Role: Design Lead

I led design of a 2,500 SF retail space for a natural beauty and wellness brand located in Houston’s Heights Mercantile. The client’s brand was inspired by her grandmother’s healthful approach to beauty, and her initial vision for the store was to have customers pass through a sequence of rooms as if visiting a friend’s home. Building on her idea of domestic intimacy, our design takes the elements of a home and links them across an open retail plan, centering ritual and community. We worked hands-on with the concrete fabricator to create a custom large-aggregate terrazzo countertop to anchor the Oil Bar, the social heart of the experience.
