BUA Thai & Sushi Bar Update



BUA Restaurant & Sushi Bar is beginning to take shape. The first picture above shows the design foundations that will evolve into the entrance foyer area. This area will be crowned with a modern chandelier that creates an aura of light from it’s “mercury clouds” that will suspend from the circle shown in the second photo. The alabaster finish on the bar just went up and can be seen in the third photo. This translucent material will be backlit and provide a soft glow in the bar area.

Dramatic changes are coming this week! Final trim details will be added and the trend setting color palette will begin to be applied this week.

New Thai Restaurant & Sushi Bar!



Here are a few construction photos of our latest project under construction, BUA, a Thai Restaurant & Sushi Bar located in Town Brookhaven, Georgia. Bua is the Thai word for lotus. Pictured here is the main dining area and sushi bar with "petal" ceiling details. Rhodes Design Group designed the interior space layout and has enjoyed working with Lan, an interior designer in Thailand, on the interior finishes.

Bua is scheduled to open in October and we'll have more photos soon.

Sprig Restaurant and Bar in Decatur is finished!


We are finished with the Sprig Restaurant and Bar tenant buildout. We’ve come a long way on this job...take a look at our post from July 29th and you’ll see what we mean! Rhodes Design Group worked closely with the new tenants on a look they wanted...reclaimed wood planks, a sliding overhead door for access to the patio, a zinc topped bar, polished concrete floors, curved walls...we even helped them design the logo and signage. James Rhodes and Nick Ladikos oversaw all aspects of the construction project. Nick, a former executive chef, even had a hand in the kitchen re-design and layout. The next time you are in the Decatur area, check out the restaurant in the Vista Grove Shopping Center. Thanks to photographer Kristen Alexander for letting us use her spectacular photos of Sprig!

From giant gummy snakes to nostalgic candy and chocolates, they have just about everything you might crave. Oh, and check out their website... www.sugarrushcandystore.com ...we designed that for them, too!

Sprig’s sign is installed!

Our long-awaited Sprig Restaurant and Bar sign was installed yesterday! Rhodes Design Group designed the logo and the sign for this new restaurant in Decatur. Atlanta Unlimited Signs took our vision and really put it together for us...they rusted the metal for a month and cut out the letters. We think it is SO awesome! Rhodes Design Group is also working hard on the buildout for the interior. Lots of cool stuff...zinc-topped bar and a wood wall that will have the Sprig logo routed into it. Opening date is projected to be around the first week of October. You can keep up with their menu and opening date on their Facebook page. Look for more updates on the buildout when we get photos!

Sugar Rush Candy Store





Here’s another project we’re working on...a candy store called Sugar Rush Candy Store at North Point Mall in Alpharetta. We designed the logo, store layout design and signage. We are also doing the build-out. Atlanta Unlimited Signs is just finishing up fabrication and it will all be installed by next Tuesday. We are looking forward to it! We’ve also included a quick photo of the purple chandelier that will hang in the store. It doesn’t look very big in the photo, but it’s actually 48" wide and will definitely make a statement when you walk into the store.
