1600 Smith Street (formerly Continental Center I)

Comment on Facebook

It's a great white cruise ship plowing across the Texas prairie. Or it's a slender sliver of pockmarked stone climbing into the sky. Or it's a wide grid of strength, challenging the other buildings for dominance of Power Corner.

1600 Smith is a great building all of these reasons.

It's asymmetrical shape allows it to look different from different angles, and its final geometry is subject to interpretation.

It could have been a plain polygon stuck into the brown coastal plain like a discarded number two pencil.

Instead, the architects at Morris*Aubry took one side of the pencil, and stretched it to a peak.

Those who don't appreciate the shape of the building will have to note its unique stature when it comes to signage.

It's the only skyscraper in downtown Houston with a corporate logo at the top.
