Museum of Fine Arts Houston Expansion
Steven Holl Architects was selected to partner with the museum to develop an expansion that enlarges the presentation of its collections, exhibitions, and myriad educational programs. The project will entail the construction of a new museum building intended primarily for art after 1900 to complement the Audrey Jones Beck and Caroline Wiess Law Buildings. Further, the project will address the integration of the Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden and the expansion of the Glassell School of Art.

GSA Field Office
The design of the new 275,000-square-foot General Services Administration Office Building in Houston, Texas, integrates concerns for security, sustainability and appropriate image. The design addresses multiple issues, seamlessly and economically accomplishing a broad range of goals. The narrow plan responds to climate considerations, presenting broad faces to the south and north, and thin faces to the east and west. Concrete walls are sheathed in aluminum shingles that both reflect heat and allow the high thermal mass of the concrete to provide temperature stability for the structure.
