Yellowtrace Spotlight // December 2017.

Welcome to the December edition of Yellowtrace Spotlight – the very last one for 2017! Say whaaaat? How did that happen? As we say goodbye to the year that was, we have a selection of the best submissions that have come our way in the past month, from new hospitality projects in New Orleans, Barcelona, Melbourne and Hong Kong; a suburban chapel-like pizzeria; plus a sublime residential project in London. Well, that’s all for 2017 folks – tune in next year for more design news. See ya!
