James Harden isn’t afraid to splurge on a lavish house just to party every night

Harden’s 3.5-acre estate, Memorial Modern, was constructed over three years in the upscale Houston suburb of Rivercrest. A grotto, wine room, casita, prep kitchen, complete bar, and workout room are among the amenities of the 26,000-square-foot ultra-modern mansion. It is made from commercial-grade steel and has simple design features.

The minimalist approach is, well, minimized—it can get lost—the larger the scale of the home, the more difficult it is to design and construct. however not here. For the original owner before Harden, Frankel Building Group took on the project, with impressive results—staying true to the original architecture while updating the home for a younger client.
