This event space will dive into that ancient world charm and center organic materials ethically sourced from sustainable companies, small businesses, and vintage finds.

While I envision marble being used throughout the space, I also recognize the expense of the material along with the need for parts of the event space to be flexible as the months continue. This is why all heavy materials would be used on stationary regions like the bar, walls, some tables, and smaller decor pieces. I would focus on dark woods for those areas as well. I love a good rug but I also know that they can be hard to maneuver and take time to clean properly. Which is why I would follow the same guidelines as with the marble except in these circumstances, I would have rugs in low traffic areas. Most reserved for smaller spaces that only staff, special guests, and administrators would be able to fully access. This would still allow for rugs to accentuate the vibes of the space while being properly maintained but limit the amount of wear on them.

For lighting, I would have intentional overhead lighting that doesn't feel too invasive. Meaning no harsh lighting with an emphasis on floor lighting with accent/task lighting as well. I have been in spaces where the no overhead lighting rule was taken way too far and as a result I couldn't see the space properly. I would like to avoid this as much as possible because it is counterintuitive towards our mission of community, connection, play, and imaginative storytelling. Plus really dark lighting makes it hard for people to take fun pictures and I would like for people to be able to capture the memories they are making within the room. Lastly, as this event space is intricate and has a lot of moving parts, I imagine it would take some time for the entire event space to be built out. Which is why I would establish a team of creatives, architects, and companies to come together to build out the space. Originally, I planned for this space to be temporary and only last a year, though depending on funding and partnerships I could imagine this space being a creative force within the city. A design company I had in mind to assist with bringing the space to life would be Studiolotus. Their mission statement of following a deep contextual approach to their project by combining tactile, sensory, and experiential nature to storytelling is in direct alignment with my goal of the space.
