< Back to Projects Porter & Hedges Levels 33-36 Owner: Porter Hedges LLP Architect: Gensler & Associates Size: 105,000 sq. ft. Category: Office / Corporate (Interiors) The scope of work included removing the interior administrative zones and build-out additional conferencing areas in place. We reduced their space from 4 floors to 3.5 floors which required the modification of the contiguous stair previously installed. On the bottom floor a new common break room, multi-purpose room, and new administrative space was completed. Key features include the addition of demountable walls in key areas, a Skyfold partition in the multi-purpose room, sound masking added, and extensive A/V upgrades to most of the existing conference rooms. All of this work was done while the client occupied most of the space and construction was phased to limit the impact to workers. To play, press and hold the enter key.

< Back to Projects Trinity Lutheran Church Owner: Trinity Lutheran Church Architect: Gabriel Architects Size: 45,000 sq. ft. Category: Liturgical / Faith Based Trinity Lutheran Church has a rich history directly tied to serving the people of the Klein community. The original German settlers were farmers who grew tired of traveling by horse and wagon to the nearest Lutheran Church in Rosehill. The long trip forced them to leave their farms, animals, and livelihoods behind. In 1874, Trinity Lutheran Church was chartered. The original Texas land grant of 160 acres had a one-room public school building which served as both a house of worship and school. For many years, Trinity was a rural, agriculturally-based congregation. In the early 1960s, the growth rate increased rapidly with suburban sprawl. The current campus is about 30 acres, with additional facilities built according to a carefully developed long-term plan. From its origin as the social and spiritual center of Klein, Trinity remains dedicated to serving the Klein community. Tellepsen was involved in preconstruction and construction services for a 45,000 square-foot, 1,400-seat sanctuary and 300 seat chapel. The traditional style church interior features an open concept with a 50 ft. high vaulted ceiling and tall windows for a natural light in the sanctuary. To play, press and hold the enter key.
