1. How Rapt Studio Transformed An Art Deco Tower Into A Modern Office

Given its history and focus on innovation, Greylock Partners found a fitting location for its new San Francisco headquarters: 140 New Montgomery Street, originally built in 1925 by architecture firms A.A. Cantin and Miller and Pflueger for the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company. The 26-story art deco tower was the city’s tallest when it opened and seen as a symbol of growth and technology. Greylock leased the top floor and hired Rapt Studio to transform it into a modern-day office that honors the site’s historic art deco interior design. See the space.

2. Rockwell Group Updates A Historic Hotel In Boca Raton

Addison Mizner would be proud. One of the last projects of the early 20th–century American architect, who is perhaps best known for the Mediterranean revival mansions he built throughout Palm Beach, Florida, for his wealthy clientele, was the 1926 Ritz-Carlton Cloister Inn in Boca Raton. Over the decades, the waterfront resort and private club had been added onto in piecemeal fashion. Now, it is simply dubbed the Boca Raton, and, in anticipation of its centennial anniversary, commissioned hospitality authority Rockwell Group to renovate, expand, and cohere the property in the firm’s signature luxury and consideration of site.

3. Time Travel In This Brooklyn Bar With Art Deco Interior Design Accents

What happens when architects design their own bar? Attention to detail, for one. Palmer Thompson-Moss, who founded Salle with his wife Isobel Herbold, helmed the design and recent refresh of King Tai, a cocktail bar in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. With the addition of a second floor lounge that opens to a street-facing terrace, the updated interiors feature a restored art deco bar, which serves as a focal point for the locale, which Thompson-Moss opened with business partner Dane Risch in 2015. Take a look inside.

4. See Miami’s South Beach Lifeguard Towers In A New Light

It was 1995 when William Lane Architect was commissioned to design five lifeguard towers to replace the ones in South Beach that had been destroyed by Hurricane Andrew. The colorful, art deco–influenced structures were popular, yet it was another 20 years before the city came back to the Miami Beach–based firm to create six prototypes to replace most of the lifeguard towers serving the 8 1/2 mile stretch of Atlantic Ocean coastline. It was 2019 when photographer Tommy Kwak traveled from his home in Montclair, New Jersey, to Miami Beach and first saw the pink tower on 17th Street—the aha moment that sparked his project to catalog all 38 towers and turn them into a book. Explore these striking designs.

5. Art Deco Interior Design Accents Enliven This Aspen Home

There’s no mistaking the Aspen, Colorado, home of art collector Paige West and tech executive Christopher Cooper—especially when the garage door is open. Inside, the paneled walls and ski lockers are painted stop-sign red, while carpeting and benches are a complementary crimson shade. Not to mention vintage Art Deco furnishings like the tubular steel rocking chairs above in the interiors masterminded by designer Ghislaine Viñas. Explore the home design.

6. Art Deco Interior Design Meets Modernist Influences At This Hotel

Since 1935, the Neues Schloss Privat Hotel Zurich has charmed guests with its rational-yet-rounded façade, an expert blend of Art Deco and Modernism. Today, thanks to a rethink by the city’s Carbone Interior Design, the interiors live up to the building’s motto: “A place that brings together what usually doesn’t combine.” A member of the Marriott Autograph Collection, the 57-key hotel mixes a jewel-tone palette of velvety textures with walls in natural plaster.

7. Art Deco And Art Commissions Inspire A Grand Rapids Downtown Office

When a client approached Chicago’s Eastlake Studio to redesign its 160,000 square foot, seven-floor interdisciplinary office building, the firm embarked on a two-year collaboration with AMDG Architects resulting in a rethink of everything from the floor plan to the graphic exterior. The space features a custom pattern fir wood feature walls—a forward-thinking reference to the area’s art deco interior design history. Read more about this office design.

8. Hindley & Co. Update An Elegant Art Deco Gem In Melbourne

A house in the leafy Melbourne suburb of Balwyn had it all: graceful arches dating back to its construction in the 1930s, art deco terrazzo, four bedrooms and three bathrooms carved out from two floors and almost 3000 square feet. Its owners, a family of three engaged in finance and fashion, were relocating from Hong Kong to make the house their home. But first, they engaged the architecture design firm Hindley & Co. to renovate the residence, updating but not erasing its ample character. Read more about the home.

9. Fettle and BLVD Hospitality Update Historic Georgian Hotel

New in town? First-time visitors may inquire of the ocean-front turquoise gem just steps from Santa Monica’s acclaimed pier, but it’s hardly a fresh addition. The Georgian Hotel, female-founded by Rosamond Borde who commissioned its architect M. Eugene Durfee, opened its doors in 1933 as a hub of art deco interior design. Years passed, as did sales, a remodel in the 1950s, and dimming of the hotel’s star. Until Jon Blanchard and Nicolo Rusconi of BLVD Hospitality, developers of Los Angels’s Ace and Hoxton hotels, and designer Tom Parker of Los Angeles-based Fettle stepped in, reviving its original luster. Take a look inside.
