Nestled in Atlanta’s Westside, Avize redefines modern Alpine cuisine in a rich, immersive dining experience. Taking over a second-generation space, the challenge was to honor its existing framework while crafting something entirely new - a space that feels intimate, layered, and unforgettable.
At the heart of the design is a striking taxidermy focal point, setting the tone for a dining room that is both mood and inviting. Saturated greens and deep greys, textured materials, and a layered lighting strategy creates a warm, enveloping atmosphere - one that draws focus to the table and elevates the guest experience.

Challenges/ Design Opportunities
Originally a bright, open-concept space, this second-generation restaurant lacked the intiiacy needed for a high-end, dinner only experience. Our vision was to transform it into a modern supper club - a moody, layered environment with distinct dining zones, cozy nooks, and an immersive atmosphere.
Witha. strategic approach to budget and impact, we shifted the focus inward - encolosing overly exposed areas, amplifying the energy of the kitchen, and redefining the private dining room to feel truly secluded.
Key design moves included
A signature paneled wall as a bold focal backdrop
Lush drapery to enhance warmth and intimacy
Repositioning the kitchen expo line to improve flow and guest engagement
Reupholstered banquettes and relocated booths to refine seating arrangements
Custom lighting and graphic murals to add depth, mood, and storytelling
At the heart of it all? A taxidermied mountain goat presiding over the dining room - a playful, unexpected icon that embodies the spirit and personality of the space.
