THE CHANCELLOR'S HOUSE HOTEL |
OXFORD, MISS.
cipal, Wilson Associates. "That's a dated view of the South and it just needs to go," he says. So,
when he was approached by Chancellor's House founder David Porter to help him realize his
vision for a new Southern boutique brand (the first hotel is due to open in 2016), Crosby knew
he'd have to tread a very fine line between nostalgia and a current, effortless vibe.
It helped that Porter was open to a look that was more transitional than traditional.
"He likes warmer colors, but uses traditional white trims and moulding to introduce a
Southern look, along with some detailing," says Crosby.
So, Crosby turned to the architectural shell to provide the intricacy and detailing of
an Old South mansion. A stone fireplace and barrel vaulted ceiling set the stage for a
warm, residential ambiance. Elaborate chandeliers finish off the look without clouding
guests' sight lines in the 31-key property.
Looking to Oxford-based Ole Miss for inspiration provided Crosby with another set
of tools to move away from the pale tones and delicate detailing that defines the traditional Southern mansion aesthetic.. The school's red and blue colors serve as punchy
accents. A gallery of images of the city and university makes a series of visual signposts
for guests in the corridors.
As these projects make clear, respecting tradition doesn't preclude embracing the
best of what's new and what's next. Designers don't see the South as a monolith. "The
design combined many old and new elements to create its own eclectic mix that feels
like the city. We avoided anything that felt too current or trendy," says Kalashian. Think
timeless, not old-timey.
