The Starr Pub
Good local, to destination
A traditional pub interior treated to a serious refit — the kind that turns a good local into a destination. The brief was the full operating regime: bar, dining, accommodation, kitchen flow, garden interface, function room. The studio held all of it in one Commission and specified accordingly.
Materials chosen for the trading volume the venue handles. Brassware selected for the water hardness of the location, not just the finish in the photograph. Lighting layered for the venue's actual day, not the photographer's two-hour window. The Starr now trades at the rate the operator priced for and the venue's reputation suggests it should always have.
Walk YOUR home with Manong before a single thing is specified.
The Discovery is the first stage of every Tone Commission: a structured meeting at YOUR property or at the studio, where Manong walks YOUR brief with you and tells you plainly what she would do with the space. She is the designer on every Commission she takes, and the work is never handed to a junior. The Discovery is a paid stage, credited in full against the design fee if you both decide to go on, so YOU find out what YOU are dealing with either way.
