Motion Hall is a performance hall near Allen Parkway, thoughtfully designed to embrace the Buffalo Bayou views to the north and the vibrant surroundings to the south. The design concept emphasized transparency and connectivity, leading to the development of a curtain wall system. To address the challenge of harsh sunlight, we integrated a kinetic facade an innovative feature that functions as a shading element, enhances acoustics, and serves as a distinctive design element reflective of the building’s typology.
