Auction House Food Hall
A HIVE Collective Collaboration
Once an auction house built in the 1940s, a two-story building in Fletcher, North Carolina will host five tenants owned and operated by KO Restaurant Group. The Auction House will serve as a second location for Greenville favorites KO Burger and Mercado Cantina. The fully renovated 6,600+ square feet will also welcome three new restaurants — Fish Camp 25, Blue Collar Bourbon Social, and AuctionAuction House Wine Bar. Outdoor seating on both levels will overlook a half-acre grassy lawn complete with more seating and a fully equipped stage for live music and other events. Like the fun brands about to call this place home, the building itself is full of character. Linsey and her collaborating partners are especially excited about the exposed wood and metal framed ceilings and look forward to incorporating as much site-salvaged wood into built-in features. Many local creatives are coming together as part of HIVE Collective to bring this unique concept to life.
Retro-style smash burgers + ice cream, fish sandwiches and lobster rolls, Yucatán-inspired cuisine + mezcal cocktails, bourbon + bar snacks, freshly poured wine + charcuterie board, live music + room to roam, all in one place?!? Dreams really do come true!
Linsey’s Scope
-
In collaboration with HIVE Collective, Linsey and creative colleagues specialize in retail, restaurant, medical, and hospitality design. Passionate about innovative solutions and appreciative of unique talents, they push the limits of design by introducing thoughtful details that create harmonious experiences. Through a boutique approach, clients are provided with a new or refreshed environment designed in a beautifully functional way, keeping in mind the space, the brand, and the people connected to it.
-
Sourcing her educational and professional training, Linsey offers two-dimensional and three-dimensional interior and exterior renderings to architects, builders, developers, designers, and product manufacturers. Skilled in both digital and hand-drafting techniques, detailed drawings and artful vignettes are highly effective visual aids for these professionals when proposing their design intent to clientele, investors, and fabricators.
-
In collaboration with HIVE Collective and their combined experience in visual merchandising and showroom design, Display + Exhibit Design* is a highly-customized service that varies from client to client. From custom-built displays tailored to your specific product lines to strategic lighting, artful windows, and supporting graphics, our mission is to improve sales and provide a customer experience unique to your business that strengthens their connection to your brand.
-
Typically referring to mass-manufactured items such as paper goods and apparel, Linsey offers illustration and custom surface pattern design as a unique way to expand brand identity and messaging from thoughtful accents across print and digital materials to custom wallpaper or upholstery for a place of business.

Extending beyond your basic signage, this layered service merges graphic design, architecture, art, lighting, landscaping, and other fields to enhance the user experience of an interior or exterior space. Well-designed environmental graphics – sometimes referred to as experiential graphics – successfully accomplishes three things:
Communicates information – where a visitor is physically situated within the space and why, where in that space they need/want to go, and how to find their way there
Communicates identity – who’s space are they in, what kind of experience they can expect
Connects people to place – what experience are they associating with their time in that space, and what makes them want to return
This highly customized service encompasses distinct but overlapping areas of focus including way-finding systems and placemaking, retail display, exhibition design, mural design, branded spaces, and more, and typically incorporate marketing and advertising efforts.
To offer creative, safe, and accessible solutions, Linsey references her education, experiences, and skill sets in building design and general construction, codes and regulations, fabrication practices, material performance, and interior and graphic design.
