Originally, guests entered Frevo through a door in the gallery concealed by a large painting; the seam of the door stood out during openings and art shows. Rockwell Group added colored reveals that panelize the wall system around the room and allow the door to blend in.

Inside the dining room, we painted the previously white ceiling the same rich, moody teal as the existing walls to create a more immersive atmosphere. We then replaced a gridded wine wall with charcoal tambour wood that conceals a closet and surrounds a new, smaller backlit wine case that better showcases the wine. A polished cappuccino-colored stone accent underneath the wine cabinet adds luxury, while the tambour creates a unified look as it continues underneath.

A walnut bar top and glowing metal mesh bar die add a softer, warmer finish to the 16-seat, C-shaped counter surrounding the open kitchen. Upholstered bar stools were replaced with caramel leather, which was also used for a banquette. Textured leather wall paneling was added in the same teal color as the rest of the space. A curved wood portal leads to the restrooms and back of house. Sconces above the bar add luxurious light.
