Downtown Houston’s sleek new residential addition, Marlowe, looks sleek from the outside, but its the 4,300 sq. ft. lobby, bar and lounge, and the 6,500 sq. ft. of corridors designed by @contourinteriors Nina Magon that really shine. To search for inspiration for the massive undertaking, Magon turned westward—all the way to Tinseltown. Guests are greeted with images of some the mid-20th century’s most famous leading men, including Paul Newman and Marlon Brando, captured in digital prints on a custom rotating metal frame. A mirrored ceiling offers a chance to compare one's own visage against those of the greats, while a nearby bar with a ribboned ceiling is the perfect place to drink it all in. In the lounge area, a double-sided steam fireplace and black glass dividers carve out three seating spaces filled with Magon’s custom furniture in regency-style grays and creams enriched with touches of emerald and marble⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
