We’re not usually ones to shout, but this one deserves a moment. Acacia is proud to have been recognized in the Spring 2025 issue of Design Solutions Magazine for our contribution to Maverick Natural Resources’ Houston headquarters, an award-winning project that set a new standard for what corporate interiors can (and should) be.
In partnership with Abel Design Group, O’Donnell Snider Construction, and J. Tyler Services, we helped bring to life a space that’s as strategic as it is stunning, and we’re honored to see it celebrated on a national stage.
A Space That Does More Than Look Good
This wasn’t a surface-level renovation. The project called for custom architectural woodwork that could deliver impact, functionality, and finesse– all within an accelerated timeline. We responded with a full suite of handcrafted elements, engineered to meet exacting design and performance standards.
Among our contributions: a commanding Walnut and stone reception desk, a showstopping wood-and-leather conference table, and intricately detailed executive workstations. From ceiling panels to custom portals, every piece was built to elevate the experience of the people who use the space every single day.
Millwork That Makes a Statement
Materials mattered. The design team at Abel called for light-colored Walnut with a clean, striated grain– a challenging ask, given the natural variability of the species. We sourced, bleached, and finished every veneer and board to meet the brief. Then we applied advanced veneer matching techniques, book matching, sequencing, end matching, and blueprint matching, to ensure a seamless and sophisticated result
The centerpiece? A custom-built CEO desk with integrated actuators, hidden storage, and structural metal detailing. Equal parts sculpture and workspace, it’s a perfect example of how Acacia marries engineering, ergonomics, and craft, all while keeping aesthetics front and center.
Award-Winning for a Reason
What made this project worthy of Design Solutions Magazine? It wasn’t just the finishes (though we’re proud of every one). It was the collaboration. From early input with the design team to final install support with O’Donnell Snider Construction and furnishings via J. Tyler Services, the execution was seamless. Every decision was grounded in partnership, precision, and pride.
At Acacia, we’re known for turning high-pressure timelines into highly polished outcomes. And while we don’t usually seek the spotlight, it’s moments like this: when craft and collaboration are recognized at the industry’s highest level, that remind us why we do what we do.
This was more than a project. It was a story told in wood, stone, leather, and light, and we’re proud to have been part of the team that brought it to life.
Award-winning millwork. Beautiful results. Zero drama. That’s Acacia.
