Gold Key – Lobby Luxury
The Highlights: Designers faced two challenges at this beloved resort. First, how to tackle the massive renovation? Second, what’s the best way to spotlight and embrace local culture to create an authentic and contemporary experience? The answer: Give it some soul. At the heart of the public space is a loggia around which the program unfolds. There, a centuries-old canoe, a remnant of the property’s previous life, highlights the base of the central stair. In the multistory atrium, the design team crafted a central hale structure, added murals by local artists, and created seating zones to control circulation.
