The Houston outpost of this modern Mexican-inspired restaurant puts a premium on an immersive experience for its visitors. Wanting to engage all the senses, the lighting was of highest importance from the beginning for setting the appropriate mood and for helping the 14,000 sq ft, 317 seat venue achieve an intimate feel. Tucked into architectural details to highlight the interior’s colors and textures, the lighting helps guide the diner’s experience. To achieve a true candlelit feeling, lighting was chosen in a very warm 2200K and a restaurant-wide control system allows for levels for different fixtures to be set precisely for the ultimate look and feel.
