Another fabulous feature for another fabulous client in Interior Design Magazine ... thank you! We think The Lymbar is pretty special too. Chef David Cordúa and his dad Michael, of Churrascos and Americas fame, opened The Lymbar in The Ion, the crown jewel of the city’s transformative new “innovation corridor” in Midtown. The design goal was to create an innate sense of comfort, familiarity and well-being upon entering this space. A confluence of Latin American, Lebanese and Mediterranean textures and art layered over a backdrop of classic mid-century materials such as warm woods, earthy colors andlush greenery create a lived-in and welcoming feeling.

Nonno's: If an 80’s Pizza Hut and your boomer parents’ basement had a baby, and then we took that baby and gave it a makeover and then owners Sara and Martin Stayer gave that baby a lot of fun toys. Esquire magazine, we appreciate you for shouting out this team effort led by Brittany Noble and built out by Pruitt Structures. Here's to the BEST pizza joint in the NATION, and to many more delicious chapters ahead!

Yay Nonno's! Yay Houston! Yay Esquire magazine for knowing what's up! https://lnkd.in/g6RXaA-r

Welcome to Traveler's Table...This popular Montrose gem is a feast in every sense of the word. The interior courtyard, cocooned in greenery with a backdrop of clean wood slats connects the interior with floor-to-ceiling windows and offers a serene escape from the bustling urban scene and busy street. Guests are invited to explore the bar adorned with vintage model airplanes paying homage to the restaurant's name and adding a touch of nostalgia and intrigue. A ‘family table’ inspired by the humble and ubiquitous street cart is a conversation starter and the walls host a collection of  vintage travel souvenirs, creating captivating focal points within the space. The light-flooded dining room contains booths upholstered with accent fabrics that give nod to diverse cultural patterns, adding to the layers of visual interest. Every nook reveals unexpected details. From the woven seats to the carefully chosen artifacts, Traveler’s Table is a masterclass in blending global influences with local charm, creating a space that mirrors the diversity and richness of its culinary offerings.

Ever wondered what transforms a space from beautiful to unforgettable? It’s the art of infusing intimacy and personality, curating with intriguing objects, captivating art, and cherished books. We don’t just design spaces; we sculpt narratives and tell stories. From vintage treasures to contemporary marvels, we blend creativity and character, turning every venue into a canvas of captivating tales. - Hotel La Colombe d'Or - a cozy mini bar in a hotel suite inspired by Parisian artists - Traveler's Table - a collection of authentic pieces from travels around the world to create a gallery wall - The Lymbar - objects from the chef/owner's home and childhood fill the space with intimacy and fun. - Nonno's Family Pizza Tavern - there really is nothing like wolfing down 'za next to the glow of an arcade

Good times in Houston wouldn’t be the same without that Goode Company. Our team & Goode Co. worked together at a pivotal time for the group. Over the span of three years, we collaborated closely with the Goode team to refresh interiors for Orange Blossom Bar at Armadillo Palace, Goode Co. Seafood, and Goode Co. BBQ. ⁠ ⁠ We are most proud of our work on Goode Co. Kitchen + Cantina, a newer brand for the group. From the brick for the structure, down to the stitching detail on the door pulls, we meticulously curated this concept to reflect the same care and attention to detail that go into the family recipes.

Coming soon....Street to Kitchen, helmed by 2023 James Beard Best Chef Texas winner Chef Benchawan and husband Graham Painter has always been a larger than life concept, even within its previously humble digs. With their imminent relocation, we're honored and elated to help them manifest their next chapter. Their new space will be more accessible, polished, and will host an even bigger party with all of the energy and soul that previously lured us in. Houston should prepare for some unapologetically Thai food in their new unapologetically sleek space.

Collaborating with Chef and Owner Ope Amosu and his team has been nothing short of exhilarating... the energy, insights, and enthusiasm they bring to the table are contagious. Ope is a true visionary and we're deeply honored to help him bring life to ChòpnBlọk's flagship first brick-and-mortar in Houston! Ope and his team believe ChòpnBlọk should extend itself beyond a restaurant; it is a community hub, art gallery, and cultural immersion center celebrating West Africa's rich tapestry of history, stories, sights, and scents. Our design approach blends classic West African elements through a contemporary lens by layering materials that give homage the diaspora'a New Wave interpertation of classical art, music, fashion, and architecture. The atmosphere will continue to be overwhelmingly welcoming, in a space that's both fresh and vaguely nostalgic for a warm and inviting community dining experience. We're excited to share these previews as the story unfolds! A huge shoutout to Thomas P. Nguyen on taking the time and care to find Ope and his team the perfect location. Him and his CBRE team are truly one of the best in the business.
