In the heart of SoHo, Tecovas’ first New York store is a meeting of worlds, where cast-iron history meets Western craftsmanship, and the rhythm of the city blends with the spirit of the open plains. Set in a landmark 1892 building, the space honors its historic roots while introducing warm wood tones, earthen hues, and custom millwork that add texture and soul. A central hospitality bar—offering a sip of whiskey, complimentary boot shines, and custom hat shaping—sets the tone for genuine connection. Guests can also personalize their gear with flame-and-steel branding, choosing from a curated library of custom irons for a bold, lasting mark. Flexible gathering spaces that transform for live music or other events make the store feel like a place to slow down and stay awhile, embodying Tecovas’ spirit of “radical hospitality.” 📍: New York, NY 📸: Adrian Wilson #Tecovas #SpiritoftheWest #RetailDesign

At IA, we believe that architecture is more than just the walls that shape a space — it’s the experience that lives within them. Interior architecture plays a vital role in how people move, feel, and connect in the environments they inhabit. Every project is a journey of discovery. Through research, design iteration, and collaboration, we craft work, retail, healthcare, and hospitality spaces that go beyond aesthetics — spaces that inspire, support well-being, and adapt to the ever-changing ways we live and work. Today, on #WorldArchitectureDay, explore how we harness the power of thoughtful design to transform everyday experiences: https://bit.ly/4mPNfoY #InteriorArchitects #InteriorArchitecture #DesignExcellence #UserExperience #SketchtoRenderingtoPhoto
