MaRSโฏCulture is a Houstonโbased multidisciplinary design studio led by founder KelieโฏMayfield, known for crafting environments that blend design, collaboration, and cultural engagement. With a portfolio spanning commercial, hospitality, residential, and civic projects, the firm strives to create spaces that support community, creativity, and meaningful experience. 2910 McKinney is one of MaRS Cultureโs most distinctive projects, representing both a design milestone and the firmโs own creative headquarters.

2910 McKinney revitalizes a former 1953 warehouse in Houstonโs East Downtown (EaDo) into a vibrant 65,000โsquareโfoot mixedโuse creative hub for makers, designers, and cultural entrepreneurs. Originally built as a showroom and distribution center, the buildingโs robust brick structure, high ceilings, and industrial character were preserved and celebrated in MaRS Cultureโs design. By reopening tall steelโframed windows, introducing steelโandโglass partitions, and removing select interior walls, the team maintained openness and transparency while establishing distinct zones for studio space, retail, shared workshops, and community gathering.
