Ocean Drive Residence
OCEAN DRIVE RESIDENCE
FULL REMODEL, FURNISHINGS + STYLING
Corpus Christi, Texas
When our clients purchased this 1940s landmark home on Corpus Christi’s prestigious Ocean Drive, it needed a refresh. Our clients wanted to bring it back to its 1940’s roots. We conceptualized a design that is both classic and funky, pairing traditional European furnishings with vintage icons, glam lighting, and tactile materials. An updated color scheme made the ornate moldings pop while eye-catching wallpaper in the powder room and over scaled dining room added to the home’s grandeur. A bespoke herringbone vent hood became the focal point of the kitchen. The opulent interior in this space certainly makes a statement.

Santa Monica Residence
SANTA MONICA RESIDENCE
WET BAR ADDITION
Corpus Christi, Texas
No living room is complete without a wet bar! That’s at least this client’s motto. This mid-century home’s front living room was missing just that. The living room included an unnecessarily large coat closet, so we converted this unused space into a custom bar. The concept here was tropical and fun so we covered the walls in a vibrant banana leaf wallpaper and painted the custom millwork a coordinating sea green. Tailored glass and brass pipe shelving completed the look.

WATER STREET OYSTER BAR
RESTAURANT
Corpus Christi, Texas
The iconic Water Street Oyster Bar in downtown Corpus Christi, established in 1983, has been a local and tourist favorite for close to 40 years. In 2018, Water Street Restaurants decided it was time for a complete front and back of house remodel. Working with MDR Advertising, we concepted a branding and interiors redesign. Once an old transmission shop, we maintained the industrial, warehouse feel with the double height dining room and loft space, exposed ceiling, and original D’Hanis brick. To complement the industrial ambiance, we grounded the rest of the design in the building’s 1940’s origins. Timeless subway tile, round marble tables, custom Art Deco style banquettes, and classic lighting were some of the finishing touches.

Texas Surf Museum
TEXAS SURF MUSEUM
MUSEUM / RETAIL
Corpus Christi, Texas
Opening in 2005, The Texas Surf Museum in downtown Corpus Christi showcases the little-known surfing community of coastal Texas. It’s a must-see for surfers and a favorite among tourists. In 2020, it was time for a refresh and new exhibit. We redesigned the museum in its entirety to showcase the Pat Magee Collection and honor the man who created the iconic Pat Magee’s Surf Shop in Port Aransas. This exhibit was special in that all items displayed (all from Pat Magee’s personal collection) were also for sale. The design concept was texture and flow. Custom displays to house vintage magazines, vinyl records, books, surf boards, to name a few, were created with natural materials and subdued wood tones.
