Design narrative and inspiration
’Hoodoo’ - the earths pyramid
A tall, thin rock that protrudes from the bottom of a basin or badlands. Their shapes are affected by the erosion patterns of alternating hard and softer rock layers. Minerals deposited within different rock types cause hoodoos to have different colors throughout their height and over time, cracks in the resistant layer allow the much softer rock beneath to be eroded and washed away.
The design mimicks the rock by creating strong engled ceiling and bar elements. Materials are metal and oak veneer.

Art Deco
As part of the Macy’s mall, inspiration came from the building’s Art Deco elements. The backbar wall is 16 ft high and cladded with large concrete tile and brass profiles, the seating nook is a sophisticated oasis with walls covered in a blue-to-black background wallcovering with brass scales. The coffered ceiling with brass pendants and large scale artwork accentuate the height and grandeur of the space. A black iron gate with similar angled elements separates the cafe from the rest of the mall when Macy’s is closed.
Materials are tile, wood, Corian, brass and Wallcovering.

Design Narrative & concept
LOUVERS
A very challenging space with a partial ceiling and glazing between the back bar and escalators, the design direction came from the umbrellas and huts on the beach. Acting as a reminder to travelers coming and going - the 4 wall/ceiling structures are large in scale, emulating louvers. Light wood and LED
strips behind each louver show the angles of each panel and at the same time - hide the escalators from sight.

WINDS MOVEMENT
As a kiosk with a strong visual presence, this is an opportunity to encase all sides of the black “cube” including the canopy with a ‘total design’ approach using two-tone wood slats cut in an angle and installed in a staggered pattern. The design intent is to mimic the movement of wind
