This project knits the two existing buildings (City Hall and Former Supreme Court) and new construction together into a seamless flow of single-, double-, and triple-height spaces. Existing conditions of attenuation are articulated into new extended galleries
The new Roof gallery serves as a loop between the two buildings, with a translucent roof and walls screened by light fins and scrims. A mechanical plenum is inserted between the roof gallery and the existing building below.

This LEED Silver project, not to be built, brings an awareness of sustainable issues to the public by way of modeling space and structure, rather than selecting and purchasing approved ‘green’ products. A large-span, pre-engineered structure folds to create: (1) differentiated space within an open plan for separate user groups, (2) North skylights, (3) courtyard, (4) theater/roof space comes to the ground, and (5) low south facing entry threshold.
The City of Houston instead built this.
