Discover AvroKO\u2019s Bold Creative Hub For Innovation<\/h1>\n\n\n

It\u2019s a trendlet. Firms investing in spaces beyond their offices for experimentation, community, and curation. There\u2019s RW Guild by Roman and Williams<\/a> and Ken Fulk\u2019s namesake retail bungalow. The latest is Host on Howard, a long-brewing concept by Giants<\/a> firm AvroKO<\/a> founding partners Kristina O\u2019Neal, Adam Farmerie, William Harris, and Greg Bradshaw, who count Danny Meyer, Ian Schrager, 1 Hotels, and LVMH among their clients. \u201cIt\u2019s our love letter to hospitality,\u201d O\u2019Neal says, pointing to the \u201chuglike\u201d arches and intimate horseshoe-shape bar defining the 1,500-square-foot gallery, located on the ground floor of the SoHo building (on Howard Street) where AvroKO\u2019s studio is. Sprinkled throughout are what she calls \u201ctools for gathering,\u201d high-design solutions for entertaining: bar trolleys, soft-glow lighting, furniture\u2014all custom and available on HOH\u2019s website. Also on display are objets and artworks selected or made by the team; they\u2019re currently surrounded by walls painted a progressively darkening dusty green for \u201cThe Paradisa,\u201d the Eden-themed inaugural exhibition. So far, it\u2019s backdropped a Lunar New Year celebration, salons, and book launches. \u201cWe hope,\u201d O\u2019Neal adds, \u201cwe\u2019re creating experiences that foster a more connected world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
