Our absolutely one-of-a-kind Montage Hotels & Resorts project on a 53-acre island. I can confidently say there will be nothing like it in the world. Just off Marsh Harbor, construction is absolutely humming right now. From Estate lots to villas and cottages, the incredible Inn, 7 beaches, a marina, pickleball, and tennis. Oh yeah....and the first ever over water bungalows in the Bahamas! Enjoy.....

Full day, full heart is how I would describe this past week's meetings with the University of Houston on their new Dining Commons project alongside our friends at Ricca Design Studios. From touring current dining spaces and engaging in program discussions to sharing a meal and analyzing their site in detail, the experience strengthened existing connections, forged new ones and fueled enthusiasm for the design ahead.
