Follow on Google News | Design Awards Pile High for Texas' Greenest Commercial Office BuildingHouston Leading Architecture Firm Studio RED Architects Honored for Outstanding Sustainable Design of LEED Platinum Project
By: Studio RED Architects (Project specs and images available here: http://studioredarchitects.com/ Studio RED Architects was awarded the Commercial Sustainable Design award at the third annual PaperCity Design Awards for the design of the TreeHouse Memorial City. PaperCity, with The Houston Design Center, celebrates design innovation through the annual awards program and selected award-recipients from over 180 submissions in 17 categories. Studio RED was honored among the other recipients in an invitation-only event at the Houston Design Center on Tuesday, April 7. "It was a real treat to be recognized by a publication like PaperCity," says Pete Ed Garrett, Partner, Studio RED Architects. "The magazine celebrates fresh style and local trendsetters in interior design, and we're happy to be included in that group." Just two days later, the Houston Business Journal (HBJ) named the TreeHouse the winner of the Best Workplace Interior in the 2015 Landmark Awards, Special Project Category. HBJ's annual Landmark Awards recognize real estate projects that make a significant impression on the Houston landscape and improve the look, feel and image of the city. Award-winning projects are marked by excellence in land planning, design, construction, economics, marketing and management. "The building also has a lot to offer the surrounding community," says Garrett. "One feature that is present to the community is an interactive wall that provides guests with insight into the transformation of this thriving area." The interactive wall system serves as an illustrative tool for children and adults, outlining the TreeHouse's sustainable features and pioneering space. The site is connected to the rest of the Memorial City campus by pedestrian and bike paths, promoting a healthier, interactive lifestyle for employees and visitors alike. The TreeHouse interior's flexible design allows for an innovative work atmosphere for employees, tenants, consultants, and investors. Lifting large overhead doors, flying walls, and rotating screens create more open social areas for events. "We're excited to see how the community adopts the TreeHouse, and especially thrilled for the client, MetroNational to be able to work and entertain in such an energizing environment," In 2014, Studio RED Architects was also awarded Best Green Project in Texas and Louisiana by Engineering News Record (ENR) for the 10-month delivery of the TreeHouse Memorial City project.
