MAkOTO RESTAURANT, BAL HARBOUR, FL CLIENT – STARR RESTAURANT GROUP INTERIOR DESIGN – GILLES et BOISSIER Balancing a clean, modern aesthetic with the classic atmosphere at the Bal Harbour Shops, Makoto is the latest offering from Stephen Starr in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area with modern interpretations of classic Japanese flavors by Chef Makoto Okuwa. One of the key elements of the restaurant’s design was providing a luminous ambiance while maintaining the dramatic interplay of light and texture. A large wall mural stretching the entire length of the restaurant is softly framed with LED lighting from a ceiling cove above and warm xenon grazing lighting from below to create an illuminated gradient behind the banquettes. Superimposed on the mural wall is a carefully orchestrated series of streaked light creating a dramatic pattern that crisscrosses over the mural surface. Multi-head accents were used throughout the restaurant to highlight tabletops, wall planes, and textural elements. Custom pendants were designed using MR16 lamp holders to allow the communal tables below to be dramatically highlighted. Behind the sushi bar, a luminous translucent amber glass screen provides an eye-catching backdrop for the chefs while recessed accent lights capture their swiftly working movements and their artful creations for dining patrons. The resulting dining experience at Makoto is as striking as it is elegant and sleek.
HYATT REGENCY, ATLANTA CLIENT – THE HYATT GROUP The Hyatt Regency Atlanta is the prototypical open-air atrium hotel that has single-handedly influenced generations of hotel designs since it first opened in 1967. Designed by John C. Portman Jr., the hotel and its sapphire blue Polaris Dome have became instantly recognizable icons of the Atlanta city skyline. Renovating such a prominent city landmark, Reveal Design Group worked side by side with the Hyatt team to define several aspects of the dome including the specification of the new glass panels that comprise it. A lightly etched interlayer film within the new panes captured the light evenly across the glass while providing enough transparency for the dome to appear as a sparkling crystal. The dome also houses mechanical equipment, and onsite mockups were performed to ascertain the best locations and aiming of the fixtures to avoid casting shadows from the equipment and to avoid light source hot spots and unwanted reflections in the dome. EcoSense HP INT linear LED fixtures were mounted directly behind the horizontal muntins and aimed toward the top of the dome. The muntins also shielded the fixtures from view, allowing the dome to appear as an internally radiant jewel shining over the city.
