MIDTOWN & DOWNTOWN MUSEUM DISTRICT 1704 RUTH LOCATION MATTERS The Museum District is geographically centered between the Downtown and Texas Medical Center. Residents enjoy the convenience of living minutes away from their places of employment, parks, culture, restaurant, with easy access to the light rail and the four major freeways serving Houston. There is no other district in Houston that offers golf, jogging, parks, museums, and hotels at your back door, and still be minutes from work. Further, with over 300 restaurants and 2.45 million square feet of retail within 2 miles, the area is full of exciting places to go. N
The Muse is a single family residential community with one simple mission, to provide an inspiring environment centered around timeless modern design in a neighborhood of distinguished museums and convenient amenities. The Muse on Ruth is comprised of 5 homes that are three-story, with three bedrooms and three baths each. There are two different home designs ranging in size from 2,308 to 2,614 square feet. This sketch illustrates the thought given in positioning each home on the property. The homes are spaced apart to capture the southeast Texas breezes and allow for private yards. All of the homes face downtown and have a spacious roof top terrace with a panoramic view of the downtown skylines. Each terrace also has a mechanical room with a pergola for shade and is situated to provide privacy between the neighbors. The large floor to ceiling windows are positioned to maximize quality day lighting by being oriented toward the North. Unlike. the typical townhouse designs commonly built by home builders, this project is designed and controlled by the architect-developer so design is paramount. The clean lines, simple forms, and traditional materials in a warm color palette will create a welcoming, timeless modern look. The homes will also be energy star certified and embrace sustainable construction practices that meet LEED standards. The Museum District is home to several nationally recognized museums and cultural centers including the Museum of Fine Art, Houston Children s Museum, Holocaust Museum and the Asia Society. The district has other desirable amenities including two light rail stops, Hermann Park and its beautiful golf course as well as the Houston Zoo.
