LAN Associates was hired to convert two existing second floor meeting rooms into the new Marriott ‘M Club’ Lounge. The design was based on Marriott’s new concept initiative which required several different seating arrangements to provide a variety of environmental options for occupants. This included banquet and chair seating, casual lounge areas, and taller communal tables. Smaller tables for 2 to 4 people were also integrated throughout, allowing for casual impromptu meetings.
Visitors are greeted by five cylindrical hanging pendants with crystal strings through a set of glass entrance doors. Upon entering, circulation to the buffet and juice and coffee bar leads you through a series of dark wood lacquered portals highlighted by a framed Italian tile mosaic tapestry.
LAN also reconfigured the existing sixteenth floor concierge lounge and meeting rooms into nine new suites and renovated three existing rooms. The finishes and furniture for the rooms were designed to complement the look of the new Marriott concept. The design includes built-in custom closets and headboards, cantilevered desks, television and fireplace wood surrounds, and sliding barn doors. The finishes of the new rooms are similar to the lounge, focusing on a neutral, warm palette with contrasting colors and textures. All rooms and suites were designed to connect to each other and to the entire floor if needed.
