The design objective was to incorporate contemporary elements within the existing historic building to create a sophisticated hospitality atmosphere with upscale amenities. The design team addressed these objective by inserting an oversized feature wall in the center of the lobby. This serves a dual purpose as the entry focal point and an anchor for the reception desk. A dramatic effect was created through the juxtaposition of the contemporary feature wall, comprised of sculptural panels and cylindrical lighting, with the existing ornate plaster ceilings and Corinthian marble columns.
