Reflecting the concept of CASACOR Minas 2024, the project stems from respect and preservation of the existing traits, pigments, and layers in the property. On this solid base, essential elements for the bar's operation were added. Functionally, an inviting and comfortable environment was created.

The goal of this project was not to increase square footage or add amenities as is often the case in a remodel. Instead, the desire was to create a thoughtfully desired home with just enough space for the needs of the client. No more no less. An in-kind trade so to speak for the 1950s brick house that sat on the site.

Located in a highly developed part of East Austin, two warehouse buildings long abandoned are now a thriving morning-to-night restaurant and bar. The buildings were constructed in the early 1900s and used by Texas Company, or Texaco, to hold petroleum products delivered by railcars and dispensed in trucks throughout Austin.
