The Wilshire

The Wilshire is a high-rise residence sited at the River Oaks District. Every aspect of its inspired architecture, thoughtful design and modern efficiency simplify the lives of residents while rewarding them with a richly layered luxury lifestyle.

While modern in its origins, The Wilshire departs from the strict rigor of modernism to create undeniably welcoming and livable spaces. The building’s footprint maximizes the availability of natural light and creates numerous corners for balconies with enviable views of the surrounding skyline. Natural materials and finishes create an inviting sense of warmth. Millwork and fixtures exhibit flourishes that add a touch of glamour to the modern lines that flow from interior to exterior.

Meticulously designed by the award-winning Kirksey Architects, The Wilshire epitomizes the best of luxury high-rise living.

Each residence at The Wilshire showcases both classic and modern influences, abundant natural light, open living areas, large master closets and the finishes and fixtures needed to delight, rather than merely satisfy the most refined buyer.

Gray interiors are growing in popularity, holding the edge on most popular hue for the second year for home interiors, according to the Paint Quality Institute.

“It’s understated and sophisticated,” according to the Paint Quality Institute in a 2015 color trends report. “And most tints and shades of gray are ‘chameleon’ colors that change appearance when the light changes, so they provide enormous visual interest.”

Part of the gray appeal is that the color can go with just about any other color, an easy on the eyes neutral that home buyers will appreciate too. Gray paired with other neutrals – like white, off-white, beige, taupe, soft blue, or black – can also provide a tranquil color scheme for an interior space, particularly for family rooms and bedrooms, according to the Paint Quality Institute. Many shades of gray are popular too, from silver tints to gunmetal, charcoal, and slate.

“Grays that contain traces of warm hues like red, yellow, or brown seem cozier, and partner best with warm companion colors,” the Paint Quality Institute notes. “On the other hand, grays that have hints of blue or green seem cooler and more austere, so they are inherently more compatible with colors on the cooler side of the spectrum.”
