休斯顿艺术博物馆的南希与里奇金德中心以多孔性为特点，首层平面向四面开放。建筑的外围被七个花园切开，标记了入口位置和高度。最大的花园广场位于Bissonnet和Main街道的转角处，作为新建筑中心入口的标记。站在里奇金德中心的前厅，可以看到四周的花园，并感受其所具有的邀请人们进入场所的能量给社区带来新的开放感。

新的首层平面是一个向社区开放的活跃社交空间，它的开放时长比楼上的画廊更久。面向库伦雕塑花园（Cullen Sculpture Garden）的位置有一个高级餐厅，通往森内特街（Bissonnet）的方向有一个咖啡馆。画廊则是面向主街（Main street）。特殊的表演可能会在布朗基金会广场（Brown Foundation Plaza）和格拉瑟尔屋顶花园（Glassell rooftop garden）举行。

得克萨斯州的天空在新建筑的发光顶篷上方180度打开。想象云圈的曲线向下推压屋顶，形成屋面凹陷的曲线，并使得自然光以精准的角度滑入室内，这对于顶层的画廊来说是完美的。弧形天花板的底面变成了反光板，使光线促成每一次独特的画廊体验。这些弯曲的光线有机地塑造了画廊的空间，使其以独特的方式使与具有新园区特色的茂密植被和水联系在一起。不同于以往机械和重复的光线，南希与里奇金德中心的光线是有机的、流动的、与画廊的流线互相呼应。

画廊被安排在了建筑中的两层，所有的画廊都灵活开放并拥有自然采光。这些具有完美比例的画廊围绕着一个开放的公共空间展开。七个花园陆续出现在视野中，绿色的格子遮住了眩光，并将画廊开放的流线打断。中央画廊的公共区域为艺术品的展示和与较高楼层间的垂直流线提供了空间。阶梯式坡道和电梯将大堂和画廊所在楼层连接起来，并为直接进入所有画廊提供便利。

在石头（1924），钢和玻璃（1958、1974）和石头（2000）的水平集合中，金德中心如同添加在半透明的玻璃中的一个水平建筑。弯曲的玻璃元件有着柔软的，类似于雪花石膏一般的质地。到了晚上，发光的半透明墙被反射在水上花园中，向公众发出进入博物馆的邀请。与之互补的是，金德中心为休斯顿艺术博物馆的现有的独特收藏做出了巨大贡献。

  • Michael J. Lewis, The Wall Street Journal, November 21, 2020 “As a place for viewing art, and in terms of sheer sensational impact, the Kinder is a triumph. It is impressive by day or night, adroitly integrated into its site, and—best of all—designed with special consideration for the ease and comfort of its users.”
  • Gary Tinterow, Director of MFAH, September 2020 "In the dynamic spaces that Steven Holl Architects has designed for the Nancy and Rich Kinder Building, our distinctive holdings of modern and contemporary art will soon have the showcase they deserve."
  • Natilee Harren, "Better Faster, Stronger, Kinder" Art Forum, December 17, 2020 "The gaps between the curved planes let in just the right amount of soft radiance, a theme carried throughout the building’s lighting concept, which for the most part achieves a warm elegance."
  • Jack Murphy, "A Beautiful Series of Tubes" Rice Design Alliance, November 20, 2020 "The exterior is the most innovative and compelling part of the building. It advances a dialogue of "complementary contrast" with the two existing buildings: Distinct from Mies’s thin transparency (1958/1974) and Moneo’s thick opacity (2000), Holl’s scheme explores thick translucency. . . . The overall effect conceals the true size of the building and provides a repetitive, convex, muted façade that’s refreshingly abstract."
  • Illya Azaroff, FAIA, 2021 AIA New York State President "Every year the jury selects one project that they agree stands out above all the others. . . The jury felt that the form is inventive and seductive and material expression lucent and cogent. Site relationships to its neighbors are well considered and clear and the circulation through the museum is intuitive. The exterior provides a beacon in the center of the arts district. It showcases innovative thinking about topography and lightness." - Illya Azaroff, FAIA, 2021 AIA New York State President
