Zealot took on the task of creating manufacturing drawings for every aspect of the residential lounge design. This included the center fireplace, ceiling tiles, back bar, and island illuminated details.
Zealot created individual ceiling tile panels. The panels were created by laser cutting holes into the brass plastic panels, then they were laminated onto semi-translucent white acrylic. The lighting above the ceiling tile grid shines through the holes in the panels, giving a "Star Light" Appearance.
We created Acrylic arches to cover the cabinet faces. The arches are an homage to the original architect's building design.
