Bar Bludorn
Houston, Texas
The team behind Bar Bludorn partnered with Gensler to design a 5,000-square-foot, sophisticated yet approachable space. The aesthetic seamlessly blends upscale elegance with the warmth of a tavern atmosphere and is marked by warm woods, walnut paneling, slatted wood ceiling, and a handsome brown-on-brown palette. Deep hunter-green custom banquettes line the dining room, providing cozy nooks with tables featured prominently in the center. Noteworthy details, such as intricately carved branding on the back of each dining chair, subtly connect guests to the restaurant’s identity. Terrazzo flooring adds a touch of vintage charm and honors the building’s storied past as a longtime favorite neighborhood establishment.
