Libertee Grounds will always hold a special place for me. Not only was it our first commercial project, it was our first chance to prove that the instincts behind a well-designed home translate just as powerfully to a space built for a crowd. The brief was to shape the atmosphere of this up-and-coming golf bar and lounge, creating inviting lounge areas that draw people in and keep the energy warm.

Every decision worked toward that sense of conviviality. Thematic motifs give the space a clear identity, vibrant neon brings the after-hours energy, and cozy, considered seating invites patrons to stay a while. The space now does exactly what we hoped: it welcomes people the moment they arrive, whether they have come to unwind over one of the house's signature local IPA drafts or gather up another round of mini-golf.

This one came together beautifully, and we could not be prouder of the result. Here is to the many years of guests who will get to enjoy it.
