In the heart of Prairie View, Texas, there sits a residential masterpiece called The Honeycomb Tower, which offers six very exclusive residents, access to first-class loft style living. Overlooking, the campus of Prairie View A&M University, the new residential tower will be second-to-none, and offer accommodations like no other. An impressive array of amenities from 24-hour security, roof terrace and Wi-Fi lounge, will make both residents and visitors appreciate the attention to detail. Sitting along E N Norris Street, just adjacent to University View, The Honeycomb Tower is within walking distance of all campus life. The top of the building is illuminated at night emphasizing this new landmark building in the City of Prairie View, TX.

The inspiration for the building was the idea of a honeycomb or a hexagon pattern, mixed with the futility of water. The building’s architecture is designed to transcend the typical and visually show movement, by offsetting the honeycomb panels this was visually achieved.
