The custom light fixtures throughout the space were created by lighting fabricator and artist, Nathan Warbach. The main entry light fixture features a porous material in a dark charcoal that creates a dappled lighting effect and uplights the barrell ceiling in the entry. As you move into the dining space, large multi‑arm pendants light the dining rooms with the custom fabricated ‘petals’ that shroud the bulbs.

The booths and banquettes throughout the dining space were hand‑crafted by SRG Millwork. From hand carved details on the booth legs, to carefully constructed connections between the booths and the metal screens, the team executed the pieces with an eye toward celebrating the presence of hand‑craft and thoughtful detailing throughout the space.

The large‑scale abstract expressionist painting in the main dining room, is a piece that dates from the 1970s, created by artist Marlene Matalon, who attended the University of Houston.

This artpiece sits along the bar area and features two nesting doves on a cream canvas.

Designed in collaboration with Chelsea Fanning, of the Hai Design Studio, this custom‑made private dining table features sculptural legs and a concealed latch at the center that allows for the table to break into two separate pieces. Michael Brozgul fabricated the piece to have the power routed discreetly through the table legs and coordinated the leg placement to perfectly align to the power grommets in the floor creating a seamless visual for guests.

Camille painted a series of paintings depicting a landscape based on her travels to Noashima, Japan. Camille grew up in Texas, and attended the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.
