Global architecture firm Gensler's forward-thinking, human-centric approach has touched most corners of the Houston metro over the past 50 years.
The San Francisco-based Gensler landed in Houston in October 1972, when real estate developer Hines hired Tony Harbour to lead the interior design. Today the firm's Houston office has more than 200 employees and logged about $44 million worth of local architecture bookings in 2021, placing it among the top-three architecture firms in the city, according to Houston Business Journal.
1000 Main was the first skyscraper to be built downtown in several years when it opened in the early 2000s, and also built upon the opening of Main Street Square and a new light rail line to infuse more activity into downtown. Pictured you see see how the lobby of the building invites visitors into the tunnel system below.Almost 20 years after 1000 Main, Gensler revisited the idea of bringing natural light to the tunnel system with the design of Skanska’in 2019.
Gensler worked with developer Patrinely Group to design first the 32-story Anadarko/Allison Tower in 2002, then about a decade later designed the 31-story Hackett Tower nearby. The towers, now multitenant office buildings owned by Howard Hughes, still serve as a landmark in The Woodlands and anchor a bustling commercial district along the manmade Waterway.
