Perla's In Tribeza

Our latest installment in Austin restaurant experiences just showed up in Tribeza this month, part of a nice full page spread about patio dining in our fair city. We’ll post the breadth of our work for Perla’s in just a few days. In the meantime: get some oysters.

ClaytonLevyLittle, AIA Award Recipient

You’ll understand our enthusiasm when we tell you that ClaytonLevyLittle—for whom we developed brand and identity—is a recipient of the AIA‘s 2009 Small Projects Award for Chapin Studio. Cheers to Emily, Paul, and Stephen and everyone at ClaytonLevyLittle for yet another award for this diminutive project. We are always humbled to be chosen by award wining designers as their design studio and grateful for the inspiration we gain by collaboration.

Like The Places That Will Never Be

Like The Places That Will Never Be from David Hobizal on Vimeo. A few years ago we contributed photography, model building and illustration to an experimental retro-sci-fi short film by David Hobizal. The short was accepted by MGFest Chicago, and they’re still showing it, 3 years later. Tonight—we’ve just learned—it airs at MGFest Austin at 501 Studios. See it in full resolution there. *Allow 5 seconds for pre roll on the video.

The Least Talented Person In The Room

“If you think you’re the least talented person in the room, then you’re keeping good company.” Sage advice for humility and growth. Note then that the Austin AIA has announced this year’s design awards; several of our clients and collaborators are honorees. Cheers then to Juan Cotera, ClaytonLevyLittle, MJ Neal, and Andersson Wise. Special thanks to host Rick Price.

We are always honored to be in the room with these folks. 

Dame La Lana

Es poco frecuente que alguien te pida que rompas las reglas. Who made the rules? ¿Bajo qué normas debemos de suponer que una cantina—con el santo patrono de los pobres y los contrabandistas como tocayos—deba de someterse a cualquier regla menos la suya?

Encima de la Calle Dos, al aire libre en el patio de Malverde, las reglas pueden ser muy distintas. Quizás sólo parecen ser distintas.
