INTERIORS

Located just north of Palm Springs, Two Bunch Palms is a desert resort specializing in personal health and well-being. During this phase of the project, the historic divisions of the property were rehabilitated. With a focus on the environment, simplicity and raw materials, the newly restored rooms help maintain a calm and serene environment for guests. I assisted in finish selection and layout design.

WOLFDOWN

Nestled quietly in the Silver Lake suburb of Los Angeles, Wolfdown is a unique blend of Asian and American fare. With an eclectic use of materials from local artists, unique furnishings from varying eras and cuisine that excites and inspires the palette, Wolfdown promotes the sensation of walking though a well-curated and exotic flea market. I assisted in finish selection and layout design.

Pono Burger is unlike any restaurant in Los Angeles. Beginning with just one location and quickly expanding into three, Pono Burger's popularity is in thanks to its unmatched cuisine. Largely influenced by Hawaiian culture, Pono Burger has entrees that are both refreshing and filling. Lush plant life and materials such as African teak and monkeypod invoke a feeling of dining oceanside in Hawaii. I assisted in finish selection.

Le Zinque is a unique infusion of Los Angeles design with French cuisine. Known for their quality wine selection and distinct entrees, Le Zinque is a break from your typical French styled restaurant. The contemporary design has subtle influences of French culture through textiles and other finishes. This location shown in these photos is in Long Beach. Being directly adjacent to the water offers a calming and unforgettable dining experience. I assisted in finish selection.

hotel whittemore

Hotel Whittemore was a fictional hospitality project created as a capstone during my senior year of design school. The project, which was located in Beacon Hill, Boston, was a three-story boutique hotel and restaurant. Completed over the course of one academic year, this project also included a thesis focusing on lighting in hospitality design. The research was later shared at conferences and is in the process of being published. Together with my design partner Lynsey Mogck, Hotel Whittemore became one our finest examples of architectural planning, interior finish selection and research. We were both incredibly proud to end our academic careers with such a sensitive and large-scale project.
