The renowned Buffalo Mountain Lodge in Banff tasked us to transform their main reception/dining/gathering area, The Prow, into a cozy and contemporary retreat that would attract a younger audience while honoring its established clientele.
As this area accommodates various types of events, maintaining flexibility within the space planning was essential. Combining custom banquettes, a striking bar featuring stone and steel elements with orange powder-coated shelving, and a warm, inviting area for guests to enjoy quality time by the fireplace with blankets and board games, this revamped 3515 square foot space exudes a relaxed atmosphere with a contemporary twist. Layers of colours, textures, and patterns create a cozy yet modern ambiance, while oversized houndstooth wallcoverings in the washrooms and vintage photos that evoke a sense of mountain luxury add to the unique design aesthetic. With the final addition of Randy, the buffalo head mascot, a luxe Modern Mountain Hangout was born.
