The Sol Cypress Hotel build at a glance
♦ What we did
This project mixed materials most millwork shops never touch. The reception counters pair hand-tarnished brass tops with genuine green leather. Doug, our Special Projects Manager, sourced the hides himself. The feature wall behind the host stand combines metal work, custom lettering, and a leather screen, all fabricated in-house.
Overhead, we built the arched ceiling features in the restaurant, the wood ceilings and beams, and the camber and light cove above the bar. We also built the insulated wine and liquor cabinets and the marketplace cabinets at the front of house.
Brass, leather, white oak. When the design calls for all three in one piece, there’s one shop in San Antonio that builds it.
♦ The Challenges
This was new construction that ran like a design build. The plans evolved, and most of the fabrication solutions came from Doug working directly with the owner, figuring out how to build each one-off piece and sending the parts to the shop. Mixing brass, leather, and wood in a single counter means coordinating finishes across three different crafts, then delivering it hotel-grade. Five months, start to finish, with Doug managing the install personally because on projects this specialized, the designer is the best install manager.
