Experience the perfect fusion of refined grunge and
cutting-edge industrial tech design
As the lead interior designer, I transformed the former LAX nightclub into a 30,000-square-foot Esports Arena. I managed the entire interior design process, from the conceptual phase to the final installation. Esports offers a groundbreaking video gaming experience like no other. The design engages all your senses, creating an extraordinary atmosphere.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a stunning view of custom wood beam arches illuminated by captivating LED lights. The refined industrial aesthetic is defined by rich wood floors, zinc-inspired panels, and Venetian plaster walls. Custom LED light effects and unique mural artwork enhance the high-energy vibe throughout the spacious multi-level layout. Esports features two bars that serve small plates, along with owner’s box suites, retail areas, gaming zones, and restrooms.

Art Deco twists into the new sensual opulent vibe of China Tang
The late Sir David Tang conceived China Tang at the Dorchester in London. The new China Tang in Las Vegas was to replicate the China Club in Hong Kong with the opulence in mind of the China Tang at the Dorchester. The vibrancy of this 5,484-square-foot space captures the original Shanghai-inspired designs, fusing the art deco spirit of the Far East with Paris’ elegant and traditional Chinese forms and motifs. Stained glass doors welcome you at the VIP dining; the custom wall covering designs inspired by original chinoiserie adorned throughout. Custom hand-carved wood dining chairs, custom lighting, and sensual artwork add to the allure of this restaurant and bar lounge.
"Get your camera ready,
China Tang's first location in America
raises the bar for culinary showmanship."
