Asian Temple
Role: Lead Designer
Location: Miami, FL
Size: 12,229 Sq Ft
Date: October 2024 - Current
AsianTemple is the flagship restaurant of the newly developed Riverside Wharf complex in Miami, a vibrant destination featuring a 192-key hotel, day club, nightclub, and an array of restaurants and shops. Designed to create a seamless blend of culture and modernity,AsianTemple spans two levels, offering an immersive dining and entertainment experience.
Initially conceived by a different design firm, the Riverside Wharf project faced significant challenges, including an $80 million budget overrun and uncoordinated construction documents. To resolve these issues, the client engaged Gensler to reimagine the space, optimize costs, and deliver a constructible design solution.
At the heart ofAsianTemple’s design are custom canopies inspired by traditionalAsian umbrellas.These metal and backlit printed resin structures were developed through a collaborative effort withArmstrong to ensure a seamless and efficient installation.
The restaurant’s aesthetic is intentionally moody and sophisticated, drawing subtle inspiration fromAsian culture.The material palette includes black and cherry wood for warmth and contrast, Asian-inspired wallcoverings that add texture and authenticity, black pebble flooring, and shou sugi ban wood accents, grounding the space in tradition.

With over 1,100 meeting rooms, the workplace offers a diverse range of spaces that prioritize variety, flexibility, and sustainability.Azero-waste prefab demountable system was developed to allow meeting rooms to be reconfigured and combined without the need for electricians.This innovative system enables changes to occur over a weekend, providing unmatched adaptability and reducing material waste.
The integration of contrasting thematic elements, whimsical design features, and sustainability creates a workspace that is both engaging and future-proof.

“For NI it’s more than a campus renovation, it’s a reinvention.
What began as a consulting engagement to reimagine NI's global workplace experience quickly evolved into a campus-wide reinvention and renovation of nearly 450,000 square feet. NI defined its vision ‘to elevate the employees’experience and support new ways of working in a hybrid world’.
Guided by NI’s vision, the team launched a pilot project introducing a new mix of space, technology, and behaviors. Incorporating learnings and feedback from the pilot, next came the redesign of the top floor of Building C, home to the Executive LeadershipTeam (ELT).The momentum continued with the success of these projects, leading to the redesign of almost every NI workplace and engineering lab on the Austin campus.
Creating a strong human connection to NI’s brand, values, and corporate culture inspired design concepts that celebrate each building’s identity with taglines like ‘Rooted Connectors’, ‘Positively Charged’, and ‘EngineerAmbitiously’.”

“SXSW opted to consolidate their rapidly growing company – formerly spread across subleases in various locations –into the top two floors of a new build-to-suit building that better supports their business and staffing model.
The headquarters reflects its culture of innovation, creative thinking, and sustainability.Artwork throughout the space celebrates the past, present, and future of SXSW in an environment that feels fun and whimsical, rather than stiff and corporate.
Hospitality-focused design features balance cozy and modern design to create a mature, refined aesthetic with a sense of lightness and expansiveness. The open-concept workspace features rounded furniture to match the ‘music wave’pattern of the building's architecture and responds to seasonal staffing shifts with the flexibility to scale up or down quickly.
Closed offices are strategically placed along the perimeter of each floor, lining every wall except the South facing wall. To the South, from nearly every angle, floor-to-ceiling windows frame a postcard view of the Capitol dome, tying the iconicAustin landmark with the quintessentialAustin festival.”
