Let's crank
some metal.
Dialogue 38, Toronto
THE SCRIPT Transform downtown Kitchener's landmark hotel into an airy,
welcoming space fit for Canada's Silicon Valley (home to offices for Yahoo and
Google).
THE SHOOT Keep the bones of the historic 1893-vintage, 92-key hotel's two
floors of lobby and lounge spaces. Retain the details, such as decorative crown
moldings, wainscoting and trim work, that really make an impact on the visuals.
Ditch dark or fussy color palettes in favor of crisp white and creative artwork.
THE DIRECTOR'S CUT Instead of taking either a minimalist or a maximalist approach, the team chose to find a middle ground of curation, not
compromise. Think of a "best-of " melding of 19th-century architecture and
21st-century styling. Vibrant art pops against the walls. Black seating is unapologetically modern. The foundation of the design makes for a literal grounding.
"The mosaic tile flooring in the lobby is a custom pattern inspired by the map
of Kitchener's own urban grid. The second floor features a rejuvenated bar and
lounge area-traditional aspects are once again referenced here, but the solid
wood flooring is installed in an angular pattern, defining smaller zones within
the lounge," says Dialogue 38 founder Bennett Lo.
THE TRAILER Not every innovative, cost-effective design has to be "busy." The
effect here is relatively serene, but still with a playful edge. Tech savvy travelers
can plug-or unplug-into its ethos. -Oriana Lerner
