Experience Meilleur from clear to amber
in collaboration with Spacebar Design
The design draws inspiration from the rich spectrum of alcohol hues, ranging from clear spirits to deep ambers, translating these tones into an experiential journey through materiality, light, and texture. The entrance sets the tone with a sleek, intimate composition of stainless steel cladding, reflective glass bricks, and textured glass bricks that allow natural light to peek through, creating an understated yet striking threshold.
As visitors step through, the space unfolds into a large, open workspace where cool, smooth materials—glass, steel, and polished surfaces—gradually transition into warmer tones, establishing a subtle narrative of movement and discovery.
A warm-toned carpet path subtly guides circulation toward the director’s room, encouraging a natural flow through the interior.
Central to the design is the singular carpentry of the pantry and breakout area, which combines a warm wood base with clear, reflective highlights—mirror doors, stainless steel countertops, and both textured and reflective glass bricks—evoking the clarity and sophistication of spirits.
The mirrored doors reflect the exterior view from full-height windows, visually enlarging the workspace and creating a seamless connection when opened to the director’s room.
The director’s room introduces full warmth into the palette, where amber tones, bronze-tinted mirrors, warm wood accents, and sleek bronze shelving envelop the space. Here, the warm carpet path from the workspace spills in, reinforcing the sense of arrival. Reflective surfaces maintain the smooth, polished aesthetic inspired by spirits, while the richer tones create a welcoming, sophisticated environment. Lighting, selected furniture, artwork, and material transitions together orchestrate a cohesive experience that subtly guides the eye, the body, and the mood throughout the office.
