The reflecting façade of this building in Houston, Texas, literally mirrors Bas Princen's signature theme: places on the periphery where architecture and nature merge.

The modern building seems to absorb the surrounding environment while being cut in two – visually – by it at the same time. Seen through the lens of Princen's camera, anonymous urban architecture takes on an almost illusionary quality.
