and materials such as leather, canvas, and wood flooring add an
organic sensibility, and a welcoming sense of familiarity.
This palette translates to public spaces, into the second-floor
Bar Moxy and its adjacent lounges and co-working spaces, also
designed by Yabu Pushelberg. The team painted the low ceilings,
wiring, and ductwork white and employed a palette of light wood,
while a copper bar adds warmth. Hailed as the hotel's social heart
by Hochberg, the bar transforms into a vibrant lounge with a live DJ,
drawing crowds in the evenings.
Immersive social spaces
Similarly, Moxy's other two restaurants, designed by Rockwell Group
in collaboration with TAO Group, which operates the hotel's F&B spaces,
were created as destinations. Legasea Seafood Brasserie lures patrons
to its second-floor space thanks to vivid street-front signage and
a grand staircase. The space boasts custom details such as a ropeand-cork ceiling system that absorbs sound-and ties into the menu's
nautical theme-patterned concrete floor tiles, and stitched leather
shades on the bar's light fixtures.
Adept at working with the challenges of a historic building,
Rockwell Group dealt with the ceiling constraints by creating the
illusion of height. "In the center of the dining room, we had a skylight
as part of a historic shaft," says Shawn Sullivan, a partner and studio
leader at Rockwell Group. "We enlarged the perception of that skylight
by wrapping mirrored panels from the vertical surface of the skylight
to the horizontal surfaces of the ceiling. From anywhere in that area,
you see reflection of daylight."
Equally engaging is the amusement park-themed rooftop bar,
Magic Hour, with a discreet entry through iron gates that lead to the
elevator lobby-which features black-and-white flooring and funhouse
mirrors-and up to the roof with its various rooms, terraces, and three
bars. "Perched 18 floors above the city, Magic Hour embodies an urban
amusement park concept, but with a decidedly grown-up, wink-wink
sensibility," Hochberg says.
A departure from the hotel's other spaces, Magic Hour features
whimsical design elements including animal-inspired sconces; giant,
custom-designed, animal-shaped topiaries; lounge furniture that
rotates on a turntable like a carousel; a miniature golf course designed
by TAO Group called ForePlay; and a retractable roof of custom arched
fabric panels by Rockwell Group as a nod to circus tents.
And upon leaving Magic Hour at the wee hours of the morning,
patrons can stop at Egghead-a Rockwell-designed, grab-and-go
storefront restaurant serving breakfast sandwiches-the perfect
ending to this one-of-a kind, fantastical escape in the city. c
