Set within a sprawling former residence from the 1920s, Houston’s La Colombe d’Or hotel has been reborn thanks to a multimillion-dollar expansion and renovation. Spearheaded by Rottet Studio, the reimagined property evokes a modern but timeless take on the grace of the Lone Star State. Locally based Gin Design Group also contributed to the project with the redesign of its nine garden bungalows.
Last summer, Melbourne-based multidisciplinary designer Sandra Githinji crafted an artful homage to Nigeria with Little Lagos. The design of the restaurant in Sydney’s Newtown neighborhood not only channels West African cuisine through a color palette inspired by capsicums, chili peppers, and tomatoes, but also the distinctive craftsmanship of the Nigerian metropolis. Textiles like indigo-dyed cotton transport diners to the bustling markets of Lagos. “The project came to me at a time when I was enthralled by African architectural history,” Githinji says. “It gave me the opportunity to engage with African history and culture and celebrate our authenticity by bringing forward old artisanship.”
