What’s the Houston Ballet’s new $53 million, 120,000-sq.-ft. Downtown headquarters building going to look like? Two renderings of the 6-story building planned for the block between Smith, Louisiana, Congress, and Preston Sts. have appeared on an architecture website based in the U.K.
A connecting skybridge would prevent tutus from wilting on the long journey between the new ballet practice facilities and the Wortham Center, which is catty-corner to the site. The new building will also house the ballet’s offices and wardrobe shop, as well as the the Ben Stevenson Academy.
The two views of the building don’t exactly gibe — a likely sign that the design is not final:
Im not sure I like either. Something with many more floors and maybe a twisty look.
Why would a performance hall need "many more" floors?
The only reason the Alley Theatre Center is so tall (relatively speaking... it's 15 stories) is that it's sitting atop a parking garage & Biraporetti's.
Ohh fancy. I likes very much. I was just using my cell phone camera on my little pic above, as we can all tell its not very good, but it gets the point out.
