Brief
Owners Edith and Edwin Boss tapped Austin architect Winn Wittman for the task of transforming the 7,000-squarefoot space into a dramatic enclave of sophisticated dining.
Nina Magon Studio developed the vision, concept, design details and specifications of the hard and soft finishes for the interiors of Cocody including the Venetian plaster walls, backlit marble elements and curved brass.
Polished metal features in shades of gold and pink, including mirrored champagne brass-colored arches and the golden horseshoe-shaped bar, Magon notes were the foundational design elements considered.
Client Need
The design team was asked to draw inspiration from far-flung and unexpected sources around the world.”
We had to create the vision based on what the clients were asking for and then we handled most of the creativity,” Magon says. They wanted something very European, something that is very unique to Texas. She wanted something glamorous. “
Challenge
The mirrored canopy installed creates a grander sense of scale. A total 54 individual hand-blown lily pendants were suspended.
The lighting throughout the wine cellar case created intense heat spots under each bottle shelf and it was important the lighting throughout the casing was soft and consistent.
