What was once the 550,000-sq-ft Barbara Jordan Post Office in downtown Houston is now a mixed-use development called POST Houston. It is home to an arts center, concert venue, food hall, rooftop garden, workspace and more.
Owner and developer Lovett Commercial wanted to maximize usable space on the 5-acre roof to bring natural light to the new office space below, so the design incorporates massive walkable and non-walkable skylights. Shown is the installation of what the team believes is the largest single-pane walkable glass skylight ever installed in the U.S., at 10 ft 6 in. in diameter and weighing 2,700 lb.
