the STUDIO @ Westmoreland Farm

Based in Lake Forest, Illinois, the STUDIO @ Westmoreland Farm shapes high-end hospitality and lounge environments through dramatic tiered cantilevers over water, luminous backlit stone surfaces, and fluid ceiling planes that transition from smooth plaster into slatted coves. This work provides a strong reference when detailing dynamic soffit-to-louver assemblies, integrating living elements through structural canopies, or resolving multi-level terrace drops above water features.

Curved backlit onyx bar with green leather stools and timber plank ceiling in a restaurant interior by the STUDIO @ Westmoreland Farm.

Westmoreland Farm

An interior precedent for hospitality lounge design featuring an undulating backlit onyx bar counter paired with organic curved ceiling drops and warm timber textures.

What we like about this project
The front bar counter is fully translucent backlit stone, dramatically shifting the ground plane from dark stone to vibrant green glow.

Geometry
Deep, multi-tiered curved ceiling drops and an undulating organic bar counter sweep through the deep-plan hospitality space.
Structural guess
Steel beams supporting a timber roof deck with suspended acoustic or decorative gypsum ceiling drops.
Spatial scale
Intimate hospitality scale with low-slung ceilings and close counter seating arrangements.
Lighting
Backlit green onyx counter glows softly against low ambient downlights and perimeter reflections from the expansive windows.
Atmosphere
Luxurious, moody, and warm with dramatic focal glow from the glowing counter and rich natural materials.
Environmental context
Indoor hospitality lounge looking out through full-height perimeter glazing to dark evening landscape.
Spatial experience
The intimate curved counter wraps patrons inside a glowing amber-green zone, contrasting with the darker perimeter lounge zones.
Composition rhythm
Sweeping curves of the bar front and ceiling soffits create a rhythmic horizontal flow through the interior.
