Rtron Corporate Offices and Manufacturing Facility
With the construction of Rtron’s corporate office and manufacturing facility in an existing office park, Powers Brown Architecture faced a unique opportunity to create a self-sufficient community by incorporating the workspace with cafes and gathering areas.
To help the building blend into its surroundings, the firm chose to use a medium textured paint and complimentary color scheme on the building’s exterior. However, they also wanted the building to function as a source of inspiration for the surrounding community, and so they incorporated fluctuating planes along the side of the structure, set off by a courtyard, an effort that helped the firm secure a Design Award from Houston’s AIA chapter.
