Hotel Lucia – Portland, Oregon
Services Employed: Interior Design, Renovation, Space Planning, Graphic Design
CLIENT: Aspen Imperial LLC
CLIENT GOAL: Transform a run down hotel into a high design boutique.
DESIGN RESPONSE: Portland’s hippest and most celebrated hotel, renamed “Hotel Lucia.” Quirky sculpture, vibrant contemporary paintings and Pulitzer-Prize winner David Hume Kennerly’s 679 black and white photographs make the lobby feel like a jewel-toned art gallery. At the reception desk light saturates a wall of velvet and sheer curtains, creating an ever-changing display of tone and color. The clean lines of leather furniture and cocoa-colored drapes lend luxurious sophistication to the public spaces. Custom furniture was designed to fit every room, which are unique in shape and size.
