Step inside El Presidente , a vibrant and theatrical tribute to Mexico City for Stephen Starr 's high-energy concept in DC’s Union Market District. In collaboration with AvroKO , the space comes to life with bold, immersive design where every detail is part of the show.

Our extensive millwork package included a dramatic multi-tiered central bar with handcrafted joinery, along with colorful built-in cabinetry and display shelving throughout. From precise curved work to bold, large-scale architectural elements, every piece was crafted to perform in a high-volume hospitality environment.

Congratulations to Rockwell Group & the 2025 Forbes Hospitality Design List!

At Cider Press Woodworks, we believe great design starts with great collaborators and seeing Rockwell Group recognized for their exceptional hospitality work is a win for the whole design-build community. We’re humbled to be part of that legacy, having provided the custom millwork and craftsmanship for Seahorse at W Union Square.

This recognition reminds us: timeless millwork + thoughtful design = spaces that stand the test of time.

We’re proud to see Seahorse (at the W New York, Union Square) included among the upcoming restaurant projects of David Rockwell and team. As the millwork shop behind much of its custom woodwork and architectural details, Cider Press Woodworks is honored to have contributed to bringing such a bold and soulful hospitality vision to life.

See some of the millwork we executed for Seahorse: custom paneling, handcrafted finishes, and details that give the space its distinct character.

Even with 40 years of experience, designer and architect David Rockwell shows no sign of slowing down. In this interview, he discusses a couple of his upcoming projects.
