One Bridgeland Green

The first mass timber development in the greater Houston area, One Bridgeland Green helps set the standard for sustainability in the core of Bridgeland. A collaboration between Lake|Flato, Kirksey and Howard Hughes, the project team recently broke ground on the 54,000 square-foot mass timber office building as well as a new H-E-B with adjacent retail and restaurant spaces that form the first phase of the 925-acre Bridgeland Central district. Using all-natural materials, innovative technologies and intelligent design, One Village Green uses biophilic strategies to create a workplace environment that reinforces the health and well-being of its occupants. Inspired by modern agrarian agriculture, the office building promotes indoor-outdoor connectivity by incorporating large windows and covered outdoor porches. In addition to minimizing carbon emissions through mass timber construction, the project’s sustainable features are projected to cut annual energy usage by 25% and municipal water consumption by 98%. The project is currently on track to achieve LEED Gold and Fitwell certification.
