At the Thompson Houston in Houston, Texas, this expansive luxury rooftop pool deck and hospitality space was designed to reflect the brand’s signature mid-century modern aesthetic while introducing fresh, contemporary elements. The design team developed custom concepts using a historically inspired color palette and eclectic imagery, creating a rooftop environment that feels both timeless and vibrant.

Spanning nearly one acre, the rooftop features a dramatic custom-tiled infinity pool surrounded by private cabanas that frame sweeping views of the downtown Houston skyline. The outdoor space also includes Sol 7, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant and lounge, designed as a dynamic social destination for both hotel guests and local visitors.

One of the largest rooftop pool decks in Houston, the design balances style with functionality. The common areas are organized into flexible dining and lounging zones with seating for approximately 84 guests, allowing the space to adapt to different food-and-beverage experiences, social gatherings, and events.

Clean architectural lines, sculptural furnishings, and layered textures reinforce the mid-century design influence, while panoramic city views and resort-style amenities elevate the rooftop into a sophisticated urban retreat.
