Moxy East Village, NYC

Moxy East Village is comprised of a series of floors, each representative of a certain narrative related to the neighborhood’s essence. For example, the lobby best reflects the industrial nature of the area, nevertheless, most of the hotel’s public spaces also pay homage to the music and art scene of New York, especially in reference to the ’70s and ’80s.
Fairmont Royal York, Toronto, Ontario
The Fairmont Royal York (formerly the Royal York) is a historic hotel, which opened in 1929 in downtown Toronto. Their redesign for the lobby and amenities is inspired by a journey from the city’s past through to its present, embracing and highlighting the building’s rich patina while adding a contemporary layer.
Given the hotel’s connection to Toronto’s Union Station, they took material, form, and detail cues from the aesthetics of rail travel. Spaces easily transition from places for work and relaxation, breakfasts and elevated dinners, and celebratory events.
