Terracotta palette

Based in New York City, Mariana d'Orey Veiga studio completed a loft located in the prime of Greenwich village, Manhattan, a block away from the water and close to every café and restaurant in the neighborhood the client couldn’t have found a better area.

This originally a two-bedroom apartment with a more traditional feel was completely transformed in a loft with an open layout: the spacious duplex has a flexible office/guest bedroom situation downstairs with a wall bed that converts into a full size bed or an office desk allowing the area to be clear and amplifying the living space.

The client, the passionate about yoga, requested a sanctuary within the chaos of Manhattan, so the studio tried to incorporate some elements into the décor while mixing it up with references that he liked, mid-century modern for instance. The overall feel of the loft is very calm and organic, the color palette chosen is very earthy and so are the materials hence the dining table, custom made by Poliform with Emperor Marble, a choice Mariana fell in love for the project because of all its details, the brown tone with irregular veins throughout. It was perfect!

The floors were stained in a hazelnut shade and run throughout the whole loft, they are complimented by the abundance of natural light that comes in thru the over-sized windows in the 15 foot ceilings space, the sleek staircase leads to the main sleeping room, where he requested an extremely clean space. The art throughout the apartment mostly came with him and reflects his travels and his South American roots.

For the sitting area one of the client's requests was a big sofa: the custom made piece with the L shape is upholstered in a wool cashmere blend and according to him, “ It hugs you when you sit down, it is all I've ever wanted ”.

Building on What's Already There As this year's LIV Hospitality Design Awards winners settle into the wider conversation, certain patterns become difficult to ignore. Properties built for warm-climate escape recur across the list. Sustainability surfaces less as a stated goal than as a working method. And several of the strongest projects are renovations rather than new builds. Read together, the winners point toward where hospitality design is heading as the year continues. Designed for the Season Several of this year's winners speak directly to the season ahead. Kona Village , on Hawaii's Big Island, reimagines an 81-acre resort around the history of Kaupulehu, led by Greg Warner and Mike McCabe of Walker Warner. The rebuilt property includes 150 traditional guest hale, a new spa, and five restaurants and bars—two of which carry over from the original resort. Rather than a wholesale reinvention, the project reads as a continuation: a property rebuilt around what made the original site significant in the first place.
