The project

A building with a point of view.

Margot's shared interiors were approached like a film set: intentional, character-rich, and designed to make everyday routines feel a little more special. A bold color story, vintage details, custom elements, and repeated visual motifs give the building a memorable identity without losing sight of durability and daily use.

The thinking
01

Give the building a lead character, not a moodboard

The color story and vintage details create a specific personality residents feel in the first ten feet of the lobby, instead of a generic upscale-anywhere look.

02

Design for daily use, not just the photo

Every custom element, down to the brass luggage cart, had to hold up under real foot traffic and everyday routines, not just read well in a single shot.

03

Repeat the motifs so scale disappears

The same color story and detailing carries from the lobby through the corridors, so a resident's whole path through the building feels like one considered place.

Three moves that make character last.
