INTERIOR DESIGN + Creating carefully crafted environments that effectively tell your unique story.
Bellhop Cafe & Bar
In the Historic Downtown Orlando Angebilt Hotel, Bellhop was inspired by a Roaring 20’s Era Hotel Lobby. During an era of luxurious travel, in the early 1900’s,
inspired by the Art Deco movement, this concept reflects the intimacy of the luxury hotel lobbies, the exceptional service of the times and specifically the special welcome of the cordial Bellhops.
As travelers enter this fabulous space, after admiring the opulent foyer with antique sparkling chandeliers, they are greeted by a main Concierge counter desk as a reception to our lounge. The lounge invites guests to enjoy the comfort of private seating areas, with exquisitely crafted cocktails and beverages, and also have a mile high experience in the VIP lounge.
It is a flirtatious space, with great furniture for lounging, special hotel inspired feature elements, produced in intricate and modern ways, and a feel for the old Hollywood glamour.
Bandbox Mocktail Bar
A Bandbox is defined from the 17th century as follows; the word band was sometimes used for ruffs, the large round collars of pleated muslin or linen worn by men and women of the time period, and the bandbox was invented for holding such bands. It has been used in the past to hold guardments neatly and clean. Today, “bandbox” can also be used as an adjective meaning “exquisitely neat, clean, or ordered”
The New Bandbox will be a place where special things are kept, where guests will be able to discover many exquisite and special items hidden in this box, as well as new experiences, and even themselves. It is a place of discovery, which transports you into the Art Deco Era of the 20’s and is a reflection on one’s true self with unaltered personality. The fabulous mocktails, design, art, accessories and good times will be all the guests need, to be themselves, enjoy the experience and truly make unforgettable memories.
Allure Auto Spa
Allure Auto Spa was founded with a passion for cars and a commitment to excellence. Their mission is to provide top-quality services that protect and enhance your vehicle, ensuring it looks its best for years to come. The Showroom Design is inspired by their upscale client experience with top brand cars, and the main inspiration is the color purple which is the main palette of the Allure logo.
Bliss Glamping
“THE ANCIENTS BELIEVED THE WORLD TO BE COMPOSED OF 4 BASIC ELEMENTS - FIRE, WATER, AIR, AND EARTH. THESE WERE CONSIDERED THE CRITICAL ENERGY FORCES THAT SUSTAINED LIFE. ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS ARE INTEGRAL PART OF MATTER OR THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE, AND THE HUMAN BODY IS A PHYSICAL CREATION EXISTING IN THE MATERIAL REALM. THEREFORE, THE HUMAN BEINGS WERE SEEM TO BE MADE OF AND GOVERN BY THE FOUR ELEMENTS. MAINTAINING A BALANCE BETWEEN THESE ELEMENTS WAS ADVOCATED TO ENSURE PHYSICAL AS WELL AS PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING.”
Inspired by the timeless 4 Elements—Air, Water, Fire, and Earth—KAP Studio thoughtfully designed each of the glamping domes around the distinct theme and colors of these elements. This approach aims to offer guests a unique and memorable experience during their stays at Bliss, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in a world deeply influenced by the beauty of true nature and the essence of creation.
Blue Flamingo Resort
The Backyard
The Backyard at Blue Flamingo Resort was inspired by the fun life of Key West, its bright colors and of course the blue hues of The Blue Flamingo!
Relaxed and Beachy furniture, comfortable seating areas, and plenty of fun-filled activities with all the new outdoor games including Bocce Ball, Ping Pong, Billiards, and Corn Holes, among others, were thoughtfully customized to match the fresh, vibrant look of the Backyard. These additions provide exciting new entertainment options for guests to enjoy. We also can’t pass up mentioning the awesome Airstream, which has been beautifully converted into a chic vintage Karaoke space, perfect for adventure-loving guests looking to unwind and have a great time.
Borrego Rooftop Restaurant & Bar
“The vibrant, desert-inspired Borrego Rooftop Kitchen + Cocktails stands above the lively Gaslamp Quarter, offering a fresh urban escape with stunning views of the city skyline and Petco Park.”
KAP Studio drew inspiration from the stunning Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to thoughtfully enhance the overall architectural design of the rooftop. We incorporated carefully selected Mexican and Spanish elements along with vibrant color palettes throughout the space and outdoor areas. These design choices create a cohesive connection to the restaurant’s culinary offerings and lively cocktail menu. As a result, guests can enjoy a memorable night out either atop the vibrant downtown atmosphere or while watching an exciting baseball game, all within this beautifully elevated setting..
Ambassadors of the Environment Learning Center
“Guests of all ages are introduced to the natural beauty and cultural traditions of Hawaii with Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ambassadors of the Environment program. Through guided, family-friendly excursions, Maui becomes a living classroom where adults and children learn about the environment and leave with an appreciation and respect for nature.”
KAP Studio drew inspiration from Mr. Jean-Michel Cousteau and Hawaiian cultural advisors to create a thoughtfully designed learning center. In this space, furniture and materials are carefully chosen to be earth friendly and sustainable. The color palette and patterns on the wallcoverings reflect calming ocean hues and incorporate detailed sea-life images. The overall exciting and inviting vibe in the space encourages curiosity and fosters a strong interest in learning about the local culture and environment, while promoting the importance of protecting nature for future generations.
Grotto Pool Bar
The Grotto Bar at Grand Wailea in Maui was carefully inspired by the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Hawaiian National Parks and caves. Here, guests encounter ancient Hawaiian artifacts, an array of sea shells, and an assortment of beautiful flowers and plants native to the region. Our team worked carefully to bring all of these elements together into a unique hidden pool bar, constructed predominantly from intricate rockwork. This setting is further enhanced by detailed oriented decorative features, accessories, natural materials, lush foliage, and atmospheric lighting that create an inviting ambiance. Visitors can relax and enjoy their favorite cocktails while watching popular events on the bar's screens, or simply continue to soak in the tranquil environment of the Grotto, all while remaining comfortably in the water.
Serea Restaurant
Come join us along the San Diego coast at Hotel Del Coronado and let Serea transport you back to the Greek Island of Mykonos with it’s inspired coastal cruising. Serea means siren or mermaid, a mythological woman with a fish’s tale. Siren stems from the ancient Greek “Seiren.” A siren’s singing was said to be irresistible.
Furniture and fabrics were inspired by motifs found on a mermaid’s tail along with subtle nods of the Greek islands, such as: color contrast of fishermen’s boats; fishing nets; weathered ropes; colorful, hand painted tiles; large, uneven pavements; striking sunsets; blooming trees with flowers; and stacked townscapes set the scene of a Mediterranean inspired meal in which you are about to indulge.
Walter’s Tavern Restaurant & Bar
KAP Studio worked with the Dr. Phillips Charities to create the Interior Design for Walter’s Tavern.
Walter Phillips, one of the sons of Dr. Phillips, is the inspiration behind this unique concept. He was a solitary man, deeply passionate about the vast Orange Groves in the Central Florida area that his family owned, and he dedicated much of his life to nature, hunting, flying his plane, and caring for the oranges. Walter loved solitude and chose not to have a family of his own. He intentionally secluded himself from the outside world, living quietly in his house nestled in the middle of the orange groves. Several significant elements within the space reflect his distinct lifestyle and personality. There is a one-of-a-kind wing chair positioned in a corner, meant specifically for him. A wall adorned with blank, empty black frames symbolizes the absence of family photos, highlighting his solitary nature. Barrel tables incorporate shotguns as a respectful nod to his passion for hunting. Photos of Walter with his plane and numerous other design Easter eggs are tastefully integrated throughout the space in his honor. Altogether, these details come together to create a fun and inviting tavern atmosphere where guests can enjoy the dimly lit environment, accented by dark hues and a strong masculine feel, all complemented by a typical Florida flair.
Tropix Luxury Jamaican Restaurant & Bar
Soon to be opened in the historic Metcalf Building Downtown Orlando, Tropix is a Luxury Jamaican Restaurant and Bar.
At KAP Studio, we fully embraced the rich culinary specialty of the restaurant and thoughtfully designed the entire space inspired by the vibrant and colorful Jamaican culture, enhanced with a touch of luxurious elegance. Upon entering, guests are warmly welcomed by an ocean-inspired reception area that subtly guides them along a sand-like pathway, leading them toward the beach where an exciting and lively party awaits at an opulent, nature-oriented bar. Throughout the entire Tropix experience, carefully chosen materials, finishes, and vivid colors pay tribute to Jamaican heritage, showcasing rich hues of reds, golds, greens, and purples. Central to the design is a spacious open area that replicates a beach setting, serving as the perfect spot for dancing later in the evening to the energetic beats of an outstanding DJ. Tropix promises an unforgettable Caribbean experience, offering not only exceptional food and drinks but also an atmosphere unlike any other in Orlando.

ECD Automotive Design Showroom
EDC Automotive Design is a company established by British partners in Central Florida. who designs and restores primarily vintage Land Rovers, and Jaguars, as well as Porsches and Mustangs.
The concept behind the new ECD showroom is inspired by the charming British countryside.

Indian Restaurant Concept
KAP Studio developed an innovative concept for an Indian restaurant that exudes a luxurious atmosphere through its rich finishes and carefully curated design elements. This concept beautifully reflects the vibrant Indian culture by incorporating intricate patterns, elegant green and gold hues, glossy materials, and finely carved textures, all of which combine to create an authentic and immersive environment. Key cultural heritage features include symbolic motifs such as peacocks and Buddha hands, lighting fixtures inspired by traditional Indian jewelry and natural forms, and a striking large tree positioned at the center of the restaurant. Guests will feel as though they have been transported into an enchanting Indian dream, surrounded by lush textures and deep, vibrant colors, all while savoring the traditional and flavorful culinary offerings the restaurant has to offer.
Upscale Lounge Concepts
KAP Studio gathered a collection of inspiration images focused on developing two distinct concepts for a sophisticated 3-story bar and lounge. Drawing inspiration from a cozy and dimly lit atmosphere, we carefully designed each level to offer unique elements, including striking color blocking, vinyl music-themed areas dedicated to dancing and a DJ, and an exclusive VIP section on the top floor reserved solely for members. The overall ambiance is intended to be soulful, lush, and luxurious, providing guests with a private, memorable, and exciting evening in this stunning location.
Crisp Cafe Concept
This concept was designed for a casual cafe featuring healthy and wholesome offerings, paired with a laid-back and inviting atmosphere. Rustic materials and handcrafted elements play a predominant role throughout the design, creating an authentic and warm vibe. The background showcases a distressed, weathered texture, complemented by pops of vibrant colors on select key materials and furniture pieces. This combination provides guests with a relaxed environment that feels both fresh and comfortably welcoming, making it an ideal place to unwind and enjoy.
Blue Oars Cafe Concept
This concept was inspired by the serene Florida Lake Life. It features a drawing palette dominated by calming blue tones, complemented by natural woods and soft neutral hues for the background. The design draws from elements such as lake boats, wooden oars, and vintage canoes, evoking a nostalgic yet timeless feel. The overall atmosphere is based on a relaxed and inviting environment, enhanced by a few carefully chosen luxurious touches that elevate the space’s tone. Brushed brass metals, distressed woods, glossy blue-hued tiles, rich brown leathers, and carefully selected artifacts and artwork all work together to complete the concept, capturing the essence of a peaceful life spent by the waters of the Florida lakes.
Retail Concept
Nestled within a picturesque Hawaiian island resort, the concept for these retail spaces is inspired by the fabulous and carefree beach life. The stores are thoughtfully designed to be both relaxed and well put together, allowing guests to feel comfortable and at ease while shopping. At the same time, visitors can explore a wide variety of styles and brands, perfectly suited for a leisurely day on the beach or an elegant night out within the resort. The atmosphere maintains a distinct island charm that feels both inviting and away from the usual home environment. Additionally, these stores are carefully curated to meet all the needs of guests, offering a comprehensive selection of products that complement the island lifestyle and enhance the overall vacation experience.
