and proceed through a long vaulted brick tunnel to reach a gamut
of experiences. These include three open dining areas, a bar made
from lapis blue granite, and a secret garden lined with weathered
brick, arched portal doors, and ceiling joists strewn with vines
and string lights. Downstairs, a serpentine bar is the centerpiece
of a speakeasy-like lounge with eclectic vintage furniture.
The firm installed an overwhelming variety of urban-inspired
elements, like metal grillwork railings, a chain link fence, glass
rondel overhead lights, scissor gate walls, bronze screens, hanging
filament light bulbs, glass garage doors, a chandelier made from
old bottles, terracotta, painted slate porcelain tile, and concrete
floors. Rockwell merged this urban aesthetic with an equally eclectic,
lounge-inspired collection of custom furniture, flooring, lighting,
and fittings, including pink leather sofas, velvet banquettes and
ottomans, reclaimed pine tables, parquet floors, brass dome lights,
glass globe lighting fixtures, and glass decanter pendants.
Art anchors interiors
To fill this vibrant palette, Rockwell tried something new:
partnering with seven of the world's top street artists, led by British
designer Hush. Each focusing on one room, the artists collaborated
with the architects and designers, exchanging ideas and inspiration
as they anchored each space with art, from painting to sculpture
to illumination. In addition to wall paintings, the artists created
installations on top of bookshelves and inside chandeliers,
and blasted through plaster and tagged bricks. "We weren't asking
them for decoration," says Rockwell Group Partner Shawn Sullivan.
"We wanted the spark to come from the artists."
In the secret garden, Shepard Fairey created colorful paste
murals in his trademark graphic aesthetic, while a mural on the brick
walls and portal doors by Eelus suggests angels and foreboding
ravens. For the bar, Will Barras painted a lyrical work depicting
overscale hands walking across the wall. Just across from the bar,
in the dining room, Hush designed deco-inspired wall murals of women
above the banquettes and etched his name in gold leaf over
the room's globe lights. Within another dining room, Vhils chiseled
