2700 post oak
houston, texas
Beginning in 2000, Kirksey was retained by Walton Street Capitiol to renovate 2700 Post
Oak, which is located in the heart of the Galleria. Improvements included a new entrance
with a monumental canopy and bridge, new tenant drop-off drive entrance, new lobby at
the Post Oak entrance, tenant graphics program, new shuttle elevator to serve floors 24
and 25, two new elevators to serve the existing parking garage, and renovation of all the
building elevators to current ADA and fire codes. The construction was completed in
2006.

travis tower
houston, texas
In 1997, Kirksey was retained by Trammell Crow to provide feasablity and design services
related to the renovation of Travis Tower, a 21-story, 474,000-sf office building located in
downtown Houston. Exterior renovations included re-skinning the first 5-levels, re-painting
the existing skin, tinting the windows, adding a new entry canopy and new 10-level, 966-car
parking garage. Interior renovations included the main lobby, elevator cabs and lobbys, entry
vestibules. and the restrooms.
PORTFOLIO
park towers
houston, texas
Before
Park Towers (1233 & 1333 West Loop South) was originally developed by Tenneco in 1972
as two 260,000-sf towers spanning a six-level parking garage. The facility was occupied until
1986 and stood empty for 13 years. In 1997, TPMC Realty Corporation retained Kirksey to
renovate the two towers and the garage. The most unique innovation of the project was the
addition of 24” structural floor extension to the perimeter of each floor. This increased net
rentable area by 24,000 sf over the entire project. The floor extension was designed in
conjunction with the new exterior skin, a combination of four-sided silicon and four-side
captured curtainwall to replace previous brick and precast facade. The original one-story
lobby with step down entry was replaced with an expanded two-story lobby with zero-curb
face entry granite flooring, leather and glass walls, and stainless steel details.
PORTFOLIO
one city centre (formerly first city main)
houston, texas
Before
First City Main, renamed One City Centre, in downtown Houston was redeveloped for
repositioning as a Class A office building. Kirksey provided architectural services from
feasibility through construction administration for the 31-story, 755,000-sf office tower,
which contains a basement level connecting to the tunnel system, a street level lobby, two
mechanical penthouse levels, and 27 floors, netting approximately 590,000 sf of rentable
office space. In addition, the ground level has 6,300 sf of rentable retail space. The adjacent
one-story bank lobby pavilion was replaced by a new eight-level, 759-car parking garage.
PORTFOLIO
lone star college, university park
houston, texas
Kirksey is currently completing renovations for Lone Star College’s University Park, an existing
office park complex formerly home to Hewlett Packard’s world headquarters. The 1.2 million-sf
complex contains seven buildings and two parking garages, all of which are being renovated
to house a new university center, an instructional satellite campus, a Corporate College conference
and training facility, and system administration and support space.
The scope of work included developing a programmatic master plan for the entire campus, updating
buildings to meet current code requirements for educational facilities, relocating program elements
for adjacency and functional efficiency, and updating buildings for commercial lease space. In
addition to interior and exterior renovations throughout University Park, Kirksey assisted with
the building programming and specifying interior finishes that will define the campus standard.
san jacinto building
houston community college
houston, texas
Kirksey was chosen to complete a feasibility study with budget pricing for the restoration of the
historic San Jacinto Building. The Building currently houses Houston Community College Central
Campus. The original structure was constructed in various phases beginning in 1914, with
additions in 1928 and 1937. Forensic testing of the structure, ADA and building code compliance,
structural integrity, façade repair recommendations and hazardous materials survey are part
of the renovation strategy as well as the planning for reconfiguration of the interior for final
use as the signature facility for administration and the Honors college for HCC.
In addition to a feasibility study Kirksey was selected to renovate Houston Community College’s
historic San Jacinto Building. Located at 1300 Holman Avenue, the San Jacinto Building is
the symbolic front door to the Central College in the Houston Community College System.
Kirksey is taking an adaptive renovation approach that recaptures the most significant historical
areas of the building and brings the building up to current teaching standards and technology
requirements. Forensic testing of the structure, ADA and building code compliance, structural
integrity, façade repair recommendations and hazardous materials survey are part of the renovation
strategy as well as the planning for reconfiguration of the interior for final use as the
signature facility for administration and the Honors college for HCC.
PORTFOLIO
texaco renaissance hotel & condominium
houston, texas
This downtown historic renovation consists of three office buildings constructed in 1915
(with a 1936 addition), 1959, and 1962 for the Texas Company, now known as Texaco.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 1915 and 1959 structures will be
rehabilitated as a 370-key, 4-star Marriot hotel with apartments located on the 15th
through 17th floors of the 1959 building. The hotel’s main lobby will feature a bistro-style
restaurant, an upscale lounge, and a lobby bar, which will add in the resurgence of activity in downtown Houston.
The non-historic 1962 building has been razed to allow a new porte cochère entry and
multipurpose structure that connects the hotel buildings. This four-story central structure
will house a 220-car parking garage, business center with boardrooms and meeting
space, a spa and fitness center with a pool, and a 12,000-sf ballroom with pre-function space.
PORTFOLIO
confidential petrochemical technology center
houston, texas
Currently under construction, this new and renovated corporate campus will establish
a new environment to encourage collaboration, innovation and creativity through blended
focuses on upstream and downstream research and development. The project has more
than 225,000 sf of new state of the art research and development laboratory space and
technology spaces; including visualization, computing, analytical, research and production,
materials testing and other specialized laboratory spaces. With a construction cost of more
than $250 million, the project has over 1 million sf of new and renovated lab and office
space. The project is designed to meet LEED Silver Certification.

holly hall retirement community
houston, texas
In 2004, Kirksey was retained by the 51-member Holly Hall Board of Directors for master
planning and design of the renovation of their 20-acre continuing care facility near the
Medical Center. The original land was granted to Holly Hall in 1949 for use as the City’s
first retirement community. Kirksey services included interior design and construction
documents, planning for phased construction and permits, and construction administration
for a 2 1/2 year renovation of the occupied facility. The renovation included a new 30,000sf 50-bed nursing facility, new two-story 61,500-sf assisted living with 70 units, a new twostory 45,000-sf 36 units of independent living apartments and a new 7,800sf administration
building. The site was masterplanned for a new entry off Holly Hall, with parking for each
of the levels of care provided and a ring road connecting the entire site. All buildings were
100% sprinklered upon completion; renovated areas included the original independent living
apartments that were combined from two units into one suite, and renovations to existing
dining, greenhouse area and a new library. The masterplan included separations of the various
levels of care highlighted by views to landscaped courtyards from all rooms as well as from
the internal walkway through the facility.
PORTFOLIO
inn at the ballpark
houston, texas
Originally constructed as the World Trade Center office building in the early 1960s, Inn at the
Ballpark was redeveloped as a four-star, full-service boutique hotel adjacent to Minute Maid
Park. The focal point of this 201-key hotel is the 4-story atrium containing a large lobby bar
and lounge seating. A ground-level restaurant, meeting spaces, and conference areas border
the well-lit lobby, which provides ample pre-function and reception space for the surrounding
functions. Initially a “glass box,” the exterior was re-built using materials consistent with the
neighboring ballpark. Estimated at a $21-million construction cost, the Inn at the Ballpark
opened in December 2003.
PORTFOLIO
worley parsons
bellaire, texas
Kirksey designed 200,000 sf for the engineering and project management firm, Worley
Parsons. The project consisted of an executive floor and multiple standard floors as
well as client presentation conference center located in the 6330 W. Loop South office
building.
PORTFOLIO
sysco corporate headquarters
houston, texas
Receiving a LEED Gold rating, Kirksey provided interior architecture services for this 605,000sf campus. It consists of two high-rise office towers connected by an elevated walkway to a
unifying amenities building containing a Product Evaluation Center, auditorium, meeting
rooms, fitness center, multi-purpose kitchen, fine dining, training center, and hospitality
space for customers and employees. Project completed in Summer 2008.
PORTFOLIO
central houston, inc.
houston, texas
Central Houston, Inc. and the Downtown Management District suffered a fire in their lease
space on the 16th floor of the Two Houston Center Building on Fannin Street. The design
of the 6,700-sf office space aimed to create a spare, modern setting that celebrates
downtown Houston for both its history and its promising future within a very modest
budget. Design features include a Houston memorabilia wall created from salvaged work
surfaces from the fire, a cove lit ceiling mural of historic contemporary Houston landmarks,
and super-graphics depicting column details on downtown buildings.
PORTFOLIO
hines southwest region
houston, texas
Hines Development-Southwest Regional Headquarters occupies nearly a full floor in
downtown Houston. The operations include both the regional headquarter offices and the
building management offices for the newly constructed high-rise project they occupy.
The overriding goals, and perhaps the greatest challenges, were providing natural light
and views for the majority of employees and accommodating the possibility of re-location due
to the nature of their business. Knowing that a "deal" could displace them when leasing
the building, re-usability became essential. Easily disassembled design features include light
columns, bar, reception desks, hallway and office lighting and frameless doors and glazing.
Selecting simple, but elegant materials, and working closely with the client and contractor,
Kirksey constructed the project for $37/sf, well within the client's conservative budget.
