We are thrilled to share the final photos of Sparrow — a completely new concept crafted from the ground up.

Inspired by the idea of sanctuary and social connection, Sparrow was designed as a gathering place for characters of all kinds — a space that feels layered, textural, and alive. Pulling from an elegant industrial palette with earthy tones, moody lighting, and pops of rich green, every detail was considered to strike that perfect balance of masculine structure and feminine softness.

From the custom millwork and architectural moments to the lighting story, patterns, and natural materials, Sparrow was built as a place where friends meet, conversations flow, and every seat feels intentional.

Have you been yet? The ambience is warm, inviting, and a little bit magical — and the menu is unreal.

And the biggest THANK YOU to the incredible team who brought this project to life with creativity, precision, and heart. Truly a dream collaboration and one that will forever be one of our favorites.

We are honored and excited to share the final photos of our Haymaker Verrado project.

Westside Concepts is a well-loved, family-owned restaurant group with deep roots in the West Valley. We were grateful to be trusted to refresh the overall look and feel of the group’s original concept.

Our team brightened the look by blending warm wood tones and touches of copper, incorporating a custom concrete bartop, and adding a mix of plush velvet and patterned backs within the banquettes.

Designing this new location was both an honor and a joy. We’re so proud to help bring another vibrant, welcoming space to life — one where people can gather, celebrate, and enjoy incredible food + drinks.

Join the Haymaker team for their ribbon cutting this Monday, March 31st, from 2–3:30 PM and be part of the celebration!

If these walls could talk, they’d tell you about how much love, care, and attention our team spent bringing them to life.

From bold, eye-catching wallpaper to carefully hand-selected tile, every design choice we make is crafted to bring our client’s unique stories come to life within their space. We believe walls don’t just hold up a room—they set the stage for cherished memories.

Here’s are some of the things we think about when designing our bathrooms:

— Wallpaper Curation: We look for textures, patterns, and palettes that transform walls into statement pieces.�
— Tile Selection: Our team sources handpicked tile that blends durability with luxury.�
— Layered Depth: When we layer materials like stone, wood, and metal, we add depth and richness.�
— Lighting Choices: Our goal is to pull rich, deep hues from textures and colors with the perfect light.�

Let there be LIGHT ✨

When we design high-end salons, we believe that lighting is everything. For our team, it’s not just about visibility; our goal is to craft an atmosphere that feels luxurious, inviting, and effortlessly on-brand for every guest who walks through the door.

The right lighting enhances client comfort, elevates the salon experience, and even influences a guest's perception of their services (because let’s be real, no one looks their best under harsh fluorescents).

Intentional, thoughtful lighting has a significant impact on guest experience by:

✨Creating positive first impressions
✨Influencing your guests' mood and behavior
✨Enhancing the perceived quality of the space
✨Contributing to a more memorable stay
✨Elevating a client's opinion of services & aiding in stylist success
✨And potentially increasing sales and customer retention

Thoughtfully designed lighting isn’t just functional—it’s transformative. Take a look at some of our favorite lighting choices and how each one impacted the space in a different way.
