This project is located across the street from both the Modern Art Museum by Tadao Ando and the Kimball by Louis Kahn. Locals have described this building as the “Flat Iron” of Fort Worth because of its unique layout. It has floor to ceiling glass on two of its three sides and the actual interior volume is impressive with 22’-6” ceilings. The owners traveled to Japan before the conceptual stage of the project and came back with some inspired ideas about atmosphere and lighting that could fill this unique volume. The dividing wall between the lounge and dining room is a composition of liquor display, 12 foot projection screens, and the massive fish tank which helps tie the sides together.
