Restaurant + Hospitality Design
Interiors designed for meaningful experiences.
Gemelli is a modern-day Italian trattoria, infused with elements of a new world alimentari, that serves those looking to slow down as well as those in a hurry to get home. By acting as a gathering spot, Gemelli aims to connect customers with one another while also connecting consumers to local vendors through thoughtfully curated products and freshly prepared foods. A handsome setting for a client meeting, casual enough to visit with family and friends, Gemelli provides a sense of belonging through a relaxed indoor lounge area and a welcoming piazza where customers can greet new and familiar faces passing by.

“From the moment you open the door, you get a feeling of the seamless blend the timeless elegance of the past with an air of sophisticated modernism.”

Auction House
Asheville, NC
Slated for early 2024 completion, this former auction house from the 1940s in Fletcher, North Carolina will host five tenants owned and operated by KO Restaurant Group. The Auction House will serve as a second location for Greenville favorites KO Burger and Mercado Cantina. The fully renovated 6,600+ square feet will also welcome three new restaurants — Fish Camp 25, Blue Collar Bourbon Social, and Auction House Wine Bar. Outdoor seating on both levels will overlook a half-acre grassy lawn complete with more seating and a fully equipped stage for live music and other events. Like the fun brands about to call this place home, the building itself is full of character. Gini and her collaborating partners are especially excited about the exposed wood and metal framed ceilings and look forward to incorporating as much site-salvaged wood into built-in features. Many local creatives are coming together as part of HIVE Collective to bring this unique concept to life.
