Carmel
A Laid-Back, Coastal Vibe
“Founder Tal Baum of Oliva Restaurant Group wanted to create a space that would transport guests to the casual seaside ambience, so she tasked Smith Hanes Studio with designing an environment that draws upon a variety of beachside communities.
‘[Tal Baum] wanted us to bring a sense of calm and expansiveness to Carmel, like you'd experience on the Mediterranean coast," said studio founder Smith Hanes. "Our interior designer Janine MacKenzie accomplished that with a beautiful warm palette of naturals that coax us to remember the balmy indoor-outdoor breezes of Tulum or Puerto Escondido beach.’”
