevailing winds. The deep terraces provide shade to the dwelling units and greatly reduce air conditioning loads. Additionally, the fritted glass in the brise soleil contributes to reduction of solar gain within the units. Active systems such as PV panels on the roof support

residential hot water needs, heating the pool, and provide electricity for common area lighting. Rainwater is collected on the roofs and then filtered and stored in tanks for use in irrigation and the emergency fire repression system.

ILLA DEL LLAC Double Tower and Low-Rise Condominium Barcelona, Spain

Client Habitat Hines Architect of Record BST KM+P (Designed while employed by KM+P) Size 432,000 SF (40,000 m2) Condominium Units: 321 Two Towers, a Mid-Rise and a Low-Rise Completion 2002

Illa Del Llac is a mixed-use retail and residential complex consisting of two towers, one mid-rise and a loft low-rise building. It is the first phase of the Diagonal Mar Master Plan, located next to the Mediterranean Sea and at the end of Avenida Diagonal, one of the main thoroughfares in Barcelona. Diagonal Mar occupies a former industrial site and comprises several “residential islands” as well as a large commercial mall, hotels and convention facilities among other uses. The project is anchored by a large 40 acre public central park designed by Enric Miralles. Illa del Llac is comprised of four buildings: two 22 stories twin towers, a 10 story mid-rise building and a 3 story loft building. The two towers and the loft building are aligned on its south façade, creating a clear edge definition for the central park and lake. The alignment of the towers allow for units with ocean views as well as city and mountain views. The buildings define an interior courtyard where the buildings’ amenities are located: pool, decks and gardens, picket ball courts, etc. At the time when Illa del llac was designed, high-rise ametinized residential buildings were a rarity in Barcelona, so these buildings were highly innovative in this particular market. The architecture of the towers set the tone for the mid-rise and the low-rise components. A series of curved balcony railing components create a frame that is detached from the main core tower with four corner balconies with views of the sea and city. The core tower is expressed on a rhythmically punched window façade to the north and south facades of the building. The attitude of the massing and architecture, as well as its roof structure, is an attempt to respond directly to the presence and direction of the city of Barcelona that sites perpendicular to its facade.

Client ESPAIS Hines Architect of Record TD&A Size 333,300 SF (30,975 m2) Condominium Units: 233 Two Towers Two Mid-Rise Completion 2004

Illa Del Bosc is a mixed-use retail and residential complex consisting of two 18 story towers and two low-rise buildings built on top of two levels of underground parking. It is part of Diagonal Mar and the group of buildings is on the south and middle of the Diagonal Mar Park. The project had a limited construction budget compared to the other phases of Diagonal Mar. As a result, the envelope of the building is comprised of an economically punched window scheme with precast wing walls flanking each side of the towers. The rear of the towers, furthest from the sea, are pushed out volumetrically giving the units on the back of the towers a primary sea view. The tower responds to market conditions by offering smaller units on the lower five levels. The units increase in size in ascending order, culminating in two large double story penthouses at the top of the building. Two low-rise buildings connect the two towers on a diagonal creating a central courtyard with pool and other amenities. The building’s amenities enjoy a direct view and immediate relationship of the Diagonal Mar Park.

EDIFICIO BILBAO Condominium Tower Barcelona, Spain

Client ESPAIS Local Architect MSA+A Size 64,217 SF (5,966 m2) Condominium Units: 42 Completion 2008

Edificio Bilbao is a mixed-use project with retail, residential units, and underground parking. The building is prominently situated on Barcelona’s seaside park, Parc del Poblenou. It has unhindered views of the Mediterranean Sea and occupies the corner of its block and is fronted at ground level with a palm tree lined pedestrian corridor. The architecture responds to the strong corner condition with a fenestrated rectangular box that protrudes from the tower. The box is contrasted by its adjacent texture of framed balconies and horizontal banding of colored glass balcony rails. A wafer thin horizontal blade like shading device crowns the tower creating an a visual separation between the building and the roof. This architectural feature provides a sense of scale and monumentality by completing the tower and reducing the heft and bulk of the tower with lightness.

Residential Units: 263 Hotel Keys: 18 Completion 2021

The Residences at La Colombe d’Or is a unique apartment project in Houston, as it is part of a boutique hotel that will bring a high level of service to its residents. The new high-rise building is part of a larger development that includes the current La Colombe d’Or historical mansion, as well as a pocket park at the northwest corner of the site. The base of the building responds to the existing mansion using a traditional architectural expression including fenestration, limestone, and highly articulated detailing, all tied together with a conscientious landscape design. Contrasting with this traditional approach, the apartment portion of the project emerges as a vertical statement of modern architecture, composed of a vertical box volume with a series of floating planes encompassing it. The swimming pool and outdoor amenity deck on the 10th floor and on the east side have views of downtown, while the tower offers unique and large livable balconies with panoramic downtown views.

One of the design challenges on La Colombe d’Or tower was to create a transition solution between the current hotel mansion and the tower. The tower base responds to the presence of the historic hotel adjacent to it by breaking the scale of the podium very intentionally.

The access points to the project and the permeability of the ground floor of the tower are ample and designed in character with the boutique hotel. Intimate outdoor dining spaces, as well as transitional spaces, have been created to achieve attractive livable open spaces surrounding the building.

Client ESPAIS Hines Architect of Record TD&A Size 202,300 SF (18,800 m2) Hotel Keys: 366 Levels: 32 Completion 2004

The Hotel Princess in Barcelona, Spain is a full-service hotel built on a 0.12-acre triangular site that is formed by the most prestigious boulevard in the city, Avenida Diagonal. The towers were placed on the triangular site to capture the best views of the Mediterranean Sea and the City of Barcelona. The program did not require parking since the building is located next door to the Diagonal Mar shopping center, which offers plenty of parking for both facilities. With two levels of underground service areas, the hotel was conceived with four levels of public areas and two towers of 26 and 24 levels. One tower has a double-loaded corridor in a rectangular shape with one of its edges cut at an angle, creating a space for a fire stair. The panoramic elevators and the room service areas were placed on the opposite side of this stair. The second tower was conceived as an independent triangular tower to address the nature of its site and context. This tower is connected to the core by a glass-enclosed corridor that appears to float between the two volumes. This element allows for light to penetrate through in the mornings and become an illuminated urban lamp in the evenings. The positions and geometry of the two towers produce a very inviting public space in the middle with a triangular infinity pool that celebrates its form, both of which are visible to most guests as they experience the glass bridge or look out of their room’s window. The building is environmentally responsible due to passive and active elements in its design. The rooms with west and east orientation are protected with a fritted glass brise soleil and a portion of the hotel’s energy comes from the solar panels that cover its roof.

The motor court will be treated as an outdoor room clad in natural stone, as well as back-lit glass. Within the podium mass there is a back-lit secondary volume that compresses the scale at the corner and acts as an urban lantern at the intersection of Olive Street and Victory Park Lane.

The overall project was conceived with three different volumes, each with its own character, identity, and function: •

The exposed concrete tower structure anchors the tower vertically to the ground with its mass and visual continuity. The two side walls are cast-inplace concrete that are 39 floors tall. They support the structural dead loads of the tower and act as shear walls. These giant planes are punctured with unit windows and become an arcade of columns on the ground level and parking levels. This arcade at the ground level is defined by columns on one side and low iron glass that’s highly transparent on the opposite side at the public facing lobby and building entrance. These walls and columns come in direct contact with the sidewalk and public realm, allowing for a very vertical interaction and impression.

•

The second dominant massing feature is the glass volume. It appears to float in space as the mass looks detached and hovers over amenity and podium. The glass volume projects outward with the use of structural cantilevers. Each of its sides are open to balconies that are deep, protected, and ‘livable’, being deeper than market standards. Additionally, there is a break in the volume at the top levels where the ‘sky lobby’ is located on level 36.

•

The third volume is a horizontal bar that is clad in limestone, a podium base element. It balances the

•

An important consideration for the project as a whole was to establish a relationship with the community from an urban scale and a pedestrian scale point of view. The activation of the street edges is proposed with retail and inviting patio opportunities on Victory Park Lane, as well as on Olive Street. Specially manufactured clear glass walls allow a seamless connection of the lobby spaces with the street. In the same manner, long solid walls were avoided and a landscaped urban pocket park enhances the corner on Victory Avenue.

Residential Units: 233 Completion 2017

A primary design objective was to accentuate the tower massing while minimizing the inherent weight of the podium garage. This was achieved by careful layering of architectural devices such as interlocking masses that provide depth, framed features that pull and wrap elements, deep cuts to dissect a mass’s reading, and dominant vertical planes that project and hover from the normal building façade. All of these features culminate to make a building that is visually appropriate to its distinctive neighborhood where art and culture meet a residential area.

CIRRUS LOGIC CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS Corporate Headquarters - Office Tower, Retail Mixed-Use Austin, Texas

Client Cirrus Logic Cypress Real Estate Advisors Architect of Record House and Partners Size Office: 136,000 GSF Parking Spaces: 315 Completion 2012

On a 1.33-acre site adjoining Shoal Creek, the objective of this project was to develop a new corporate headquarters for Cirrus Logic with office and laboratory space, as well as a parking garage. The setting of the building allows for close weaving and interaction of the Shoal Creek natural trail system with the active urban scene of 6th Street, creating a new means of creek access to the area residents. The building mass is articulated with a direct connection from West Avenue to the creek. Shoal Creek is further activated with a public restaurant and terrace overlooking the creek. The Cirrus Logic Headquarters is a build to suit corporate office building. The building shape responds to the internal programmatic requirements, as well as massing, envelope, and height constraints (capitol view corridor restrictions) required by the city of Austin. Integration of the Shoal Creek trail system to the city was a fundamental requirement of both the community and the city. This became an important design parameter that strongly influenced the design of the building. The building is clad with zinc panels, yielding horizontal bands that simulate the siding of the residential buildings in the surrounding neighborhood. Irregular windows are placed in a random pattern that spans two stories. This effect allows for street perception of a 4-story building rather than the actual 6 stories, helping to blend in with the style of the neighborhood. The building did not pursue LEED status, but sustainability standards comply with Austin Energy Green Building standards including the use of transparent, highperformance glass to integrate the internal activity with the outside.

The Actual Condominium Tower is a very slender 56-story tower on a 49-foot-wide site. The site is a through block parcel that is located midblock between Madison and Park Avenues and connects 29th Street and 30th Street. The development of the site relied upon the purchasing of air rights of its neighboring properties, and it had to comply with New York City’s zoning restrictions. The slenderness and height of the tower required a structural dynamic stabilizer at the top of the tower. The project proposed a two-story amenity space in the middle of the tower with an additional amenity space above the penthouse. Working within the confines of the adjacent buildings was challenging, along with the core and other structural components consuming a large amount of usable space. The units had to work around these constraints while offering the optimal views expected in a New York City condominium marketplace.

The MorningStar at River Oaks Senior Living facility is designed to create a special residential destination for seniors in the Upper Kirby and River Oaks communities, some of Houston’s most affluent neighborhoods. A joint venture partnership between Hines and Denver-based MorningStar Senior Living, this 6-story facility provides 112 assisted living and memory care units ranging from 400 to 850 square feet. Upon arrival, visitors and guests are welcomed to a covered motor court that is directly connected to the project lobby and garden courtyard. A double-height space that is flanked by two stone walls acts as a funnel shape that reaches outward toward the side street. This architectural feature provides shelter and clearly delineates the entrance announcing a main pedestrian and vehicular arrival point. The building’s primary facades front Revere Street and Richmond Avenue. Due to Richmond’s velocity and traffic, the entrance was strategically located on Revere. The building is composed of three distinct components, two of which are distinct brick masonry masses. The lighter beige-colored rectangular mass faces west with framed out glass end pieces on its ends. The brick work is raked horizontally with recessed patterning to visually tie the windows together. This mass hovers over the motor court and the sculpted glass at the ground level. This design feature, paired with courtyard design and location, allows for natural light to be pulled into the center of the building. In contrast, the red brick masses act as a grounding element and firmly plant the building to the site.

This 6-story community has the feel of a boutique hotel with the comforts and convenience of a high-end residential building. It offers a rich variety of lifestyle options for older adults. The design of the building emphasizes spaces to allow residents to participate in a multitude of experiences, like taking classes based on their personal interests, dining options, communal activities, salons, and day trip recreational programs. Amenities include a terrace and lounge with views of downtown, an interior courtyard, fitness and therapy area, beauty salon, and five-star dining opportunities. The building’s design is specifically tailored to its residents. Designed to foster independence, the interior and public spaces provide autonomy; are legible; physically support mobility; and provide operationally driven criteria and standards for toileting, bathing, sleeping, dressing, and personal care. Safety is a primary concern for the residents, and furniture and fittings allow for freedom of moment, stability, comfort, and injury prevention.

Bound within a tight 4.46-acre site, this master plan’s intention is to create a highly active urban environment and a people’s place by capitalizing on the strength of the project’s location next to a newly designed park. The design includes a free standing “jewel box” restaurant pavilion as the centerpiece of the open space design. Three large building components – an office, hotel, and residential tower – share common spaces, amenities, and parking, further reinforcing the sense of place and community created by the project. To squeeze the diverse set of uses on this site, a shared central parking structure occupies the center of the project. It employs a helixing strategy so that office parking is not co-mingled with multifamily uses and is able to maintain a strict sense of separation with alternating parking decks.

The primary views allow for clear views of the historic town of Alcala de Henares, as well as the campus of the University of Alcala de Henares. As an anchoring building in the master plan, it proposed a dramatic layering of glass waves in tower form. The curved glass appears to ripple and contrast with the more solid vertical mass on the back side. The two cladding types work together to accentuate a pulling apart and movement in the massing. At the top of the tower, the glass undulations step back to the balcony terraces and a floating curvilinear glass fin. The tower terminates into the sky with a dramatic skeletal brow-like shading device.

Client Midway Size 461,000 SF Retail: 17,680 Completion 2020 Study

Levy Park’s newest Class A, 15-story, mixed-use office building is the latest installment to Levy Park’s perimeter. It is planned as a multi-tenant building with a large portion of its area dedicated to one anchor tenant. The architecture of the tower is defined by the shifting and stacking of glass and perforated screened masses. A distinctive pair of shifting glass boxes with deep inset landscaped recesses sit atop two screened boxes. The recesses, ledges, and intermediate roof areas are adorned with landscaping and gardens. Making for an alternating effect of buildings and horizontal bands of greenery, the elevated landscape is an effort to bring the park to the building. Occupying the remaining corner lot at the perimeter of Levy Park, the tower space attracts top-tier tenants to its mixed-use development. The amenity-rich neighborhood and immediate access to Levy Park makes this project exceptional in the Houston area. There simply aren’t many public parks like Levy Park. It is an urban oasis that is bustling and well planned with mature oak trees, a performance area, pavilions, food offerings, trails, wetlands, and a playground. The bulk of the office space contains 45-foot leasing depths in the form of the tower at the highest floors. The building’s lobby is positioned off the park, extending the pedestrian-focused master plan westward. A large majority of the ground floor is dedicated to retail. The retail fronts and patios spill out onto the landscaped area at the edge of the park. The main entrance at the corner of the building also opens toward the park. If and when it is completed, it will provide yet another directly connected pedestrian focused building design to the Levy Park Master Plan.

Client Midway Architect of Record Kirksey Size 325,600 SF Retail: 12,382 Completion 2026

CityCentre Six, a Class A, 19-story, mixed-use office building, is the latest installment to the CityCentre District. It will be a multi-tenant building with a large portion of its area dedicated to one anchor tenant. CityCentre continues to attract top-tier corporations to its revitalized mixed-use development. The amenity rich neighborhood is an urban oasis that is sophisticated and well planned. Keeping with this effort, part of CityCentre Six’s development plan, in conjunction with Marathon Oil’s headquarters building, was to build a public park. Both buildings would position their lobbies off of the park, growing the pedestrianfocused master plan of CityCentre northward. Almost the entire ground floor under the CityCentre Six tower is dedicated to retail. The retail fronts and patios spill out onto the landscaped plaza under cover of a protected colonnade. The main entrance is at the center point of the building and its entrance sequence flows through two sets of colossal V-shaped columns. Two office level terraces also open toward the plaza. The bulk of the office space contains 45-foot leasing depths in the form of the tower at the highest floors. This glassy bent mass rests on an efficient three-bay parking podium. The office core slices through the parking levels. A lower level of the building has a double-height collaborative loft office space facing the park. The design of the building’s massing responds to its neighbor by carving away at its lower levels to create a visual eddy on the north side of the tower and parking garage.

The Autry Park Development is an urban village on Buffalo Bayou that stretches southward to fill in the master plan that includes new and exciting shopping and dining opportunities, as well as a central park. The plan also includes two office buildings on the southeastern perimeter. The first is a boutique mid-rise office building with retail planned for its ground floor. The structure of this office building is an innovative use of cross-laminated timber for the floor and ceiling decks used in conjunction with a steel frame. It will be the first publicly proposed cross-laminated timber office project in the City of Houston. The design showcases the heavy timber as a primary design element, exposing the highly visible wood in the soffits. Many local office buildings have highly reflective dark glass. We deviated from this precedent with highly transparent glass and wood fins. The vertical wood planks that adorn the curtainwall also act as passive shading and light filtering devices.

SECOND AND STEELE Residential Building Denver, Colorado

Client Hines Size 155,000 SF 4 Levels of Residential and Retail Residential Units: 90 Completion 2021 (Study)

The Cherry Creek neighborhood in central Denver is known for its walkability and urban planning and is a success story for zoning regulations and community planning. Its density and growth are highly regulated and controlled by local authority, community participation, and partnerships. The zoning restrictions overlayed on this site required a compact building, not exceeding four stories. This project would add to the soft edge of this zone. A low-rise, luxury, multifamily building was studied on this site with retail provisions at the ground floor. The massing and design were inspired by fluid forms that can be found in Cherry Creek, a nearby water feature that cuts through the city of Denver. Instead of fronting the entire building on the main street, half of the length steps back with a landscaped terrace. This also served to add a bend in the apartment level corridor to limit the long run perception. To encourage outdoor living, the private patios are oversized and grand enough to accommodate a large seating group in most cases. The high contrast coloration of the forms intentionally accentuates the undulating balcony banding, with a manganese black brick wall and floor to ceiling glass in the recesses. A portion of the amenities were located on the roof for the local and mountain views and include a heated pool and lush landscaped verandas.

FUTURE PHASE

Levy Park was once hidden away in Houston’s Upper Kirby neighborhood in need of renovation. As the neighborhood’s only public green space, it was important that Levy Park become accessible and densely programmed with a focus on multi-use spaces. Munoz Albin and OJB Landscape Architecture transformed the 5.9 acres into an urban park that leverages environmental and social sustainability practices and serves as a premiere destination for the region. The project involved master planning the site for an urban park, an office building, and a multifamily project. Existing land parcels were swapped and re-platted to achieve the overall program, conciliating sometimes conflicting public and private interests. The Levy Park project responds very closely to the immediate context and program and includes unique planning solutions that are tied to the site, program, and the new buildings. The project’s components – park, office building, and multifamily – completely transformed the area into a world-class urban public space. Levy Park has become a center of community activity for the area, achieved through the careful positioning of the buildings and their massing to promote sunlight, as well as the intense programming of the park and the integration of an extensive children’s area, two activity lawns, a performance pavilion, dog park, community garden (urban harvest), and promenade. A renovated streetscape provides an inviting environment and strengthens pedestrian and vehicular connectivity to the park, while the promenade, lined with trees, food trucks, game carts, and moveable furniture, circles the park and creates synergy and connections among the various spaces. Class A office space with extensive retail use, residential space, and dining

amenities were integrated on two of the park’s corners to provide complementary amenities for park patrons. The buildings’ pedestrian access were carefully placed to enhance park activation, and both the office and multifamily buildings maintain a continuous high level of occupancy. The lower levels of the office building contain double height collaborative loft office spaces and a trading floor, with tree canopy views and a strong visual relationship to the park. The multifamily building, with interior public spaces designed by team member MaRS, has an articulated massing towards the park, affording park views to a large percentage of units. Amenity spaces were located on top of the garage podium looking at the park. Levy Park was a close collaboration between the City of Houston, Upper Kirby Management District, and Midway Companies. The project was highly complex, and our team played a key role from project inception through delivery. The team engaged in extensive programming studies and community workshops to ensure that the community was heard and their needs were accommodated. The park design was planned around the centrally located children’s garden, which has an ADA

accessible tree house platform that spans across legacy live oaks, which were preserved and relocated on site and create a canopy that reduces the site’s temperatures by an estimated ten degrees. Additional sustainable features include 3.3 acres of permeable surface, locally sourced materials, and a rain garden and community garden, both of which have capabilities to harvest and reuse storm water. The office building was awarded LEED Gold status. Project quality was an ongoing process that began with a clear project definition.

Client Hines / MATCO Size Residential Units: 501 Retail: 58,400 SF² Completion 2016 Study

An imperative component of the building composition of this mixed-use residential, retail, and public realm complex is the public plaza on the west near Westbrook Station. The overall massing of the project embraces and cradles the public plaza. The building on the south shifts direction as it passes over a pedestrian zone to acknowledge the presence and position of the train station. The three residential buildings fold over the podium connecting the mass with the public realm. The principal retail component in the project is a medium-size supermarket, prominent of the lateral street of project.

The design team was challenged with creating a master plan that incorporates a unique urban space that sensibly connects retail, office, hotel, and multifamily components with civic/community exhibition space. The master plan also includes a central plaza to serve as a major civic and community exhibition space and park area. The site of the McNair Plaza Master Plan is the gateway to the Uptown Galleria area of Houston, where there is a significant leap in the quality of the urban space and feeling of the neighborhood as you travel north on Post Oak Boulevard. Our master plan design was selected through a design competition against other leading architectural firms. We created a vision with the public in mind and an eye toward the future. At the heart of our project is a bold and dynamic public plaza, which is as important as the architectural design of the buildings. All of the lobbies for the various building and retail spaces are directly connected to the plaza, which is the lifeblood of the whole development. This design endeavors to become an iconic destination filled with people and vivacity – the central unifying area from which future buildings will rise.

Adjacent to an existing lake and highway in a Midwestern city in the United States, this master plan accommodates a corporate campus, as well a series of mixed-use buildings to create a community of live-work-play. The components include corporate headquarters buildings, additional speculative office buildings, hotel, conference center, fitness center, retail/venue pavilion, and multifamily buildings – all organized around a central park adjacent to the water. The hotel and conference center, along with the park, will create a sense of place and destination. The corporate buildings will face the lake and part of the public side of the project.

The project is located on the current Conagra Campus next to Conagra Lake in the Heartland of the Americas Park. The site lies east of the Old Market area, an active retail and restaurant region with distinctive architectural and urban character. As is the case in many urban areas with well-defined architectural character, the Old Market area has become a fashionable area in Omaha with intense pedestrian, restaurant, and bar activity. The master plan capitalizes on the success of the area and further enhances the urban experience by creating an extension of the Old Market with a new destination to provide urban views of the lake and fountain. The master plan design will also improve the connection to the park. The current campus was designed as a suburban development with isolated buildings in a parklike setting, which prevented integration with the city west of the campus. The new master plan proposes a continuation of the city grid to allow for urban integration with the Old Market area.

The Technology Park Master Plan is an ambitious development plan for a new technology hub workplace. The project will create a new sustainable urban district that capitalizes on its proximity to a lake and other adjacent tech-based commerce. This multi-phase development will benefit from its proximity to the lake with its sweeping views and natural attributes. The development will provide an exceptional lifestyle work environment, along with daily conveniences and retail opportunities contributing to a vibrant expanding community and tech sector growth. The development will incorporate the newest thinking in tech park design. Reliability of power, robust infrastructure, data security, and mechanical systems are all part of the hidden infrastructure that will set this development apart from its predecessors. The development’s team has the added benefit and understanding of international standards and marketplace demand to better design buildings that suit a wider range of users and future tenants. The master plan exercise culminated in a 550-page report and movie. The expansive report covers topics like site analysis, design approach, landscape strategies, development strategies, parking strategies, tower design and floor plates, traffic analysis, MEP and utility distribution, civil reports, and sustainability concepts.

The grounds of the manor house for the Archbishop and Clonliffe College Seminary at the edge of central Dublin was being studied through a master plan to include three different density levels of multifamily use. The master plan was required to preserve the manor house and chapel, two sports fields, and wooded areas within the boundaries of the site. Keeping with the existing axial relationships found in the existing building layout and site, we located roads and proposed multifamily buildings. In an effort to maximize density while respecting the pastoral beauty, we clustered the building together tightly. The arrival sequences of the project were of great importance to the client and the flanking of these boulevard entrances were intended to give a sense of grandeur and importance.
