RDA will resume its Hard-Hat Tours with a special tour of Montrose Collective with Radom Capital on Thursday, November 4, at 5:00 p.m. The project is one of the latest from Radom Capital designed by Michael Hsu Office of Architecture and built by Harvey Builders.
Montrose Collective embraces the kinetic and eclectic energy of Montrose. The project was designed to be socially and environmentally responsive, with emphasis placed on wellness and community. The building undulates at its base to lighten the massing, and the design at the ground floor opens up the prime corner of Grant and Westheimer to human-scale connectivity and create an active urban plaza. The facade is inspired by the area’s rich history in masonry detailing and juxtaposes these honest materials with the modernity of exposed steel and casement-style windows.
Warm hardscape, draping plants and rich glazed tile stair details welcome visitors up to explore the second-floor terrace. The design embraces biophilia and includes a large number of lush planters and green walls. Large balconies and terraces at each level connect the building’s occupants to the outside with green verandas connecting the building to sweeping downtown views.
Join us to hear find out more about Montrose Collective and hear about the design and construction process.
Space is limited and RSVP is required. You must be a current RDA member 18 years or older to attend. For questions or to secure your spot on the tour, please contact the RDA office at rda@rice.edu.
