Alfresco Retro
Guest Suite Patio

To overcome the atypical, curvy shape of the guest suite patio, Lawrence Lake of Interplan Design Group created multiple entertainment spaces for lounging, dining and gathering around the fire pit. A queen-size, iron-framed canopy bed designed by Lake headlines the nightclublike area, and vintage draperies with Frank Lloyd Wright-designed patterns hang from the background of the bed. Cushioned benches, overstuffed chairs and cocktail tables fill out the rest of the space. Near the barbecue, there’s a rectangular dining table with retro orange plastic chairs. Several black and white chairs as well as seats with automotive-inspired colors, like electric blue and cherry red, are arranged by the fire pit. The concept is to create a hip lounge for party guests to relax and play, Lake says. —R.L.
