Texas Architect September/October 2014: Design Awards

Opening spread While the theater and acoustical consultants determined the layout of the theater, the architects selected the materials — concrete, white oak, blackened steel — and worked out a variegated board-forming technique for the interior of the hall, producing a textured wall surface that keeps sound moving throughout the space. This page clockwise The circulation and other public spaces use the same material language as the interior of the hall. The stage and fly loft provide flexibility for a number of different performances. The variegated texture of the interior walls is reflected in the ceiling panels of the lobby. The performance hall looks out onto Flora Street through full-height glass walls. The wood panels in the theater ceiling are angled for ideal acoustic performance.
