We are proud to share a more intimate look at The Morris Proper at Sanofi US's new headquarters, where the goal was to serve employees through a true hospitality experience.

In collaboration with Gensler and Stokes Architecture + Design, the result is a space that evolves throughout the day, offering a bright, energetic, high-volume environment by day, and transitioning into a layered, intimate setting for a refined bar and dining experience in the evening.

Our culinary design and foodservice strategy were engineered for performance, flexibility, and consistency—while delivering the highest level of excellence and partnership for our client.

We’re honored to be featured in the FCSI Project Showcase 2026 for Inspirata Pointe at Royal Oaks Lifecare Community in Sun City, Arizona.

Working alongside an incredible project team, Davella Studios designed a high-performing foodservice program that supports both operational excellence and a more elevated, hospitality-driven dining experience for residents.

From back-of-house efficiency to front-of-house flow, every decision was made to ensure the environment functions seamlessly while enhancing how people gather, dine, and connect.

At Davella Studios, we believe great hospitality starts behind the scenes, and this project brings that philosophy to life.

Bringing a project to life takes more than drawings and deadlines - it takes precision, collaboration, and relentless attention to detail.⁠
Every outlet, surface, and system you see here is the result of coordination between designers, consultants, chefs, architects, and contractors - all moving in sync to deliver an operationally sound, beautifully executed hospitality space.⁠
🔧 It’s not just construction. It’s crafting experiences from the inside out.⁠

💥 Celebrating 20 Years of Innovation in Foodservice Design - Since 2005 Davella Studios has bridged the gap of collaboration with our clients to create forward thinking foodservice spaces that positively affect every member of the operation. Known for elevating food and beverage programs within workplace dining, hotels and world-class restaurants, the distinctive levels of real-life culinary + hospitality experience found within the former chefs, servers and FOH management, who make up our team, allow us to create spaces that both address familiar challenges and consistently operate at the highest level of efficiency. Never satisfied with the now, we look at every project as an opportunity to deliver fresh ideas, new approaches and innovative concepts in both operating techniques and industry technology.

The bar is more than just a place to serve drinks - it’s a statement of identity, atmosphere, and operational efficiency. At Davella Studios, we understand that a well-designed bar is a cornerstone of a successful restaurant project.
From spatial flow to guest interaction, lighting to product visibility, every element is curated with precision. The result? A seamless blend of function and sophistication - as seen in this recent project. Cheers 🥂

Edible flowers aren’t just a feast for the eyes—they bring texture, aroma, and delicate flavor to the plate. From microgreens to violets and pansies, these botanical beauties are redefining what fresh means in modern gastronomy.
At Davella, we design kitchens where chefs can experiment, elevate, and plate nature’s most colorful creations with confidence and precision. Because beauty belongs in every bite.
