JWC teamed up with Fridell Design Studio to breathe new life into a charming 1950s ranch, transforming it into Sonoma Garden Oaks, a wine bar and restaurant that is now a go-to spot on Houston’s 34th Street. Spanning 1,350 square feet, this project blends modern design with the unique character of the original structure, creating a space that feels fresh yet full of history.
The project involved a substantial remodel of the existing building, with a focus on creating an inviting atmosphere that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces. JWC took the lead on the kitchen buildout, carefully reworking the layout to maximize the space for the restaurant’s compact kitchen and expansive bar area. The outcome? A sleek, efficient design that flows effortlessly into a cozy outdoor seating area, creating the perfect spot for guests to unwind and savor wine and good food in the heart of Garden Oaks. It’s the ideal mix of laid-back charm and sophisticated style.
