Past Work

THE METEOR CAFE - Austin, TX

Humphreys created the indoor-outdoor seating vision for The Meteor Cafe on South Congress, one of Austin’s most treasured watering holes.

Solid, simple, and made for socializing, Humphreys' monumental long banquette flanks with a slatted back and articulated feet make up the indoor seating area. Outside, Humphreys embellished the laid-back mood with a strong weather-bearing wooden block with natural edges, adding steel feet with a concrete base for functionality.

Blending nature, design, and community, Humphreys contributed to the outdoor sanctuary for some of the suite's balcony sofas, as well as built custom outdoor benches at Hotel Magdalena’s Summer House restaurant. The commissioned series of wide wooden benches made of Spanish Cedar inspire alfresco dining and informal gatherings.

HOTEL ST. CECILIA - Austin, TX

Humphreys reconfigured the intimate spaces at Hotel St. Cecilia, a hip Victorian-era boutique hotel in Austin where privacy is priceless. Humphreys created an air of intrigue with delicately reeled glass steel windows and one-of-a-kind room dividers for the bedrooms.
