MUSEO Institute for Medical Arts is a 10-story Class “A” LEED Certified professional medical building that is the first phase of a mixed-use urban project inspired by the art, science, and culture of Houston’s vibrant Museum District.
The building’s design is inspired by analytical cubism utilizing Euclidian principles to explore the spatial relationships and tensions generated between solid geometric forms and their compositional placement. Derived from cubist methodology, the building’s angled north façade forms a trapezoidal prism that interrupts the orthogonal composition of cubes and rectangles and creates a tension between the solid forms that results in a dynamic movement towards the sky.
The trapezoidal blue mass anchors the structure to the ground and acts as a counterweight to the cubes suspended in space to the south. The leaning blue façade is visually buttressed by the rectangular solid, capped by the Training Center Roof Garden, placed intentionally to take advantage of the spectacular views to Houston’s Downtown. The high performance, low-reflection glass exterior skin evokes the colors of the Aegean Sea, with striking shades of navy blues and crystal greens punctuated by reflective silver.
Inspired by the ancient Greek Healing Centers, “Asclepeia”, the building’s lobby is designed to create an uplifting and welcoming entry point to patients coming to the facility to seek healing.

Strategically situated at the main entrance of the lobby, the statue of “Nike of Samothrace” or “Winged Victory”, radiates a powerful positive energy and conveys a sense of triumph and perseverance to patients beginning their healing journey.

Nike of Samothrace
The statue’s massive wings and forward leaning posture create a sense of motion and energy to the lobby space that is counterbalanced by the raw angled concrete columns and slopped glass to the south. The 24-ton statue is sculpted out of one solid piece of Thasian white marble and is one of only two reproductions certified by the Louvre, Paris.

Kouros
In a specially designed alcove of the building’s main lobby, the statue of a naked youth “Kouros” represents one of the first examples of humanity to study the anatomical structure of the human body during the Archaic period in the 6th century BC. Detailed anatomy and musculature are expressed as decorative patterning in exquisite detail and convey scientific understanding of the intricacies of the human body.

Kouros does not represent any one individual young man, but rather the general idea of “Arete”, a combination of moral and physical beauty.
The young man is portrayed in perfect physical condition, smiling the “Archaïcón Meidíama”, or “Divine Smile” in response to the experience of a blessed joy and happiness derived by the harmonious balance between body and mind.

Located on the seventh floor and overlooking Houston’s downtown, a state-of-the-art Training Center is equipped with the latest technologies, tools, and resources to provide for optimal training and learning experiences.
The Training Center extends to an outdoor Roof Garden with spectacular views to Houston’s downtown, providing a dynamic space for social gatherings and enhancing the effectiveness of training programs.
Visitors who park in Museo’s 470-car garage are greeted in the elevator vestibules by floor-to-ceiling murals based on famous works of art commissioned to put patients at ease upon arrival while providing visual cues to help them remember the level they parked. The brightly colored murals installed on the building’s five garage levels include celebrated works by Impressionist masters such as Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Degas, Gustav Klimt, Claude Monet and Francois Boucher.

Reflecting the advanced surgical techniques, innovative technology and personalized care of the Mann Eye Institute, the 10th floor lobby welcomes patients and their families as they enter the grand space from the elevator lobby.
The glowing marble reception station, carved out of Thasian white marble, serves as the main orientation point that directs patients to the various treatment areas of state-of-the-art facility.
The clerestory windows around the perimeter allow natural light to enter the space from above and create a sense of openness and verticality to the grand hall. The sloped glass, strategically located on the north side axis across the main entrance, frames the dramatic views to Downtown Houston and visually expands the volume of the grand central space.

The use of architectural color was studied extensively by New York colorist Carl Black, to achieve an optimal ambiance that creates a sense of calmness and well-being during the healing process. Carl’s philosophy is that color has little to do with decoration but rather with the creation of spatial ambiances by manipulating the natural or artificial light entering the spatial void of a room. In the world of human perception, each color moves in a specific direction, to and from the eye. Yellow comes toward us, blue moves away from us, and red rises.
