Ste Marie

Vancouver-based interior practice Ste Marie designs atmospheric cocktail lounges and hospitality spaces defined by mirrored spatial expansion, repeating circular lighting motifs, and rich dialogues between slatted timber paneling and graphic floor textiles. This portfolio provides a strong reference when aligning continuous linear light strips with mirrors to visually dissolve spatial boundaries in low-lit bar environments, or when coordinating constellation-style ceiling fixtures with tailored low-table arrangements.

Lobby interior with green marble walls, patterned carpet, and custom seating designed by Ste Marie.

The Bell

An interior lobby precedent by Ste Marie showcasing rich textural contrasts between green marble, patterned rugs, and warm brass details.

What we like about this project
The dramatic shift from polished speckled stone flooring to a highly geometric green-and-white patterned carpet.

Geometry
Long, low-ceilinged horizontal volume anchored by a central seating lounge and a reception desk set back against a marble-clad feature wall.
Structural guess
Steel frame with non-loadbearing partition walls and stone cladding.
Spatial scale
Expansive single-story floor plate with a low, finished ceiling giving an intimate, club-like horizontal proportion.
Lighting
Warm ambient illumination from integrated ceiling coves, vertical brass sconces, and task lamps casting soft glows on horizontal surfaces.
Atmosphere
Sophisticated, warm, and club-like atmosphere created by dark tones and layered lighting.
Environmental context
Interior commercial lobby with large stone walls and soft lighting typical of a high-end hospitality or corporate environment.
Spatial experience
The deep reception lounge offers a sequence of intimate seating clusters over patterned flooring, balanced by an expansive polished stone floor on the left.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal zoning set up by the continuous carpet pattern, marble wall joints, and alignment of vertical brass light fixtures.
