Dumbo House
An interior hospitality precedent showcasing how low-ceilinged lounge seating and warm decorative lighting can be paired with floor-to-ceiling glass framing dramatic urban bridge views.
- What we like about this project
- The pale pink glass of the tiered chandeliers softly subverts the otherwise moody, earth-toned palette of the olive velvet seating.
