LOCATION: In Dallas’ Turtle Creek, an area known for its luxurious high-rises
and historic homes. This penthouse occupies the whole floor of the Claridge, one
of the city’s most recognizable residences.
HISTORY: Originally built in the
1980s, the unit was designed by local architect Bill Booziotis. Interior
designer Jan Showers recently renovated the home’s interiors, updating the
carpets, wall colors and master bath. (Click images to enlarge); function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)

his and her marble tubs that have been placed near the window. Pillar-free
