  • Geometric Chandeliers: Custom cubic milk-glass fixtures providing diffused, warm illumination.
  • Gold Leaf Ceiling: Metallic ceiling finish that reflects the amber light, enhancing the "golden hour" mood.
  • Mezzanine Levels: Upper-level walkways overlooking the main hall, creating vertical depth.
  • Columnar Lighting: Vertical light strips integrated into the stone pillars to accentuate height.
  • Velvet Furnishings: Plush, curved armchairs in neutral tones softening the hard architectural lines.

Architectural approach

  • Historic Reverence: Prioritizing the preservation of the original 1920s architectural character.
  • Geometric Rigor: Adhering to a strict mathematical grid in both structure and decoration.
  • Atmospheric Lighting: Using warm color temperatures (2700K) to create a sense of desert sunset inside.
  • Material Authenticity: Celebrating the raw texture of concrete blocks rather than covering them.
  • Scale & Intimacy: Creating intimate seating clusters within a cavernous, cathedral-like volume.
