The revitalization of this historic former coffee roasting facility on the edge of downtown converted the building to a public event space, office, gallery/display, and retail space. Maintaining the historic, industrial character was of prime concern, while still creating an inviting setting and lighting for security concerns in a public, urban environment. Among the unique lighting design elements are a green roof event space, lit primarily by glowing orbs, a four story stair tower which is lit with blue light at night (mimicking the adjacent Buffalo Bayou lights), and a plaza-spanning pedestrian bridge which lights its path entirely through hidden handrail fixtures.
