About Ridge Room 餐廳、天台酒廊

The Ridge Room係一間位於酒店頂層嘅餐廳同天台酒廊。室內設計靈感源自當地嘅狩獵小屋同滑雪木屋。用餐區設有黃銅餐檯配搭質樸橡木座椅,以及寬闊嘅玻璃窗。開合式玻璃牆系統將酒廊直接連接到露台,可以飽覽藍嶺山脈嘅景色。訂製壁爐、鹿角吊燈同手繪壁畫為酒廊增添溫暖氣氛。背光彩虹縞瑪瑙石板同鋅面吧檯突顯出酒吧嘅特色。加設嘅隔音設施保護樓下嘅客房免受噪音影響。

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The Ridge Room entrance is located on top floor of the Hyatt Place, but has a private entrance called the Trophy Room. The dining area features brass tables with rustic oak seating, open glass windows, that look onto the expansive patio with mountain views. The Lounge area features low seating in front of a custom fireplace and mural. Two red-bottomed high tables provide additional seating beneath custom antler chandeliers. The far wall of the lounge area has the built-in display cabinets of our vintage lantern collection.
Dimensions & Packaging: Rainbow onyx back-lit slabs are featured behind the bar, providing a warm light that bathes the bar area. On the bar top, a zinc custom countertop was fabricated by LaBastille out of Charleston, SC.

Production Technology: The bar is located on the fifth floor of a hotel, above and next to guest rooms, so additional soundproofing was installed inside the walls as well as in-between the floors. The lounge features a NanaWall, an opening glass wall system that opens the entire space directly onto the patio. The Davinci fireplace was specially made to remove the majority of the heat, to the point that the glass never gets hot. This is achieved by a powered vent on the roof and it allows the fireplace to run all day without affecting the comfort of the guests.
Design Challenge: Since this project was going to introduce many new features to the area, certain elements of the Ridge Room had to be cleared by the city. Since the city didn't have any existing regulation regarding fire features or rooftop decks, the designer was required to make presentations to city officials that took safety as the primary consideration to ease their concerns.
Research: The preparation for this design project began with visits to all Hyatt Places throughout Virginia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania to learn about the brand. The hotel owner did not want to go fully prototypical, a conceptual presentation was approved by Hyatt Place to make a semi-custom space on the top floor of the hotel for The Ridge Room.
Inspiration: The owner challenged the designer to develop a lounge concept that would reflect the local environment. The interior is influenced by local hunting cabins and ski chalets. The goal was to create a warm and charming space for the Hyatt Place hotel guests, while still making a space that represented the local culture.
Project Duration: The project began in 2019 and was completed in December 2021.
Operation Flow: The Ridge Room offers intimate spaces and a rooftop view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
