The Residences at




GILDED TAVERN THE Res��g��ce Spa






grand foyer
Drawing inspiration from classical Greek architecture, tall Doric columns, intricate wainscoting, archways, and detailing define the space. Large crystal chandeliers and organic iron railings create an elegant atmosphere that is carried throughout the hotel into each space.


LOBBY
Acting as a continuation of the main entry, repeating elements such as wainscoting, columns, and chandeliers, create a cohesive space. Coffered ceilings add depth and integrate cove lighting to indicate seating groups. Multiple seating groups alleviate excessive foot traffic and crowding to create an optimal guest experience.









GILDED
TAVERN
The majestic and legendary creature, the griffin inspires the design for the restaurant. With a color scheme drawn from the sun kissed skies and rich golden finishes representing treasures protected by the griffin, brass light fixtures, coffered ceilings, thick crown molding and other subtle nods to the griffin’s lore create an atmosphere that is both magical and inviting.










Res��g��ce Spa
The mythical phoenix bird, an embodiment of renewal and transformation inspires a spa that incorporates a fiery color scheme, natural elements, and brass fixtures to create a space for guests to relax and embrace renewal. A custom reception desk includes feather like forms as a subtle nod to the bird.









guest rooms
Inspired by the delicate beauty of fairies, the guest room design encapsulates the essence of nature’s enchanting secrets with natural wall covering, carpet, and bedding. This fairy-inspired design promises an unforgettable stay, where the magic of the enchanted world becomes a cherished memory.

Existing building elements such as the original State Bank safe are used as a focal point that the company logo is inspired by. Mirrored wall and ceiling details create the illusion of a larger space while the skylight provides natural light. Art Deco elements such as layered shapes, symmetry, and rectilinear geometry complete the space.




PRIVATE DINING
Featuring replicated design elements, the private dining area is equally as detailed as the main dining area below. Located on the mezzanine and accessible by stair and elevator, the space provides guests privacy and a sense of confidence during their dining experience.

WORKSTATIONS
Flexible work areas with integrated technology increase collaboration among employees and create a comfortable and versatile work environment. Grid like patterns are repeated throughout the space to tie the design back to the reception. The black painted ceiling and linear lighting fixtures elongate the space while concealing the exposed ceiling structure.








CLIENT PRESENTATION
Angular elements and wood finishes inspired by the characteristics of hand drafting tools continue into this space. A waterfall ceiling detail draws clients eyes to the front of the room while frosted glass creates privacy to ensure client meetings remain attentive and proactive.








CAFE
Bright wood tones, natural lighting, and outdoor views connect employees with nature and boost overall employee morale. Dropped ceiling elements separate the space to indicate seating and counter space. Multiple seating options allow space for informal work meetings, lunch, or socialization.

Taking inspiration from the organic shapes produced from branching trees and the rigid, metal finishes seen all around the man-made world, this design utilizes contrasting shape and textural elements to create a unique and comforting piece.
