Maison de la Luz / Miami

Maison de la Luz, Atelier Ace’s anticipated new luxury hotel (opening in New Orleans 2019) previewed a taste of what is to come at the “Untitled, Art” fair on Miami Beach during Art Basel. Los Angeles-based Studio Shamshiri designed the VIP Lounge while curating book and art selections provided by Phaidon and ArtSpace. The lounge’s opening night kicked off with a live performance by members of New Orleans jazz band Preservation Hall, with the following four-day fair allowing attendees to experience the lounge while enjoying cocktails and listening to records.

With a nod from Surface Mag, Architectural Digest, and other design press, the hotel is already being recognized for its traditional yet subversive aesthetic.
