HOSPITALITY DESIGN Hotel, Restaurant, or Club HOUSTON PAPERCITY DESIGN AWARDS PROJECT Uchiko FIRM Michael Hsu Office of Architecture LEAD ARCHITECT Jay Colombo ADDITIONAL RECOGNITION Lead interior designer Tracie Gesch, Erin Hamilton, David Tucker, Verdi Landscape Architecture JUDGE'S REMARK "In a crowded field, this project stands out. Layers of wood and stone perform harmoniously. The entry is crafted with precision, allowing each material its own identity while also reinforcing the whole. I love the interplay of the distinct stone paving patterns paired with heavy wood- batten paneling, anticipating the raw end- grain screen wall just past the host stand. The variety of detail and scale in this moment is memorable and impeccably crafted. I love the rustic furniture and delectable Calder-esque light fixtures." — Tyler Velten HONORABLE MENTION Gin Braverman, Gin Design Group, for MaKiin. CHASE DANIEL 84
