History of Pennzoil Place

Office TrendsThe trends of office design are ever changing as new ideas and innovation are in-troduced. As more millennials enter the workforces, the influences within the of-fice are shifting from the baby boomer generation to the millennial generation and technologies and design are shifting with this change. Millennials bring with them many new ideas, tools, and strategies regarding the office environment.

As the office culture is shifting, the typical office layout is also changing. Traditional office floorplans were very enclosed and included many walls and private offic-es. As culture changes, wall are coming down and floorplans are becoming more open. There are less private offices and more open and collaborative areas where employees can see one another and feed off of the energy and ideas of others. Shared spaces are becoming more common and people are working more closely together.

To counteract the lack of privacy that open plan offices may bring, it is becoming common to see many shared private spaces throughout the office. These areas are very small and include nothing more than a phone hookup, access to power, and a desk and chair or piece of lounge furniture. These spaces allow employees to have

a small private space to make important phone calls, focus on a specific task, or have a small confidential meeting.

It is also becoming very common to see many touchdown spaces throughout the office environment. As floorplans become more open, work stations are becoming smaller to incorporate more people and collaborative spaces. To al-low employees to have multiple working options, touchdown spaces are placed throughout the office in many areas to create more comfortable work environ-ments that don’t necessarily include a desk. Touchdown spaces also allow em-ployees who don’t have a permanent work station to float around the office and work wherever is necessary at each moment in time.

Open office space, collaboration, small shared private spaces, and multiple touchdown options are just a few of the trends popular in office design today. A shift in workforce population from baby boomers to millennials is the driving force behind changing office trends are will continue to affect how people work. As office trends are ever changing it is important to be flexible and aware of the current trends to maximize productivity within the office.

Pennzoil Place is located in downtown Houston Texas. It consists of two build-ings, each 495 feet and 36 stories high. Pennzoil Place was designed by Phillip Johnson and John Burgee and was completed in 1975. Phillip Johnson won the AIA Gold Medal for his work on Pennzoil Place. The buildings are constructed of dark bronze glass and aluminum. In 1975, after its completion, Pennzoil Place was named building of the year by the New York Times. It also won the 2014 Digie Award for “Most Intelligent Office Building”. Pennzoil Place was the first building in Houston to use a fiber optic backbone for IT communication.

Pennzoil Place was intentionally designed to be an optical illusion. Because of its two towers and angles, the appearance of the building varies by location of the in-dividual. The buildings also contain a pyramid shaped atrium and 1,400,00 square feet for rentable space.

Concept Goals

Codes Summary

TECHNOLOGY RICH: Incorporate the latest technolo-gies in video conferencing, wire-less network connection, and touchdown spaces with docking stations and phone connection.COLLABORATION: Create a variety of both open and private collaborative spaces for small and large group collab-oration and creativity.SUSTAINABILITY:Use sustainable materials and energy effecient technologies such as led lighting and motion and daylight sensors.HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT:Create a comfortable and healthy work environment by allowing ample access to daylight and using ergonomic furniture selec-tions such as sit-to-stand desking systems.FLEXIBILITY: Allow for maximum flexibility and movability through the selec-tion of movable wall systems and consistent furniture and desking systems throughout the space.

The concept for the office of Mckenzie and Greenwell Architects at Pennzoil Place in Houston, Texas will be to create an open, collaborative space with the most cutting edge technologies while keeping in mind sustainability, flexibility, and a healthy work environment. Floor to ceil-ing windows, low workstations, and glass wall will allow for maximum amount of natural light throughout the space. Cool neutral gray tones on the walls will also help to make the space feel more open while small pops of magenta and purple add some interest. Daylight sensors near all windows will control the amount of light necessary in the space and add to the energy efficiency of the LED light fixtures. Movable walls and desking systems with consistent finishes throughout the entire space will allow for maximum possibilities when reorganization is nec-essary while a combination of multiple comfortable and functional collaborative and private spaces will allow team members to work together on projects when necessary and find quiet concentraion areas to work when privacy is needed.
