Design Concept

High end, 40’s swing, and Old Chicago best describe the mood for the Top Hat restaurant and lounge. Gold and crystal chandeliers, crimson textiles, and art deco features will create a very elegant, high end feeling to the restaurant. The lounge will hold a large dance floor and stage for a performing jazz band. The Top Hat will be the perfect location of a trip back into Chicago’s past, while providing great food, drink, and entertainment.

Dining area SELECTION JUSTIFICATION

• Lighting:– L1: Chandelier: I chose this chandelier to be placed through out the dining area above the tables. Not ever table will

have a chandelier so that it doesn’t become too much. I chose this specific chandelier because I felt it worked well with the design concept. It will complement the much larger chandelier that will be placed over the bar area of the lounge.

– L2: 6” Recessed Can Lights: These will be placed throughout the entire restaurant to provide the extra lighting where needed in the areas that don’t have the chandeliers. These can lights are dimmable allowing them to be set to an appropriate level in each area of the restaurant. The trim is done in a gold satin finish which complements the finishes throughout the restaurant.

– L3: Wall sconces: The wall sconces will be placed on the columns throughout the restaurant. They will give off an ambient lighting while complimenting the design.

• Accessories:– A1: Dinnerware: The gold trim on the dinnerware compliments the gold used throughout this design. Also the

geometric pattern on the smaller plates reflects the Art Deco style.– A2: Champagne Satin Napkins: These napkins are very elegant and will give each place setting an added “Wow”

factor. I chose this style of napkin because I felt it complemented the sun motif I am using throughout this design.– A3: Silverware: This is silverware is Art Deco inspired, and I felt that it complemented the dinnerware with the

etching at the end. – A4: Artwork: The Art work was chosen because this is kind of what came to my mind when I first thought of this

design. Men in tuxes and women in slinky black dresses.

Lounge area SELECTION JUSTIFICATION

• Lighting:– L4: Chandelier: I chose this chandelier because it not only said, “high-end and luxurious” to me, but

it also reflected the sun motif that I am using. This large chandelier will make the bar area a definite focal point in the restaurant.

– L2: 6” Recessed Can Lights: These will be placed throughout the entire restaurant to provide the extra lighting where needed in the areas that don’t have the chandeliers. These can lights are dimmable allowing them to be set to an appropriate level in each area of the restaurant. The trim is done in a gold satin finish which complements the finishes throughout the restaurant.

– L3: Wall sconces: The wall sconces will be placed on the columns throughout the restaurant. They will give off an ambient lighting while complimenting the design.

• Accessories:– A2: Champagne Satin Napkins: These napkins are very elegant and will give each place setting an

added “Wow” factor. I chose this style of napkin because I felt it complemented the sun motif I am using throughout this design.

– A5: Stemware: The stemware is also Art Deco inspired. The gold lines also work well with my design.

Restroom SELECTION JUSTIFICATION

• Lighting:– L5: Chandelier: I felt that this Art Deco inspired light fixture worked well with the design of the bathroom. The

chrome and frosted glass complement the vanity and wall sconces. – L6: Wall Sconces: The chrome and frosted glass wall sconces help to unify the design in the bathrooms.

• Accessories:– A6: Paper Towel Dispenser: The paper towel dispensers are automatic. This allows the users to retrieve paper towels

without spreading germs. The built in design keeps the bulkiness down and the stainless steel keeps with the overall design of the bathroom.

– A7: Trash Receptacle: This trash can complements the curves in the vanity and also keeps with the black and chrome that is found throughout the bathroom.

– A8: Mirror: Mirrors are an important aspect in Art Deco design. This mirror utilizes the curved lines found in the rest of the fixtures, but is unique in design.

• Plumbing:– P1: Vanity: The vanity is a very typical design for the Art Deco period. The simple pulls, the curved front, and the

lacquered finish with chrome detail all scream Art Deco. I used this vanity as a jumping off point when designing this space.

– P2: Sink: Even the name of this sink works with my overall design: Tuxedo. The black and white will work well with the design.

– P3: Toilet Stalls: These are pretty common in all public spaces, but I chose to use stalls that are powdered coated black which has that lacquered look to it. The trimming and hardware will have a chrome finish to complement the design.
