OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Hota Design Studio we see the world as a continuous space. We believe that design has the ability to merge the exterior with the interior including the spaces between. As we understand our impact on the built environment, we are also mindful of those who may interact with the spaces we create. Our influence is rooted in the thoughts and visions of our clients, providing a basis for innovative and creative design solutions.

We’ve used Hota on multiple projects and would highly recommend them for their Interior Design expertise. They understand us, our vision, our timeline, and how to bring the space to life. It was always a great experience to work with them.

- Chase & Brooke Sams (Owners of The Mini Bar)

Hota Design did a fantastic job in helping us design our vision for the new look at TCA. Their eye for coolness is fantastic, their creativity is off the chain and their follow through is more than expected.

- Todd Taylor, President, The Cross Agency

Hota Design Studio principals, Jose Cardenas and John Perez, provided ID services for the conversion of 4,000 SF of unfinished space into new offices for our Douglas-Coffee County (Georgia) Chamber of Commerce. Our completed facilities are just dazzling, and we are well-pleased with the collaborative services by Hota Design Studio. These are gifted, talented people and were a pleasure to work with. They provided simple and sound, but creative pleasing concepts, good construction details, superb material selections and excellent recommendations for furniture and furnishings. We could not be more impressed or pleased with the work of Hota Design Studio, and highly recommend their services.

- Francis Lott, President of Lott Properties, Inc.

As owner of a marketing and public relationship firm, not only does my space need to be functional and professional, but it needs to be hip and have personality. John Perez was a dream to work with. He took my original concepts and transformed them into an environment that receives compliments from every single person who enters.

- Jan Korb, CEO, BroadBased Communications Inc.

Hota Design Studio is our go-to for all design work within the Riverplace Tower. John and Jose handle all aspects of the space planning process from sample selections to permit documents in an expedited and professional manner.

- Edward R. Washington, President, Gate Riverplace Company

We recently relocated our company into Riverplace Tower. We asked John to create a retail environment that maintained a "wow" factor. The planning was done on time, as promised, allowing us to move in the weekend we required - no delays, no excuses. Our first day open, a long time client came by for a visit. The first words out of her mouth were "wow, wow, wow." Thanks for creating what we dreamed.

- Hugh Harby, Owner of Harby Jewelers

Hota design was, and still is, a huge part of our success. John, our lead designer, was extremely helpful and eager to put our dreams on paper to become reality. They went above and beyond, when snags beyond our control happened, to get us back on track. They offered amazing advice and had a vision that exceeded what we original envisioned. Everyone was easy to talk to and changes to plans and ideas came quick. We will continue to use Hota on our expansion projects and always welcome great ideas and advice from them and their team. I would highly recommend the whole Hota team to anyone looking to have a design team that can exceeds expectations on buildout and design.

- Chase & Brooke Sams, Founders and Owners of The Mini+Bar Donuts and Coffee
