SUMMARY:Soar to High Heights: Parkside Residences
DESCRIPTION:A city’s towers can define its place in the world\, producing a skyline that reveals a city’s identity almost instantly. But today\, the community rarely has access to those towers and the bird’s eye views they provide. Observation decks have closed or limited tenant access only due to increasing security concerns. \nArCH’s Soar to High Heights tour series invites the community to explore our local skyscrapers’ history\, architecture\, and access to the top. We will explore iconic and recently completed skyscrapers in Houston’s skyline. \nFeatured Location\nParkside Residences\n2022\, Ziegler Cooper Architects \nParkside Residence is the latest addition near Discovery Green. Soaring 470 feet tall\, this 43-story skyscraper offers another option for living in downtown Houston. \nThe building offers sweeping views of downtown Houston and is within walking distance of both the George R. Brown and Daikin Park with ample food and entertainment options. \nWith architecture by Ziegler Cooper Architects and interior design by Waldrop + Nichols Studio\, the 307 units are designed with 10-foot ceilings\, floor-to-ceiling windows\, and blackout shades. Residents also have access to a host of amenities: the city’s tallest rooftop pool\, a lounge and clubroom\, a catering kitchen\, a state-of-the-art fitness center\, and two guest suites to accommodate short-term residents’ guest stays. \nThe building’s top floor features 270-degree views and an impressive rooftop pool with indoor and outdoor lounges and a cantilevered observation deck. \nThe Parkside Residence is part of an ongoing initiative to bring more residents into downtown Houston’s business district.  Currently\, there are roughly 11\,000 people residing downtown – up from 2\,085 people in 2000. \nJoin us for a tour of Parkside Residence with developer High Street Residential and architect Ziegler Cooper. \nDesign Team\nDeveloper: High Street Residential\nArchitect: Ziegler Cooper Architects\nInteriors: Waldrop + Nicols \n  \nAIA Credit: 1.5 LUs

SUMMARY:Stone & Design: Innovation and Market Trends in Texas
DESCRIPTION:The panel provides a comprehensive overview of the Texas architecture and design market as it relates to the use of natural stone. Part of the We Speak Stone business mission\, the session brings together international producers and U.S.-based professionals to foster meaningful industry dialogue and collaboration. \n\n\nThe discussion will highlight the use of marble and natural stone in a variety of architectural contexts—hospitality\, residential\, and commercial—with insights into regional design preferences and the role of stone in both landmark and contemporary buildings. It will also explore economic development trends in major urban centers such as Houston\, Austin\, and Dallas.  Panelists will also discuss market entry strategies tailored to Texas. This includes guidance on establishing partnerships with architects\, designers\, and developers\, and navigating logistical and regulatory factors. \n\n\nThe session is structured to deliver both strategic knowledge and actionable insights\, followed by a networking opportunity that encourages further professional exchange. \n\nPanel: Stone & Design: Innovation and Market Trends in Texas\nMC: Filo Castore -Managing Principal | JACOBS\nSpeaker: July Cash -Senior Interior Designer -Senior Associate | HOK\n\nAIA Credit: 1.0 LU \nRegister Here \n\nFree and open to the public.  Lunch provided to all RSVPs.
