We learned a lot about ourselves on that project. We've innovated and really transformed a space into something that no one ever thought it could be. Project you are looking forward to? GD: The Rosewood Little Dix Bay [in the British Virgin Islands]. It's such a special place. It was started by Laurance S. Rockefeller over 50 years ago. It was very modern and forward-thinking for its time in terms of preserving the landscape and environment. We're proud to be a part of the evolution of such an iconic property. Biggest challenge of owning your firm? WM: The travel schedule is relentless, but the Vaucluse in New York embraces a French-inspired design silver lining is you always get to see something new and interesting, so it's a source of inspiration. We're always discovering a new, interesting bar or seeing a crazy sculpture or art installation while we're on the road. hospitalitydesign.com July 2017 141http://www.hospitalitydesign.com
