Project Details

Il Bracco, an upscale Italian restaurant in Houston, TX, embarked on a major renovation to modernize its 5,150-square-foot interior and add an 800-square-foot patio, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics while preserving its signature elegance and comfort. The renovation upgraded the kitchen, dining, and restroom areas, creating a refined guest experience in a contemporary, welcoming environment.

Our team ensured all systems met regulatory standards and industry best practices while supporting operational efficiency and guest comfort.

Project Highlights:

  • Electrical enhancements: Advanced lighting, energy-efficient solutions, and robust power distribution for dining and kitchen areas.
  • Plumbing improvements: Updated systems for restrooms, bar, and kitchen to ensure efficient water flow and waste management.
