Four Leaf Towers

Four Leaf Towers is a residential complex in Houston consisting of two parallel 40-story buildings made of glass and metal. The towers feature floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, providing residents with views of the surrounding Houston metropolitan landscape from different vantage points.

Cesar Pelli designed the towers in 1982, early in his career before he created larger projects that gained international recognition. The design established architectural approaches that Pelli would refine and expand upon in subsequent commissions.

The reflective glass surfaces create a connection between the buildings and the surrounding city, making them respond to Houston's light and weather throughout the day. Residents experience this constant visual dialogue with the landscape as part of their everyday environment.

The complex is located in a central area of Houston and is easily accessible by the city's public transportation system. Visitors should keep in mind that the interior spaces are primarily residential and not generally open to the public.

The facade of the two towers features geometric patterns that shift in appearance as sunlight moves across the surfaces throughout the day. This means that the buildings appear different depending on the time and weather conditions.
