Design Features

  • That domed ceiling above the seating area carries two full cascades of crystal strands dropping down at different lengths, each one catching the light from the gold leaf carvings framing the dome's edge.
  • Behind the seating a curved marble staircase winds up toward a mezzanine level, its brass trimmed steps giving the whole entrance hall a real sense of arrival before you even sit down.
  • There's a gold sculptural tree tucked into an arched stone niche on the far wall. Surrounded by all that marble and mirror, it's the one thing in the room that reads purely as art.
  • The sofas and armchairs don't sit in straight rows here. They curve into a rounded cluster instead, which helps the seating area feel intimate despite how high the ceiling runs above it.
  • Sage green cushions are scattered through the ivory seating, just enough to stop the room from tipping fully into gold and cream.
