Bringing life to the city of Houston
Drawing inspiration from the shape of an oil drill bit - symbollic of one of the most famous drilling businesses in Houston - the starting point of the concept design takes the form of a three-way road network, mimicking the design of the famous tricone drilling bit
As the design evolves, the masterplan addressed economic and social issues by providing various building units of human scale to allow for diverse groups of users to populate them.
The existing and new natural environment is reinforced and directed to unify the north and the south through the creation of green corridors connecting Slaughterhouse Bayou with the neighbourhood centre and the green edges.
