Rating: Five stars. J Hern. if ur going to bash, at least spell correctlyanywayIt's not too bad. There is some odvious thought going into the design. proportions I'll say are kinda funky but all in all it's not horrible. Not like that other one that looks like "a milk crate in a concrete table"

Rating: Five stars. I think this building is unique to downtown. Most building are concrete or glass or steel or some kind of granite , but it always catches my eye when im by it. ( its not the best building , by the way, just that i would be very dissapointed if it were to be demolished]) [jose h.])

Rating: Five stars. What were you thinking J. Hernandez? This building is beautiful. It is a classy building and definitely adds style to the City of Houston. Every morning when driving in to the city for work, I look forward to seeing this building. The beauty of it is astounding and makes my day. Compliments to the Architects and constructors of this building. Beautiful work!

Rating: Four stars. It may not be a classic masterpiece but Jose Hernnandez is being pretty harsh. It's a decent building, I think the dome is appealing, and it is a very functional building as well.

A vey brave statement of modern interpretation to courthouse architecture..and a succesful attempt at that to represent Houston judicial systems. Hats off to the architect and the clients/owner to break through otherwise boring and predictable Houston downtown skyline.

Rating: Five stars. The Building makes a bold statement on Houston,s skyline and will stand in time as a testament of good design.The Architects achieved their mission by designing a court house that goes with Houston and its prud history.Great Job and I am proud to of been a part of the team that construted it.

Rating: One star. This building is a cartoon it has nothing to do with architecture and everything to do with poor taste(this is the nicest words I can use). the Columns are too tall and spindly, elements of the facade are poorly used, proportions are incredibly bad and the dome is unappealing. All in all I dont know how much this is the fault of the architect and how much it is the owner's fault for having accepted such mediocrity. I am really ashamed of this building(that is saying a lot since there are other not pretty buildings in houston). It would not be too much to ask them to tear it down in order to bautify the city.
