Project Description
Inside the Roosevelt Hotel on the iconic Walk of Fame, a 300 SF mezzanine alcove became a jewel box-like environment for a high-end boutique by capturing Hollywood’s mélange of extravagance, glamor, and humor. The arched top of a huge window on the hotel’s façade became a dramatic backdrop and display wall that allows sunlight to stream into the small space. The design juxtaposes the huge arch and a ponderous concrete beam overhead with such luxe materials as lacquered maple paneling and “floating” glass display shelving. A sliding jewelry vitrine projects beyond the space to lure hotel guests and visitors in the lobby up to the boutique.
