The space has been designed by a local architect and includes a mix of seating options including stadium seating, tables and chairs, living room seating and bar seating.

What's up, I'm Holly! My work is rooted in observation, not imitation. I like to tell stories, ya know. My work moves past trends and curated aesthetics to capture something more honest: the subtle, unspoken essence of a person, a brand story, or moment. I pride myself in intentional stillness, creating a sense that nothing is forced and everything is felt, and through my work you can see your story unfold.Read more
