LOBBY & RECEPTION

The lobby is defined by a neutral palette which establishes the general relaxed ambiance of the interior space, a dash of colour is added with upholstery elements, inspired by "Wycinanki“, or the folk art of 'paper-cut design'. It is believed this art goes back to the time when few farm houses had glass windows. To keep out the elements, peasant farmers hung sheep skins over the window openings. Then, to let in some light and air, they took their sheep shears and snipped small openings in the skins, and these were soon recognized as decorative as well as functional.  Not only did technique inspire us with colour but also the action of paper cutting and forming intricate cuts within surfaces was be explored for surface design. 

Individual pod style desks allow the staff access directly to the guest, and allow for a greater sense of welcome and arrival.  Finishes are in wood, marble, Corian and glass.  To the rear of the reception desks is added a triptyque a key artistic piece using local imagery to reinforce a sense of place and location to the guest.
