Our Q2 Squad Happy Hour was a great opportunity to step away, spend time together as a team, and enjoy an evening of friendly competition and connection.

At Game On HTX, our team was divided into groups and put to the test through a series of interactive games inspired by popular TV game shows. It was a fun way to collaborate, communicate, and share plenty of laughs along the way.

Moments like these remind us that strong teams are built not only through collaboration in the workplace, but through time spent connecting beyond it.

Details are where architecture becomes personal.

Architectural details shape how a building is read, experienced, and remembered. Through material transitions, alignment, and proportion, these elements bring clarity and cohesion to the overall design.

It’s where the story is told at its most refined scale.

Great design is not only about creating a beautiful space. It is about creating an environment that works for the people who use it every day.

For Musket, each office expansion and build-out presented an opportunity to create spaces that balance functionality with a highly personalized design approach. Through collaboration and ongoing client engagement, we worked closely with their team to develop environments tailored to their needs while ensuring they remained an active part of the design process.

Told through the words of our client, JP Fjeld-Hansen:

“We have used Abel Design Group for several office building build-outs and expansions. Their desire to deliver bespoke products without sacrificing functionality has been evident in every result. As a client, they keep you engaged in the process so that you feel a strong ownership of the space and its design. Hence, we are looking forward to the next opportunity to work with them again.”

It’s a reflection of what can be achieved when collaboration, functionality, and thoughtful design come together to create spaces tailored to the people who use them.

Steel, structure, and scale are beginning to take shape at 55 Seventy as construction continues to progress on this hospitality-focused private wine club experience.

The current phase of construction offers an early look at the architectural framework behind the project, where the scale of the space, expansive openings, and defining structural elements are beginning to come into view.

As construction continues, the vision for 55 Seventy is steadily taking shape, with completion currently projected toward the end of the year. We look forward to sharing more progress as the project continues to evolve.

Workstations are an essential part of how employees experience the workplace each day.

Beyond providing a place to work, they help support focus, collaboration, flexibility, and overall comfort throughout the office environment. From layout and lighting to material selections and integrated functionality, every detail contributes to how a workspace performs and feels.

Before a concept is ever presented to a client, there are hours spent gathering materials, comparing finishes, testing combinations, and talking through how each selection contributes to the overall vision for the space. These working sessions are where collaboration, creativity, and strategy intersect.

There’s something inspiring about listening to designers navigate this stage of the process in real time, exploring possibilities, refining palettes, and building a story through materiality. Watching ideas evolve through conversation and physical samples is often where the personality of a project first starts to take shape.

It’s rewarding to see those early discussions and carefully considered selections transform into fully realized spaces that reflect both the client’s goals and the design team’s vision. We can’t wait to see this one come to life.

From tile and textiles to wood tones and finishes, the design process often begins with a single element that sets the tone for everything that follows. This week’s tile selection became the foundation for a broader material palette, guiding the direction of texture, color, contrast, and visual cohesion throughout the space.

By layering materials intentionally, we begin establishing the design language early in the process, creating a palette that helps bring the overall vision into focus.
