INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO

Having passion towards things in life is a quality I find very intriguing, both in others and in myself. To pursue things you love gives allure to daily life.

This is how I want to imbue my career. When Hospitality Design becomes a lifestyle; passion is triggered. I was 15 years old having dinner at Sushi Samba in Chicago when I caught myself watching a group of trendylooking, jovial people clinking glasses under a sparkling light fixture in a booth surrounded by hanging beads. In this moment it struck me; I want to create invigorating spaces where people gather and experience life. From there, I began incorporating design education (hand drafting and AutoCAD classes) to my already full high school schedule, doodling floor plans in my school notebooks in the meantime. I chose a very small, dedicated Fine Art school in Nashville to suit my specific and tailored learning style. Quite quickly it became apparent I wanted Hospitality Design to be my focus. During

my college years, I attended the Hospitality Design Conferences in Las Vegas and Miami where I met panel speakers, hotel brand owners, and major designers whom I still meet with. These networking skills serve as one of my strongest attributes. Due to my continued attendance and fostering of these relationships, I was able to create speaking opportunities for my firms’ partners at the conferences. My coworkers have described me as the “welcome wagon” or the “optimist” always in good spirits, reminding others of the classic line, “Its just a hotel room and we’re not curing cancer here.”

It is beyond apparent based on my portfolio, work ethic, and even personal life choices (always checking out that new hotel/restaurant) that I am locked in to contributing to the Food, Beverage, and Hospitality Industry! To come full circle, my first boss in New York was part of the team that designed that Sushi Samaba in Chicago; the restaurant that made me choose my career.

Hotels:

Dedicated to Brooklyn’s Waterfront

a

bout

Overlooking Brooklyn Bridge Park, the East River and lower Manhattan, the hotel draws inspiration from all things Brooklyn, the history of the wharf that originally occupied the site and the nature of the Park. The mission driven 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge Park is REAL green development with the hotel financing the creation of this extraordinary public park. INC drew the park directly into the hotel by opening up the entire ground floor visually to the exterior and blurring the lines between inside and out with greenery and natural materials evocative of the adjacent park landscape. Identifying the Brooklyn design culture we worked with local “Brooklyn makers” to create crafty, natural, and homegrown pieces. Everyone said we should write a book about this hotel because almost every piece of furniture, material, or architectural move has a story behind it.

The hotel had a goal to define luxury in this causal phenomenon. Everything needed to look like it had been worn in for years. The design director for SH Group said “if it looks like it washed up on the bank of the East River - it belongs in the hotel.” We used lots of raw leather (six custom colors, to be exact), nautical rope, stone, wood, and blackened steel. This hotel quickly became the bread and butter of material and furniture references for INC soon after. It was truly an experience to work on this hotel everyday for almost two years. Because it was local, I could take the ferry across to go to site in the mornings and we could visit all the workshops of the bearded, Brooklyn furniture makers weekly.

1Hotel Brooklyn Bridge won many design awards. Tourist and local designers alike say the this hotel just feels like home.

Hotels:

of Old School homage and vanguard progressiveness

a

bout

A bipartisan aesthetic, if you will. Located in Adams Morgan one of Washington DC’s most diverse neighborhoods, the Line DC is the second location, after Koreatown LA, in the genesis of this hotel property. Adams Morgan neighborhood has a locals only atmosphere which brings a relaxed environment inside.

Inspired by the district and housed inside a 110-year old historic church, the LINE DC is the product of a community effort by local chefs, bartenders, and artists. Full Service Radio broadcasts live from the hotel lobby daily, while celebrated chefs like the James Beard award winning Spike Gjerde of Baltimore’s Woodberry Kitchen and Erik Bruner-Yang of DC’s Maketto embrace the region’s diversity with American and international culinary experiences. The church interiors were re-purposed to include the hotel lobby, two bars, two restaurants and banqueting spaces. The towers were newly constructed in an old school mid-rise masonry building

developed at the rear of the property, for the hotel rooms, connected by a giant ramp after “blowing through” the back wall of the church. Imagined as the “parsonage” or “seminary” backdrop to the church’s iconic figure, the new structure was elaborated as a back-to-the-future homage to the history of the site. Amplified by Adams Morgan’s eclectic personality, this hotel delivers a richly layered experience where old & new, young & established, local and globe trotting rub shoulders. We mixed these juxtaposing concepts throughout the hotel as if “the kids took over the church.” The pews that once lived in the church got sprinkled around the public spaces and we “dipped them” in vibrant colors. We took classic furniture shapes and upholstered it in a modern, colorful fabric.

We used geometric shapes to modernize old things. But, perhaps, the most exciting thing was to use the pipes from the old organ to make a giant chandelier.

Hotels:

would stay and throw a party

a

bout

We wanted to create a suite that was luxurious and tranquil but also where you could throw a wild party. The imaginary duo we channeled who would throw that rager was James Bond and Rhianna. The sexiest mixture of mystery, class, and scandal. The suite is two levels.

Hopefully the first thing you notice when you walk in is the ceiling. It’s a regimented pattern of light coves in a plaster ceiling to ripple effect out from the porthole in which you can see up in the bottom of the jacuzzi above.

This makes more sense in the context of the rest of the hotel with all an circle window facade, and the same concept of looking up into the pool from the lobby bar. The living

room of the suite is an intricate millwork package that folds in a TV, sound system, camera, and Murphy bed. The bar is an 8’ log of petrified wood on a custom steel frame.

The bedroom has a large upholstered wall as the headboard with more circle window cut outs that you can see into the shower. The master bath shower was seriously tricked out with about eight body sprays, three shower heads with speakers in them, a handshower; all touchscreen automated. The powder room walls were cladded with a custom, hand cut glass mosaic pattern in black, gold, and white done by this crazy lady with a mosaic company in Manhattan.

Like A Party Inside the NYE Ball

a

bout

This $7M renovation of only the 7th floor Lobby of this W Hotel was a blast to design.

The firm I worked on this with were nightclub designers, so there was no shortage of visually energizing ideas. We wanted this space to feel like you were inside the Times Square NYC Ball. The octagonal openings of the VIP Niches, the gold foil wallcovering, and the sparkly ombre upholstery helped to communicate this. Every piece in this small space was custom designed. One of the bar tables was a giant piano with infinity

mirrors on the top reflecting light around it.

We created a giant lazer cut screen with a pattern of a “deconstructed NYE ball.” T he DJ booth was quite literally the ball. It was on a track so it could spin around. This place is also dripping in neon light fixtures. It was one of my first custom furniture drawing packages to complete and as you can see from these images, the amount of angles, obscure detailing, and stitching patterns were out of control.

Hotels:

The Joseph Nashville of the Haute Honky Tonk City

a

bout

Where contemporary southern charm and vintage southern revival mix.

This Italian owned, Nashville located hotel is La Dolce Vita - The Sweet Life. Being from Nashville and designing a hotel that both tourists and locals would enjoy that is not the typical, cheesy “honky tonk, country music, cowboy boot inspired” was a bit of a challenge especially since the ownership was pushing this cliché pretty hard. Here we took the approach of translating these things with shapes and material by using tooled leather, denim colors, and mother of pearl insets to

mimic the inlays in a guitar fret board. There were lots of parties involved in this hotel that gave their opinions on style, design, operations, cost, and brand standards so we had to find the common ground and solve these problems while still hopefully creating a beautiful hotel. During the very long design and construction process (which is still going on. You’ll see it if you drive by 4th Ave and Korean Veterans Blvd) the acquisition of Starwood Hotels and Resorts by Marriott happened, which was interesting to be a part of that transition.

This project was very interesting. Our scope was just an interior finish refresh; no hard construction. The process was a little bit like Tetris trying to pieces together the history of the documentation of the property, refer to our iPhone taken site photos (which I have included the raw footage here), and hiring a

survey team who didn’t really even capture the correct scope.The property is very well known and returning guest love it for what it is, but it desperately needed an overhaul.

I transitioned from the project designer to the Job Captain in the middle of the design process, which was rewarding.

Hotel

Located in Austin, TX, AirBnb has teamed up with a developer to newly construct a new 33 floor tower of “Condo/Hotels” There are 250 units. 200 of which people can buy, the others can be leased out or simply AirBnb-ed out. There will be amenities like a condo, but it will operate like a hotel. The guest should feel like they live there. This concept is going to shake up the Hospitality Industry a little.

My hotelier friends are the only ones not excited about this competition. Austin is one

of these second tier cities that is exploding.

The culture is very quirky and proud of its local culture. The plan is to have lots of local furniture makers participate in parts of the interiors package. Another challenge is they ownership wants the units to be furnished and furnished differently. Variation through size, color, and shape will be the tactic to tackle this. This project is no stranger to color paired next to rough, handmade, and rustic materials.

Honing in on what was once exciting, adventurous and romantic about train travel, this old train station is now a hotel.

Part of the Historic Hotels Of America, it desparately needs to be risen from the dead.

We were tasked with a refresh of the lobby, but as we worked with these clients the

scope continually and rapidly mulitplied. We personified the mash up of travelers both classic and modern; The Intrepid Traveler and the Romantic traveler. Old forms, classic materials, and good lighting is hopefully the potion to revitilize this property.

Momofuku Noodle Bar Mad Scientist Laboratory

bout Located in the Time Warner Center Mall in Columbus Circle in New York City, David Cheng is the scientist behind Momofuku.

This kitchen was designed for him to be open and exploded into the dining room where all is visible as his laboratory and he the mad scientist. The space has a 50/50 ratio of kitchen to dining space, so creating ample surface for noodle slurping was a challenge, thus, we designed one long banquette with flip up table tops for groups of all sizes from two to twelve. Tucked into the other side are small two-seater booths. This dining section, with detailed server stations folded in, was

named “the cabooth”. Sandwiching the cabooth are the noodle bar and the drinking bar with a peninsula-like end to the bar where seats wrap around, which was named “Montauk.” There are also fewer corners or sharp edges than we thought could be possible. Full bullnose edge bar, pill shaped ceiling popups with a bullnose edge and rolling, channel tufted seat back upholstery that we called “hot dogs” and the rounded corner connection of the bar we referred to that technique as “butts and buns.” Essentially our design meetings were spoken in another language.

Latour Foraging to Table Nature’s Dining Room

a

bout Restaurant Latour is located in Crystal Spring’s Grand Cascades Lodge. The 40 seat fine dining restaurant has arguably one of the best wine collections in the world. They started with a bottle from Chateau Latour from 1888. The Chef and Sommelier constantly collaborate for a food and wine pairing experience that is mind blowing. Its truthfully more about the wine that it is the food here. Located at the foot of the Kittatany Mountains in Hamburg, NJ, nature was the primary

inspiration here. We brought the forest into the dining room with real bark wall panels, linen draping from the ceiling, and moss colored chair upholstery.

The focal point of the dining room is the panoramic view, so we put antique mirrors at the back of the bar to reflect the view in any direction you look. To tie in some elegance and sparkle, we sourced JT Kalmar vintage light fixtures that bring to most gorgeous crystal glow to the dining room.

Food that tastes good, looks good, and most of all makes you feel good” says CEO, Founder and RD Robbie Nowenski. This was his 5th location and juice kitchen for all other locations. We wanted it to be the “grown up and more sophisticated sister” of the other locations. The challenge

was using inexpensive materials in a classic and efficient way. The design imbues the healing atmosphere of the cafe with a natural color pallete and biophilic design elements. A local artist painted the “rose” in their logo at a magnified scale on the exposed concrete.

She also painted a mural on the walls to emphasize the scale shift of the square tiles throughout the space.

Four Walls Inspired by Dolly & Hank

bout This is the basement bar located within The Joseph Nashville Hotel. This effort to push the project past the finish line employed my Nashville Firm - not the Firm that initially designed the entire hotel. The Client’s words were “well Riley Miller just left INC and is now at Hastings. Lets hire her since she’s now local” This was a very fun project because I go the freedom to do “whatever I want” so of course

there is fringe hanging from the ceiling, hair on hide columns and gold wallcovering. Four Walls offers an understated experience of discovery and exclusivity and a super rich color palette. Taking inspirations from Dolly’s fringe coat, gold accents in Hank’s guitars, and an inspiration from the art collection the client has, we hope this lounge awakes a new sense of creativity in patrons and tourists alike.

The first restaurant I ever designed! The first friend I ever made when I moved to New York City became my first client in New York City. I tried to start this project as a side hustle but soon found out I had no extra time and this was a lot of work. So, I brought the scope of the project into my Firm at the time.

Then with these resources we were able to create something special. These guys were Italian and Albanian restaurant owners that were hilarious to work with. We were inspired by old Italian cars, Italian marble and San Marzano tomatoes. The bathroom had an

old school pull chain toilet and we ordered a bunch of decks of this old Italian card game and made a custom wall-covering out of them. The restaurant was open kitchen with the centerpiece being the wood fired pizza oven. From the outside, you could also walk up and order pizza slices from the slice shop in the back. This was a mini project in its own because it had an entirely different kitchen and aesthic. We covered the walls in oversized penny tiles and the floors in a very kitchy, cartoon looking wood grain tile. The whole space was boldly black and white.

Condominiums:

121 E 22nd Culture Clash

This condominium project is located on the border of two distinct neighborhoods.

Situated between the natural domestic beauty of Gramarcy Park and the distinctly urban character of the Madison Square Neighborhood, the concept of “duality” emerged. The building façade, conceptualized

by Shohei Shigematsu of OMA New York, is a study in contrasts. A grid of “New York Deco” inspired windows clashes with a tessellated organic geometry to create a dynamic hybrid.

This bled into the development of the project interiors. Highly polished, abstract materials like mirror, black glass and satin lacquer are

juxtaposed with very rough or active materials like figured marbles and concrete plaster.

The decorative elements throughout follow a similar logic with contrasts of softness, hardness, faceted forms, and curvaceous ones. OMA’s design idiom is rooted in 1970s & 80s Neo-modernism. This era was characterized by a hopeful, heroic, and even cheerful modernism that we channeled in the interior furnishings with soft colors, and playful graphic forms. The coexistence of these elements created a gorgeous final package.

Condominium:

A Modernist Reinterpretation

a

bout

The quote from my design director, Adam Rolston, serves at the perfect summary to this project “Parlour is not a copy of a brownstone, it’s a memory of one.” It is a beautiful mid rise building with true masonry arches, one of which is extruded through the building to create a vaulted arch tunnel that serves as the main lobby. The units are very large (for New York’s usual shoebox sized apartments) and have a spectacular downtown view of Manhattan. There was also a small series of

custom furniture that was created for the lobby, which are possibly some my favorite pieces ever. We worked with a branding team that were very involved and used stories of where materials, patterns, and concepts came from to create a very specific and intricate identity for the building and the neighborhood. This was one of INC’s first facade designs which opened to door to us doing some “Capital A” Architecture projects later on. It all started with the arch.

Multi Family:

Kane Classic Victorian

Kane’s multi-family downtown south pays homage To Raleigh's rich history while reflecting the vibrancy and pulse of it’s community. Classic Victorian elements such as ironwork, wood paneling and curved detailing are modernly reinterpreted and serve as the architectural backdrop for the amenity interiors. These characteristics are then fused with the playful sophistication that so embodies the city of Raleigh. Finishes and furnishings also play an important role in the amenity spaces, juxtaposing classic lines with pops of color, texture and pattern to reflect

Raleigh's energetic culture. Similarly, Kane's multi-family downtown south takes a contemporary approach to nature by subtly infusing the local landscape into terraced spaces, seen in the likes of wrapped trellises and arching greens.

Old school fitness equipment and accessories quickly became a trend in these small gym projects. Mixed with modern, brightly colored tile and sleek new fitness equipment, the clash of new and old was quite charming.

This gym was part of a massive warehouse renovation into multi use building in downtown Los Angeles, so of course there was an outdoor lounge and a juice bar too.
