Dovetail fabricated the architectural millwork and metalwork for Austin Proper Hotel, a hospitality project in Austin, Texas, built by general contractor Austin Commercial with architect Kelly Wearstler Interior Design. The project page lists wood and metal as the materials, and the gallery covers the entrance, lobby lounge, bar, restaurant and wine room.
What did Dovetail build at Austin Proper Hotel?
Dovetail's scope here was architectural millwork and metalwork. The gallery gives the clearest view of the wood. At the hotel entrance, vertical wood slats sit beside a dark door under the PROPER sign. The photos show a milled diamond-lattice wood wall behind a bench and two light fixtures at the entry, a tall wood door in the lobby lounge, and a wood console in the lobby. A wood stair has patterned tile risers and a black railing, and several black-framed glass doors and walls sit in wood-lined openings.
Which spaces does the project cover?
The photos move from the entrance through a lobby lounge with a checkered ceiling to two bars, a dining room with exposed wood beams and a tile accent wall, and a restaurant dining room with a wood beam ceiling. One photo shows a wine room with angled wine racks behind a glass door.
Materials and finishes
The page tags the project with wood and metal and does not itemize species or finishes. Dovetail's wood work includes cabinetry, wall paneling, ceilings and furniture.
How was the work delivered?
Austin Commercial was the general contractor and Kelly Wearstler Interior Design was the architect named on the project. Dovetail's drafting department works in Microvellum, Cabinet Vision, Revit and AutoCAD and builds to AWI standards.
