Raven Tower

Built in the 1970s as a bachelor apartment, the Raven Tower in Houston is now a lounge lofted above an icehouse-style bar and patio area.

Designer Gin Braverman of gindesignsgroup drew inspiration for the lounge space from midcentury modern style and the original owner's quirky tastes.

A stash of radios belonging to the original owner was found during construction, so Braverman turned them into an art installation.

Low-slung furniture is a nod to the space's 1970s origin. The furniture is easily moved to make the space more versatile for private parties.
