Reflection - 10-14-05

Ted Groeger of Ricca Newmark Design

Helpful hints when designing for hospitality

- quick sketches that are able to convey the feeling of the space
- use pattern and color and don't be afraid to try new materials
- make sure that kitchen area designs aren't just about efficiency (design must also be incorporated to create a pleasant atmosphere)
- alter the seating: provide tall talbles, low tables, booths, counters, etc.
- play with ceiling details and other details to draw attention to
- good lighting is key and can make for an interesting space
