Setting the standard for further airport improvements, this modern building is stunning in both design and technology.

BUDDHA BAR

As a sister to Buddha Bar Paris, Buddha Bar NYC had to live up to it’s namesake – an ultimate dining experience and entertainment venue. The experience begins at the entry to the restaurant where a series of gold Buddha statues greet guest as they pass through the circular corridor, lit with custom uplights. The focal point of the dining area is the towering Buddha that sits at the end of the space with under- lighting to make the statue appear to float beneath the skylight. Pin spots illuminate the dining tables and graze bamboo scrolls that form the dividing walls between spaces. Color-changing fixtures provide interest to the bar and jellyfish aquariums that lie beyond.

Color-changing LED lighting creates dynamic atmospheres for any occasion while a variety of traditional luminaires maintain the inviting warmth and old-world feel of the resort.

REFINERY HOTEL

Located in the heart of New York City’s Garment District, the Refinery Hotel was converted from a 1912 hat factory into the new face of boutique hotels.

Sleek linear lighting highlights the architectural forms and millwork throughout the spaces while Edison style bulbs and globe string lights provide an intimate setting for the rooftop bar.

HYATT REGENCY ATLANTA

Renovations to the Hyatt Regency Atlanta Hotel hold true to the design intent of Florence Knoll and John Portman, the 1960’s American design icons and original designers of the atrium-style hotel. Focusing on strong linear elements, the contemporary take on the original design is mirrored by rectilinear lighting elements in the guestrooms, lounges, and elevator lobby. Attention is drawn to the architectural elements of the spaces by cleaver use of wall grazes and ceiling coves to accent the clean lines of the ceiling planes and wall details.

ARCHITECTURE & INTERIORS – Stonehill & Taylor Architects

ROK VEGAS NIGHTCLUB

Located in the New York – New York Hotel in Las Vegas, this nightclub features an impressive video wall surrounding the dance floor. Architectural lighting throughout the space needed to be unobtrusive while complimenting the space. Linear LED lighting delineates landings, stairs, and other architectural elements.

STAY HOTEL

Pushing the creative envelope, this Time Square Hotel features two, multi-story, projector-based displays, setting it apart from the LED digital displays that cover Time Square.
