A Georgetown steakhouse with a century of patina it never had to wait for.
The Oak Room reimagines the American steakhouse through the lens of refined French technique. Dry-aged and wagyu over an open wood-fired grill, the discipline of fine French cuisine, a kitchen led by Chef Timothy Hollingsworth of Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry. Ten Five Hospitality handed us a Georgetown room with that ambition and no history yet. Our brief was the hundred years of patina the building had never lived.
HAUS OF SÔS was engaged as Brand Identity Partner before the doors opened. We built the name, the crest, and the verbal architecture the floor runs on.
We built the full structural identity: the crested wordmark, the oxblood-and-oak color world, the typographic register, and the verbal architecture the floor uses to greet a guest. Every menu, every collateral piece, every private-dining packet draws from one master brand book.
The aesthetic governance is what keeps a room this new feel like it never opened. The patina stays intact whether it is opening night or year ten.
