As for the space it is the first Miami project for hospitality designer Adam D. Tihany along with Peacock + Lewis. It features a bright entrance, wave-like ribs on the ceiling, textured wood walls, and structural columns reimagined as tree trunks that disappear into the curving ceiling fins, along with terrace dining options
