The client wanted a homey atmosphere, so reception is designed as a living room with floor lamps, area rug and vintage modern furniture. The open layout table arrangements and custom bookshelves with an eclectic book collection are inspired by refectory & reading tables and create a new temple to self-edification in a reading room of sorts. The main salon is ringed with red terrazzo floors inset with wide-plank oak. Squiggly LED light fixtures, decorative bubble lamps and track lighting illuminate the space. The salon was designed in 6 weeks and constructed in 8.
