SHOWROOM
CONNECTING LOCALLY
The new Snaidero showroom displays a
relatable modern-but-traditional style
MOST OF THE CLIENTS SERVED by Alexandria, Va.-based Studio Snaidero
D.C. Metro live in traditional environments like red-brick colonials, Federal-style row homes and formal Neoclassical architecture. The goal of the
showroom design was to relate to the variety of tastes and the traditional
preferences of all these locals.
"It's one of the things I love about this area,"said designer Shawna Dillon,
principal of Studio Snaidero D.C. Metro. "The designs show what people
respond to in their fantasies of luxurious European interiors, and it also
displays that dichotomy between old and new."
ABOVE Instead of just placing
displays where they would
make sense internally, the
design team also had to be
conscious of how ithey would
read externally. The sidewalk
surrounding the showroom became a secondary showroom
space because of the windows.
Four pioneering finishing techniques are prominently on display, including a superior quality
high-gloss lacquer, luxe mica
lacquer, textured melamine,
and striking wood veneer.

INVITING THE NEIGHBORS IN
To emphasize the city's appreciation for historic preservation and its more transitional palette, Dillon used warm woods and metals to keep the displays inviting and comfortable.White, wide-plank oak flooring sets off the four kitchens
in the showroom and relates to what the majority of clients want at home.
"The materials provide a warmth you would expect from a more traditional
interior, while allowing the contemporary design to offer an elegant and
refined aesthetic," said Dillon.
Her clients value the engineering and simplicity behind European cabinetry, and using warmer design elements alongside the modern cabinets
maintains the comfort of traditional design while guiding clients toward more
up-to-date styles. Other warm elements include a cantilevered, reclaimed
wood top; glass wall cabinets with bronze mesh; and a La Cornue range.
"I am always surprised to hear that people feel they cannot embrace a
more contemporary aesthetic because their house has wood floors or ornate
moldings, when I feel that contrast is the true beauty of contemporary living,"
said Dillon. "We incorporated 'traditional' design elements, such as a rolling
ladder and chandeliers, but with a more modern twist to encourage people
to see these elements in a new way."
