Supply & Demand is a speakeasy in the heart of Buckhead underneath Churchills. Entering around back, the over scaled gas lantern draws you in to an environment where historic elements reminiscent of the old Atlanta abound. The tile and Marble create intricate patterns across the floor, surrounded by heavy wood clad walls create a sense of timeless beauty, offset by glamorous wallcoverings of pressed black feather and silver hexagons of glass.

Sun Palace, in the heart of the Hotel Zone is a unique and contemporary destination. We began by looking at the town of Nizuc, the pre-Columbian Mayan fishing village, known today as Cancun. We also took inspiration from the sun elements of Maya culture, referring back to the name of the hotel. The fishing village concept takes center stage, dictating the development of elements like the simple crystal fishing net chandelier, or the blown glass fishing bob artwork.

The pool bar is simple, creating a luxurious and casual environment for a snack during a day at the pool or beach. A wood banquette structure defines the space in a sawtooth pattern, (again pulled from Mayan architecture), complete with outdoor cushions in warm colors. Woven rope sculptures adorn the back walls, backed by soft orange paint. Bougainville vines crawl up the back, getting light from the light well at the back of the space. Loose tables and chairs create additional seating.

Duality. Two sides to this hotel. The Atlanta of the past and the Atlanta of the present. The Hilton Garden Inn is a reflection of the new Atlanta; a hub of business, lush in landscape and known as “the city of trees”. Guests are greeted by natural elements of wood and stone amid comfortable furnishings in bright colors. The back-lit reception wall is reminiscent of the dramatic sunset visible from the Lobby. A feature fireplace divides the lobby from the nearby restaurant.
Upon entering the bar, the eye is drawn toward the ceiling, which draws inspiration from nearby Piedmont Park. Columns of wood stretch down to the lobby like trees framing a jogging path, while a canopy of wood beams stretch across the ceiling. The area rugs appear to be cast shadows from the trees above, while contemporary cloud-like light fixtures float through the space.

A port city formed centuries ago, Tianjin granted concession neighborhoods to countries trading with China. The Ritz Carlton is located in the British Concession and pulls cues from the surrounding gothic architecture as well as the regional Chinese influence, and other nearby buildings. The intricate inlaid stone lobby floor was inspired by the flooring in a nearby building; while the traditional applied stone molding is anything but, wrapping the corners of walls and columns.
The quatrefoil, pulled from a nearby church, plays into the dramatic inlaid floor pattern from the lobby. Reiterated on the back wall is another quatrefoil in an elaborate double edge back-lit satin finished nickel, floating in front of carved platinum leather panels in a subtle Chinese pattern. The desk takes its inspiration from a centuries old traditional Chinese table, reimagined in luscious red glass and framed in intricately detailed marble.
Rich marble at each guestroom entry leads to a well-appointed interior. A carved wall, just inside the entry is reminiscent of a wall in an ancient Tianjin garden. The guestroom features a meticulously detailed headboard and entertainment wall, inspired by British concession-era Tianjin interior details. Custom furnishings are soft, warm, and inviting. The carved, curved stone wall continues inside the luxurious bath leaving one the feeling that no detail was too insignificant.

This Guangzhou Luxury Hotel is an inviting escape from the energy of this dynamic city. Like a geode, the rough surface of the city disappears when you enter the clean and sparkling interior of the hotel. Simple lines shape the wood pylons at the entry, framing the wall of glittering fish swimming up the wall beyond.
The lobby lounge connects with natural elements by extending the lobby pools through exterior window walls into the landscaped garden, casually erasing the separation between insides and outside. The outdoors continues to influence with fire bowls floating in the water. The bar itself features a huge trellis of bronze rings between wood slats that turn and climb down the wall to form the back bar.

We were asked to participate in HI Connect Design, a tradeshow where attendees are immersed in real “vignette” environments. We began research, forecasting where growth opportunities may lie, and chose Brazil, a country soon hosting the World Cup, the Olympics, and estimated to become the world’s 5th largest oil exporting country by 2020. Inspiration was drawn from the Feather Headdresses of Carnival, crocheted street lanterns, and intricate patterns from ancient tribal cultures.

With the name Le Blanc, (The White), light meets sophistication in a hotel that takes a back seat to the dramatic colors of the ocean. Guests are greeted by a shimmering wave of white metallic fabric, forming a chandelier at the end of the lobby that extends into the lobby lounge in sweeping movements, creating soft walls that ensconce guests in luxurious circular seating groups. Views from the lobby extend past this feature to showcase the infinity pools, and beyond, the views of the ocean.
Intimate seated stone reception desks are beneath a silver-taupe marble casing. Fractured mirror wraps the side walls and ceiling, while the back wall is a soft taupe grass cloth backing a new feature art piece by a local Mexican artist. A raised platform elevates the lobby lounge directly across from reception, replete with sleek and sensual pieces. A large drum shade upholstered in contrasting fabrics grounds the higher ceilings, centered on the seating groups.
The Presidential Suite is finished off in a soft ash open pore wood finish. Custom furnishings create two distinct areas for living and dining. New artwork and mirrors anchor the sides of the space, while the TV is mounted to a custom upholstered leather wall concealing the drapery and centered on the stunning views of the ocean floor. Silver and cream are the prominent colors, accentuated by Champaign and a pale greyed lavender.

A Miami Landmark, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel guestrooms retain a Zen harmony in an urban environment by blending Asian influences with subtle Miami beach art deco aesthetics and vibrant color. Custom furniture showcases the state-of-the-art technology while never ignoring guest comforts. Color, texture and pattern create a peaceful, yet understated elegance. Subtle Asian references are found in bed linen details and the carpet pattern without disturbing the clean and modern aesthetic.
Subtle Asian touches continue with the pleated custom Obi Belt detail on the decorative bed pillows, finished with an embroidery detail. A bespoke fabric beneath of delicate color coordinated flowers wraps the pillows themselves, while drawer pulls of polished nickel sit on matching chopstick rests. The rounded corners of the case goods are reminiscent of the local art deco architecture, while the materials of coconut shell, pin shell, and palm wood reference the tropical setting.
