6 The industrial vibe
of a former jail cell
is integrated into a
Mexican-inspired riot of
colorful retro furniture
and graffiti art inside
the Puesto in San Diego,
a 2014 Gold Key Award
winner by Schoos.
love diversity; experiencing things that are out of the norm, that add
color and spice to our sanitized, homogenous culture. There is so much
beauty and imagination and variety in the world-all you have to do is go
out and look for it. Luckily, I get to travel quite a bit, both for business and
pleasure, and I always think of these trips as research and inspiration, not
only for my design projects but for my own personal art as well.
For instance, I have a whole series of paintings I have done based on
the shapes of African currencies I have collected, which are really
unusual because they're not shaped like Western currency; they look like
swords and shields and big metal doughnuts or rustic tools. What I love
about them is that they are so unlike anything we've experienced in the
West. That's the kind of exotic beauty I try to bring to my design projects,
as well. I'm not a purist; I'm not interested in a rigid consistency. What
interests me is contrast and surprise. I love the challenge of getting
people to see and appreciate the world in a new way. And that, by the
way, is the thinking behind our company motto, "World In Mind."
What's your favorite hospitality design project, and Why?
My favorite project is always my latest, because it represents what
inspires me at the moment. But looking back, I think Morimoto Mexico
City is special because I had a free hand to create a work of modern art
in every aspect, from the geometric architecture to the faceted lighting
to the angular furniture to the original artwork, and it all integrates
seamlessly. Plus it fits the modernist setting of the Camino Real hotel
that it's located in.

5 Schoos' design of the guest
rooms at San Francisco's Vertigo
Hotel-which as the Empire hotel
served as a setting in the 1958
movie by Alfred Hitchcock-intermixes baroque and modern
elements, including sheer orange
curtains and the horse-head
bedside lamps.
