The Sunspot restaurant relocation project merges three existing structures into a vibrant gathering hub, bridging the UT campus and neighboring communities with its motto: “Where tie-dyes and neckties unite!”
The renovation involved completely gutting and restructuring the existing building to accommodate a roof deck overlooking Cumberland Avenue.

The exterior design pays homage to the restaurant’s name with bold, bright yellow accents contrasting against a gray two-story element, creating a visually striking facade. Inside, a spacious kitchen caters to an extensive menu featuring Southwestern, Caribbean, and Latin American fare, while two bars offer a wide array of beverage options.
Vintage fixtures and seating at large family-style tables contribute to the restaurant’s laid-back vibe, enhancing its appeal as a welcoming and inclusive dining destination.
