Members club Soho House has opened a location in Austin, Texas, with interiors influenced by regional styles and pieces sourced from local craftspeople.
The newest addition to the roster of clubs and hotels around the world, Soho House Austin occupies two floors of a new development called Music Lane on the city's trendy South Congress Avenue.
Soho House Austin is the company's first club in the Southern US
Restaurant, bar and lounge spaces opened to members on 25 May 2021, while phase two ? a 46-room hotel and a variety of event spaces ? are due to welcome guests later this month.
Throughout the spaces, the team at Soho House Design has employed colours, patterns, materials and motifs that embody the spirit of Texas modernism, a style that blends modernist forms with materials and designs indigenous to the region. The club has a wrap-around terrace with lounge seating and dining areas. Photo is by Cristina Fisher
Spanish influences ? also commonly found across the southern US state ? are woven into the interiors as well, in the form of limewash walls, vintage furniture and sisal floors.
"Our House in Austin is the first Soho House in the southern states," lead designer Harriet Liley told Dezeen. "Located in a new building, we worked hard to bring authenticity to the design. We have created a space that feels aged and loved instantly, from the material selections to the furniture style and artwork."
