In the old town of Riga, Latvia, the new Redstone Hotel has recently opened its doors. Designed by ANNVIL Interior Architecture, the boutique hotel has taken on a very interesting design choice in which each of the top four floors containing the 11 guest rooms are all designed in a monochromatic color scheme. The hotel’s restaurant, the St. Petrus, serves modern Latvian cuisine and is located on the first two floors. After that, there are no textures and no shapes.

The style of iconic actress, socialite, and interior decorator Elsie de Wolfe is captured in the new, aptly named Elsie Rooftop in New York. The $7 million design of the lounge and terrace echoes de Wolfe’s own penchant for late-18th-century French design and her own private villa in Versailles.
Delphine Mauroit of DMDesign & Architecture crafted the airy lounge 25 floors above Times Square in homage to the Roaring Twenties. Guests depart the elevator and are greeted by a mirrored hallway that reflects ceiling lights as it leads to the main room, which boasts high ceilings, antique mirrors, and a perimeter of gold walls. Versailles parquet flooring, a blue marble bartop, and an outdoor flower garden accent the space.

Blue Sky Hospitality’s creative director Henry Chebaane might have been born in Paris, but the multi-disciplinary designer found that it was London that really struck a chord with him. It’s that adopted hometown that provides the inspiration for The Megaro Hotel’s new look. The first three rooms and the redo of the Minimix bar were profiled in the Boutique Design May 2018 issue. Here, Chebaane digs deeper into his design process and unveils the next phase in the renovation, a collection of rooms along the theme of Front Row to Backstage.

Chain Store Age
A small store in London is attracting a lot of attention for its unusual design.
Sustainable luxury accessories brand Bottletop broke new ground with the opening of its first permanent store, on Regent Street in London. The space, which has been called “the world’s first zero-waste” store, boasts a futuristic, immersive environment that reflects Bottetop’s commitment to sustainability, collaboration, and technical innovation. (Bottletop products are made from the pull tabs of discarded soda cans, recycled metals, and zero-deforestation leather.)

Mexico's Grand Velas Los Cabos might offer dreamy views of the Sea of Cortez, which no greater authority than Jacques Cousteau himself called “the world’s aquarium.” Guests might also gaze in wonder at two new restaurants in the hotel designed by Ezequiel Farca + Cristina Grappin.
The almost 4,000-square-foot Frida is a tribute to Mexico’s most famous painter. Wooden screens trail across the ceiling and angle down to create shelving and room dividers with contents that reflect in the polished marble floors. Lighting is mostly accented in brass, as are railings for the monumental bar of bookmatched marble.

Traditional noren curtains, silk cushions set on tatami mats, softly hued earthen walls. Were it not for the placard emblazoned with the famous wavy-haired siren, you’d be hard-pressed to guess you’re in a Starbucks. But this faithfully restored, century-old townhouse on a historic Japanese street is the Starbucks Coffee Kyoto Ninei-zaka Yasaka Chayaten, part of a company-wide drive toward what it calls “locally relevant design.” Starbucks Coffee Japan designer Taichi Yamamoto says, “We weave in area design elements so that people can rediscover a community’s history, crafts, culture, and industry.”

Inc.
It's true that "business is business and business must grow," but not in the way that most people might think. The widely (and falsely) held assumption is that feelings have no space in the workplace, that profits cannot grow amid a culture of compassion.
The raw facts show us, without a doubt, that mindful and compassionate cultures are more productive cultures. When people feel a sense of purpose, they will work hard to achieve a goal that they are proud of.

 An inclusive leader takes their best practice and inclusion mindset with them wherever they work. While we most often hear about inclusion, diversity, and culture in corporations, good leadership is also found in higher education, health care, and other industries. Terri Givens, provost of Menlo College in California, spoke about how she came to be seen as an inclusive leader.
