This creative space, nestled within the lake cliff’s cozy homes is a hidden gem. The room is filled with makers and creators of the digital world. Commercials, documentaries, e-sports, and broadcasting, all happen in this space, it’s a buzz.
Owners Bryce and Jeff are like yin and yang, with different strengths, and a great team. We met Bryce on a Monday morning to talk about his landscape design. We had such good conversations about design, and later that morning we ended up going to his office to look at potentially re-designing the interior space.

THE SPACE
The 30’ tall space is surprising as you walk in. Back in the day, this was the studio where models would be photographed for Neiman Marcus content. As we walked through the space the amount of gear and cases was dominant. We have learned that space always tells you what it needs, in this case, functional storage! We designed a wall of white oak storage that would accommodate all the different sizes of cases with a library rolling ladder.
There was a super cool art piece in the space, and we proposed integrating it with the oak millwork. All the tones of blue and tan tied it all in. Next to is a spiral staircase that leads you to one of the coolest offices in the space, it has the view to it all.
THE GATHERING AREA
This visit was happening during COVID-19 times. Bryce emphasized how important it was to create cool spaces for people to gather. He said “When the time comes, I want people to feel excited about coming back” so we designed a moody kitchen and coffee bar. The design is bold, just like the work they do. Although we mix natural materials like oak and steel we wanted to plug in a gradient backsplash that would display their vibe and brand. Bryce had fun bringing in the latest barista machines!
PAPERLYTE
We wanted the entrance to feel like an experience. Lined with skylights the maple wood walls lead you into the space until you arrive at a live moss wall (that purifies the air and makes your heart smile). The backdrop is a polycarbonate wall that is lined with LED color-changing lights. This wall has their logo “a paper airplane.” Now that this project is done, our wishes are that with every project they do, they go further and make people smile, just like a paper plane.

THE CLIENT
We met Paul at a previous commercial project. When he purchased his beautiful Starwood home, he reached out to us to add our special touch. We were so excited to meet his wife Summer, she has this kind nurturing energy.
Their aesthetic was previously traditional, but after learning the core values of what they like and makes them feel good, we realized they would thrive in the modern transitional. We toured their grand home and were ready to create.

THE SPACE
Our clients create experiences for others through developing hotels. For their home we wanted to create an elevated living experience for them. It was so fun mixing details and timelines in this space; the marble cased openings, herringbone hardwood floors and wall paneling bring such rich textures and patterns!
GREEN LEAF
THE OWNER
We met by serendipity, in oak cliff’s wax space, in one of his own spaces.
The beautiful Tyler station. We met to talk about design and ideas and after that first meeting, there was so much excitement about the future.
A month later we ran into him in the common kitchen and he shared “I bought a house, thinking of you” we were ready to create!

THE DESIGN
Light, airy, warm. Inviting, open, cozy! A perfect intersection between old and new. For the exterior we kept the existing brick, and added contrasting raw steel structures that create outdoor living areas.
THE DESIGN
The interior ceilings are vaulted and we wanted to express its supporting members like a sculptural spine that holds everything together.
THE OUTCOME
It never feels empty, there are always laughs in this home, the pool is a favorite, and there is plans of a herb garden. This is a happy place. We did our Job.
