Originally designed by B+W in 2007, Starlite was a design/build project hand-built by the firm’s principals. A steakhouse lounge that harkened back to the rat pack days of the 1950s, that drew inspiration from many influences including John Lautner, stalactites at Carlsbad Caverns, Star Wars, 1970s Italian Futurism, Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, and more. 16 years later, B+W took their original ideas to another level of grandeur for the redesign of this iconic bar.
