Brudnizki pays homage to the brand’s Parisian roots through the hotel’s molding, use of elegant fabrics, and the lavender-centric color scheme seen throughout the hotel.
"We're excited for the imminent opening of Hôtel Barrière Fouquet's New York which has seen our studio work closely with Caspi Development and the Barriere team on introducing their iconic brand to New York,” said Martin Budnizki. “Our design reflects the unique spirit of the Barriere brand whilst feeling relevant and local to the Greenwich neighborhood balancing an elegant Parisian aesthetic with the energy and style of Tribeca."
