Role: Lead Interior Designer Hand Sketch By Others
Established in 1925, this incredible structure was originally built as a Machine Shop where wrought-iron straps for carriages and horse shoes were made. In 2022, the space re-opened as a fine dining restaurant named after the owner’s eldest daughter - Amelia Gene. Our design for the space was inspired by the parallel crafts of a blacksmith and a chef and the burning embers which they both would see. In order to preserve the historic building, the original shell remained mostly untouched - a raw cement frame with blackened steel accents & machinery still intact. Our design featured an over-scaled copper “hood” over the exposition kitchen to highlight the focal craft of the newly defined space. A dazzling chandelier cascades over the dining rooms, designed to embody the burning embers of the forgery & the kitchen fire. Plush leather banquettes and soft flowing velvet curtains add a needed layer of softness over these rough industrial elements.

WESTIN LOBBY
Pod Section View Scale: 1/2” = 1’-0”
The Westin Beach Resort & Spa at Frenchman’s Reef sits at the highest on a rugged cliff, overlooking the picturesque Pacquerera Bay. Guests are welcomed to paradise with a lobby oasis unlike any other. Influenced by the Caribbean Sea, volcanic formed terra and whisps of St. Thomas skies the design of the Westin lobby is informed through a regional, organic lens. The volcanic environment shaped St. Thomas’ hilly terrain and cliffs where island succulent shrubs are rooted. The isle’s indigenous fauna vacillates from thorny flowering cacti to vividly colored delicate orchids. A spectacular cactus that blooms a single bloom, the Night Blooming Cereus, can be found on St. Thomas. This one of a kind Night Blooming Cereus inspired a custom hand-made bas plaster relief behind the reception desks – the focal point of the space. Organic luminescent pendants dancing upon the ceiling guide guests from the entryway through the space, like jellyfish drifting through the ocean. On one side of the lobby, the local flora itself becomes the main feature as luscious plants cascading from a live green wall, formed in the likeness of the three US Virgin islands. Meanwhile, across the lobby guests are able to take in their first glimpse of the sparkling reflections of the sea and breathe in the warm Caribbean air in this open air lobby. A feature “well” invites revitalization and welcomes socialization as the guests journey to wellness begins.

Leather Column Wrap Hand-Carved in Mexico
Built in 1930 by Conrad Hilton, this art deco hotel was restored to it’s orginal granduer with a complete historic renovation. Our team designed a restaurant and bar in the original historic lobby atrium. This began by reinstating the double-height space, which had been capped during a previous renovation, to bring back the grand entrance. The focal point is the back bar, rising 40 feet high and displaying one of the state’s largest tequila collections behind a beautiful deco display of amber glass and polished stainless steel. A new staircase is partially concealed behind the bar and amber glass, providing access to the wall of tequila above and a private dining space located in the former trunk and boiler rooms below. Using a collection of historic resources, we developed a palette of rich walnut wood, velvet and mohair fabrics, warm brass metals and hand tooled leather into the interior design of the bar and restaurant. Contemporary furnishings blend luxury with rough-hewn Texan casual elegance. Custom designed light fixtures borrow details from original lighting, while hand-tooled leather panels made by Mexican artisans wrap columns and kitchen counters. A combination of the carefully restored original terracotta flooring and new polished concrete creates a layered texture that puts the building’s authentic character on display. Each peice of furniture, finish selection and millwork motif were carefully crafted to celebrate the historic origin with a warm modern twist.
