This Penthouse situated in the Arabella building, Houston, United States is like a dream come true. Architecture and interior design firm 212box has got an unrestrained budget and one simple brief for this over 5000 sq ft project; do what you want. And so the team created a dreamy abode with an astounding range of materials, finishes, and artisans to create a fully-immersive work - equal parts fine art and home.

The Entrance

Entry Elevators

A very interesting addition to the entry is the Entry Curiosity Cabinet. An assortment of wonder objects on a wooden showcase and a unique wooden terrazzo flooring creates a genuine curiosity in the mind of the visitors of what lies ahead. Custom flooring, executed in x, a 212box invention which combines elements of wood inlay and terrazzo, spans the length of the dining and living areas, offering visual continuity while also demarcating space.


Entry Curiosity Cabinet
Post entry, we have Powder Room next to the curiosity cabinet where the detailing done in marble and wood speaks for itself.


Lots of exquisite marble variations have been used throughout the house. Another example of beautiful marble detailing.

The Dining Room
The dining area is one of the major highlights of the house. With an arrangement for twelve people, it boasts a swanky tree bark dining table offering a holistic view of Houston Skyline to the diners.

The Living Room
Welcome to the Living Room where you can enjoy the view of the entire city while sipping your coffee or having a debate. It has different moods just like the hours of the day.

The Kitchen
The kitchen is the highlight of any house. The kitchen ceiling offers an element of sculptural interest, while also brilliantly diffusing light in a warm, radiant glow. Each piece of wood is hand-cut and fitted to create a visually rich sense of rhythm, contrasted with the sharp angles of the kitchen fittings below.

Created with Rose Marble, the bath and attached Dressing Room for Her is a pure bliss.


Just like Her Bathroom, his bathroom &Sauna is accentuated with the hues of blue.
