East River Studios — Phase 1

The East River Studios are a series of creative office buildings located in East River, a 150-acre multi-phase mixed-use development along the Buffalo Bayou, east of Downtown Houston. The Studios take formal cue from warehouses along the Houston Ship Channel in the east end and create a pedestrian-friendly connection to the surrounding neighborhood by staggering the rectilinear volumes and inserting strips of landscaped pathways in between. The two-story Studios transition from the scale of townhouses along the edge of the adjacent Fifth Ward neighborhood to the multi-story commercial and apartment buildings in the development complex. The first phase of the Studios totals 30,000 SF of office spaces, with future phases envisioning seven more studio buildings, totaling 100,000 SF. (With SCHAUM/SHIEH)
