Eliana de Leon awarded for work at new Geneseo Inn
–Eliana de Leon, an interior designer based in Paso Robles, recently won the 2021 Metal Architecture Design Award in the Interiors Category; the judges reviewed her work done at the Geneseo Inn, a bed and breakfast located at Cass Winery’s vineyard.
“It was a successful collaboration between Alice and Steve Cass, Ted Plemons [the owners] and me,” de Leon said. “It was energizing to present atypical ideas and materials to clients that were on board with ‘designing outside the box’. As soon as I heard from Ted that future guests would be staying in actual freight containers positioned within the vines, I knew I had to come up with unique ideas to mesh with their vision and help create an extraordinary experience. We agreed that the interiors needed to be ‘edgy’ to match this special concept,” she said.
