Dovetail fabricated the architectural millwork, metalwork and stone for TikTok, a corporate tenant improvement project in Austin, Texas. NOVO Construction was the general contractor and IA Interior Architects the architect. Phase 1 shipped mainly in 2024, and Phase 2 shipped between late 2024 and early 2025.

## Scope
Phase 1 covers Levels 27, 28, 29 and 32. Each elevator corridor has a tambour wall with a metal top cap, an elevator surround, radiused door portals and a rippled ceiling. Every floor also has a print room with laminate cabinets, a breakroom with a stone-topped island, and a wellness or mothers room with a vanity and stone counter. Phone booths, curved phone counters and radius planters run across all four floors.

Phase 2 covers Levels 30 and 31. Dovetail built coffee bars with drum-base islands and stone counters, flex-work banquettes and slat wall features in the elevator lobbies. The Level 31 reception has a desk and credenza with a stone top, and the Level 30 stair column carries serpentine metal strips.

## Materials
Elevator corridors use white oak tambour and polished stainless steel ripple panels with stainless trim. Phone counters are white oak, with a Champagne Oak prefinish in Phase 1. Island frames are steel. Pink onyx stone is used at the Level 30 coffee bar and the Level 31 reception.

## Phases
The phases ran as separate jobs. Radius framing templates came first, and mock-ups covered the elevator panel and the stair column. The shop also ran blue and pink ombre finish trials for the drum bases.
