Here is what "Boutique Hotel NY Exchange" will look like

Mini boutique hotel NY Exchange will be located in the 20 Exchange Place, a 57-story Art Deco building in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York. Formerly known as the City Bank-Farmers Trust Building, it was built between 1930–1931. It was ultimately sold in 1979. The building remained untouched since that time, what gives S+S design studio the privilege to work with the historic building in the original Art Deco style. 

Boutique Hotel NY Exchange

The design concept takes aesthetic clues from Art Deco heritage of the venue fused with the contemporary materials and forms. We took the authentic Art Deco patterns and elements and scaled them up into modern forms of furniture and decorations. 

Designers made use of old safes, which remained from the bank facilities, spaces by locating swimming pool, lounge and wine cabinet inside them. The swimming pool is located in a huge two-level safe space. Before the start of the concept development, Designers hired a specialist who analyzed the facilities of the building to find out whether we could make a niche for the swimming pool in the lift slabs of the safe. Luckily, that was a solid safe, what reduced the costs of the swimming pool development.

They kept an emblematic picture showing the friendship with American Indians – it serves as a decoration for the bar. When designing furniture and decoration elements, They were finding inspiration in the authentic Art Deco works – stylized shells from earrings in a decoration of the swimming pool.

Spaces of the venue meet different interests of guests. Spa and wellness centre works as a healthy food café, and in the evening the spaces transforms into a cabaret. The most mysterious part is the passage to speak-easy bar / cabaret through hammam area.
