Social House By AvroKO

Designed by AvroKO, “Social House” is an innovative sushi restaurant with unrivaled decor, exuberant vibe and delectable cuisine. The restaurant is located within Treasure Island atop Tangerine Lounge & Nightclub. With an astounding view of the Las Vegas Strip, Social House boasts more than just fine food. Social House’s very own outdoor terrace is ideal for admiring the New Year’s Eve fireworks as they dance across the Sin City skyline.

Up the stairs, the lounge ceiling, modeled after a communal market, is made up of hanging imported birdcages from Thailand; some are lit from within projecting “unusual shapes and shadows on the wall,” says Bradshaw of the effect. Taking the idea one step further, 150 antique red lacquered carved birds sit in wooden niches that wrap the entire space.


Down the hall, giant subway-inspired ceiling fans and a wall lined with rows of stacked Japanese newspapers in custom steel contraptions decorate the industrial room. “It’s like a big warehouse releasing the news for the town,” Bradshaw says, adding that it was a nightmare to get approved. “We have $700 worth of newspapers and $3,000 worth of fire proofing.” [via]
