A year ago, we set out to explore the intersection of architecture and atmosphere—to see how the character of a home could inspire the craft of a cocktail. Twelve houses, twelve drinks, and countless toasts later, Cocktails & Casas has become more than a series. It’s a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and the simple joy of good design shared among friends.

Each pairing told a story—of materials, mood, and memory:

Our Favorite Sip

After twelve pours and plenty of spirited debate, our team favorite was the Coastal Collins from Sea Level Residence.

But every cocktail told its own story, and each house revealed a different side of design’s emotional landscape. From smoky to bright, minimal to maximal, modern to historic—every pairing reminded us why we love what we do.

Final Sip

To everyone who followed along, mixed along, or enjoyed the stories—thank you. Cocktails & Casas began as a creative experiment and became a year-long toast to design, storytelling, and community.

Here’s to another year of beautiful spaces, inspired design, and maybe a few more cocktails along the way.

Cheers from all of us at Hayne Architects.
