Stepping into the lobby of the building, you’re immediately hit by the sense that this is a very different type of place. Even if you do not recognize the Giorgetti furniture, you’ll know it’s anything but ordinary. The wood floor on the ceiling is another striking, eye-catching touch.

The Giorgetti Houston is a condominium building unlike any other. That is apparent from first look. “We wanted to provide a level of design and a quality of finish that Houston has never seen before,” Jacob Sudhoff, CEO of Douglas Elliman Texas, says. “It’s very Italian. It’s very European.”
