condo tower- houston

Below are some finished images of the last project I worked on at my firm in Houston.  It was a high-rise residential building in the Houston-Galleria area.  I designed the public areas along with the residential unit space-plans.  It was such a great project to work on with the client and project team.  It turned out pretty much how I envisioned it with the elevations/details/renderings.   The teakwood marble on the reception desk turned out amazing!  I had first selected a sycamore paneled interior but the budget came back too high so we matched the color of the wood with a venetian plaster instead.  Images are from Highland Tower website and Ziegler Cooper Architects. Lobby lounge chairs: Le Corbusier LC2 chair. Coffee table and side tables: Lauren Rottet for Decca.  Custom 100% wool rug: TAI PING/Edward Fields.  2 lounge chairs by window-wall: Cortina Low Chair by Gordon Guillaumier for Minotti.
