Texas’s state butterfly, the Monarch, was used to not only name
the formal dining room but used also as design inspiration for the color palette, custom light fixtures, carpet, and custom art installation
located on the only available interior feature wall. Launching off of this theme, the warm color palette is grounded with a custom carpet
using abstracted views of the monarch detail as well as the “lace”
detailing you may see close up while examining one of the wings.
Additionally, the feature wall is adorned with a custom art installation consisting of metals, stone, and indigenous wood material that converge into a large-scale abstract art piece depicting a Monarch
wing. Custom light fixtures “flutter” above large dining tables with a sweeping city view.
The more casual dining room’s color palette was inspired by the new dining room name, Sage, after the Texas state bush. Purples,
greens, and warm neutral tones are combined with modern
furnishings and funky fabrics while the bar is anchored by a large abstract tree, constructed of local reclaimed pecan wood. Naturally, because the Texas state tree is the Pecan. The abstract tree extends
over the bar and a portion of the dining room and is accented with custom blown glass pendants that adorn the ceiling as if dining
under a tree canopy with romantic lighting and southern fireflies dancing above on a warm sexy Texas night.
