Hotel Le Germain _VICTOR 14

.

The flooring is being installed in the private dining room - it looks amazing - very Escher.  I am pleased with the new proportions of the space - it feels grand and yet also intimate.  A dozen hand blown glass pendant lights will be installed next week, to hang at varying heights in front of the new Shadow Forest wallpaper.

The latest wallpaper design called 'Shadow Forest' has now been fabricated and is on the FedEx truck headed to Hotel Le Germain at this very moment.  The different colourways can be seen here; the design can be adapted to customized wall dimensions.  The red lines on the image above show how the panels have been divided for the walls at VICTOR in the 20 foot high space.  Thank you to ROLLOUT for production.

The walls for the two new bars with their impeccably matched herringbone panels and brass bases are now anchored in place.  One by one the elements are coming together...

Hotel Le Germain _VICTOR 11



The Moncer fumed oak floor is looking gorgeous.  The wood looks rich, with tones of ebony.  I'm tempted to just leave the space like this!

Hotel Le Germain _VICTOR 10

.
 

The new structural steel frame is in for the new 10-foot high folding glass doors that are being fabricated.  I love massive doors - the thin black mullions are going to look beautiful in the space.  The wall of doors will just accordion smoothly along a recessed floor track to allow the new private dining room to open up to the main dining lounge as desired.

Hotel Le Germain _VICTOR 9

.

Construction is underway on site at Hotel Le Germain! Demolition is in progress and the space already feels spacious and grand.  A special private dining room will be created behind a folding glass wall.  The new zinc top and herringbone fronted bars have been fabricated and are awaiting installation.  The custom couches, chairs, dining tables and cocktail tables are ready for deployment in the new configuration.  Custom wallpaper and artwork for a massive light box have been designed.  I love it when a project finally launches into construction - the dust, noise and action promise the realization of a vision after of months of careful preparation.
