HOSPITALITY
Successful hospitality has to be welcoming and enriching, finding success when people want to come back again and again. The service, the food, the beverages are all critical pieces of the puzzle. Working hand in hand with the vision of a proprietor is when we’re able to strike that same tone in the space, creating the foundation for a fully harmonious experience.
Bayernmoor Tasting Room
This tasting room for Bayernmoor Cellars in the famed Woodinville Downtown District was designed to embody the hospitality and warmth of the family owners. Seating designed for people to stay and converse, ample daylight, and views out to the greenbelt all come together to create a comfortable respite within the bustle of the district. The wine is the focal point, on display along the back wall anchoring the space, shielding the kitchen and framing the entry into the private dining room. The space encourages people to stay and enjoy connecting with friends and family over a glass, or in some cases a bottle, of the wonderful Bayernmoor wine selection.

Dexter Yard Retail + Amenity
The activation of the street level spaces in Dexter Yard drove the building design from the beginning, and with the retail and amenity projects, we were able to fulfill that vision started years earlier of creating a destination for recreation and fun in the South Lake Union community. The Beer Hall is an easy walk-in spot to get together and enjoy casual company with friends, family and coworkers, either inside or on the surrounding patio overlooking the recreation in the adjacent Field House. The Rec Room is the grown-up version of the basement game room you wish you’d had as a kid, a place to gather around activity and fun, including darts, bowling, and a sports simulator in addition to the restaurant and bar. The Speakeasy is tucked away and offers an elevated, intimate cocktail lounge vibe with thoughtfully curated details throughout. These offerings come together to create a choose-your-own-adventure fun, food, and beverage experience without ever needing to leave the block.
