The Saint Hotel is a 1950s landmark that has undergone a redesign
process incorporating retro elements to evoke the nostalgia of its
glory days. The objective was to create a modern yet vintage
aesthetic, that combines the laid-back feel of the nearby beach with
the beguiling artistic nature of the adjacent city. EMPAD
conceptualized and executed a design that conveyed a playful beach
vibe while also paying homage to the culture of the area and its past.
The exterior incorporates large-format murals that capture the
boutique feel and essence of the era in which the hotel was
established.

Tennant Improvement Project | Midtown – Tampa, FL | 6,600 SQ FT | Completed in 2022
EMPAD Architecture was entrusted to create a space in Midtown Tampa that not only serves to reflect the modern,
state-of-the-art, culinary dishes that Chef Chris Ponte is set to create, but that is also highly functional for efficient
restaurant operation. To achieve this, we incorporated numerous key design features, including strong visual
connections throughout the entire restaurant, a full-height glass wall for patrons to view the culinary art in creation,
and a large bar area including a 15’ tall, all-glass wine storage room, which separates the bar and dining areas.
Moreover, the bar area has numerous euro-wall door systems that give it the ability to open up completely to the
large, covered, outdoor seating area, while the dining area itself is filled with high-end finishes and unique lighting
along with the signature Chef Ponte elements, like the long, linear banquet seating and the rounded booths along
the exterior walls.
