Clark Condon worked with Hines to renovate a private 14,000 square foot terrace on the twelfth floor of 717 Texas in downtown Houston. The formal design has lighted circulation paths leading to a central gathering space. The event space is anchored by two shade structures with artificial turf and flexible seating. Native and adaptive plants, relocated trees, and planters are arranged to create a formal grid throughout. Ample space and downtown views create an engaging outdoor terrace for respite and private events.
