Method Architecture Transforms Dated Space into Modernistic, Amenity-Rich Office Suites

Method Architecture proudly announces the completion of an interior renovation on behalf of Level Office, located within downtown Houston’s iconic Scanlan Building.

Constructed over a century ago in 1909, the Scanlan Building reaches 11 stories, prominently situated on the intersection of Main Street and Preston Street in downtown Houston. Purchased in late 2013 by Chicago-based Level Office, the three-story renovation project included full-scale plans to transform outdated space into revitalized office suites and common areas, establishing a modern co-working facility.

Geared toward freelancers, entrepreneurs and small businesses, the rent-effective suites offer an amenity-rich workspace, including an entry receptionist, card reader security, and full access to contemporary shared spaces including a common lounge, chef-inspired kitchen and conference facilities.

Balancing the use of modern elements against historic features, Method Architecture preserved the building’s original marble and wood flooring, paired with exposed ceilings, wrought iron columns and Edison bulb lighting.

“Level Office was an innovative design where the client allowed us to think outside the box, to combine an industrial and modern design aesthetic that transformed the 1909 building,” adds Ashley Bettcher, Team Lead with Method Architecture.

The suites within the Scanlan Building are Level Office’s third Houston location. Burton Construction was the General Contractor on the project.
