PROJECT SPOTLIGHT:
H2B recently provided civil engineering services for the Center for Education and Enterprise, the centerpiece of the Brookwood and Beyond campaign.
The Center encompasses 41,000 SF and is uniquely designed as a neuro-considerate designed building, more than doubling their current workshop and warehouse facilities and creating a conference and meeting area. The full master plan will significantly expand the Brookwood Community with major components including: Center for Enterprise and Education; Citizen Activities Center; Two New Residences for Citizens and Staff; Off-campus Retail and Day Programs; Enterprise Programs and Center for Learning Start-up Funding; and Infrastructure Improvements. These new facilities will allow for more Brookwood citizens to participate in vocational, residential, education and recreational programs, and expand the outreach program. |

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT:
H2B has teamed on a new favorite landmark with Michael Hsu Office of Architecture by providing civil and structural engineering to what is now crowned "the most creative neighborhood shopping destination located in Houston!"
Heights Mercantile, the 45,000 SF low-rise urban district located on the site of a former Pappas Restaurants warehouse at the intersection of Yale Street and 7th, aimed to be a new kind of shopping and dining destination when it opened in the summer of 2018, and it delivered. With high profile tenants, instagrammable appeal, and immediate, enthusiastic embracement by the surrounding historical neighborhood, the project has attracted first-to-market, slightly unusual businesses that appeal to area's unique and independent spirit. The development includes six buildings - four of which are original - bisected by 7th Street and across from the popular Donovan Park, with green spaces and picnic tables. A newly built two-story structure accommodates boutiques and offices, a restaurant, fitness studio, salon, spa, and clinic. The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston will also put in a gallery space with rotating works from the museum's collections. MFAH's contemporary pop-up gallery will be a first in Houston and MFAH's first public-private partnership. The project's developers donated the space to MFAH, allowing the museum to expand outside of its main campus for the first time. |

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT:
H2B worked with the design team, led by m Architects, to provide civil and structural engineering for Walker Engineering’s new corporate headquarters located in northwest Houston. This ground-up project on a previously undeveloped site includes 20,000 SF of office space and 10,000 SF of warehouse storage, along with new driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, an entry court and a detention pond. The design takes advantage of cost-effective tilt-wall concrete construction, while providing a unique identity by accentuating entry features with company branding using rhythmic patterned colored facades. Numerous strategies for energy and employee efficiency were utilized such as site orientation, interiors full of natural light, cooperative work spaces, and high-efficiency LED lighting. Sculpted electrical conduit features are on display in public areas further integrating company trade and brand for this prominent electrical engineering and construction company.
