Taking inspiration from this narrative, the concept plays off of Benjamin (“Ben”) and Beverly (“Bev”) and the interplay of masculine and feminine elements. We partnered with DLR Group to create an Instagram-worthy sculpture in the lobby that captures “Bev” through reflective gilded curves and a soft, organic form. The installation, built with over 430 elements, exudes the whit and whimsical history for guests to enjoy.
