In order to find the soul of a space,
you have to start by listening.
Culinary artistry, expressed through light and material
Lark is one of Seattle’s most beloved restaurants, serving Pacific Northwest-inspired artisan meals with fresh, local ingredients. Working with Robert to re-imagine Lark in a much larger space, Chef John Sundstrom wanted the feeling of intimacy.
“Robert understands the entire process of design, plus the cost. He’s always trying to help the client meet their design vision without breaking the bank.”
-Kelly Ronan, Co-Founder, Lark Restaurant
Our creative challenge
Carry forward the intimacy and warmth of the original, smaller restaurant, while adding artistry and a bit of whimsy to the built environment to reflect John’s culinary style.
Our approach
Create a light installation that flows across the space, while counter-balancing the strong linear framing and exposed wood structures that run the length of the restaurant.
An engaging space made tranquil and timeless with a palette drawn from the PNW hues and materials
The Woodmark Hotel & Still Spa is a peaceful yet adventurous escape that immerses the guest in the natural beauty and authentic flavor of the Pacific Northwest. Located on the shores of Lake Washington, the destination invites guests to disconnect from the distractions of every day and connect to luxury.
“Robert is approachable, collaborative, creative, owns the results, strong technical knowledge, great sense of taking the vision and selecting materials that enhance the design, great background within the industry, fun and friendly”
- Rod Lapasin, General Manager
Our creative challenge
Update the interiors to create a space, outside of the guest room, where the hotel guest would relax and connect with the views of the lake or gathering with other guests and feel like the space is their own.
Our approach
An interior that pulls hues from the views of the lake, onto plush materials that are instantly approachable and inherently perfect in the setting.
A space at the intersection of heritage, nature and community
Our creative challenge
Transform a space blocked from natural light, customer flow and revenue.
Our approach
Blow up the floor plan by punching through exterior walls, relocating and connecting the bar directly to the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest that was right outside all along.
Located at the heart of the Suncadia Resort in Cle Elum, WA, the Stovehouse Restaurant honors the rich history of the region while creating a community gathering spot for both locals and vacationers.
“Robert is attentive to detail while utilizing an amazing collaborative skill-set… Cipollone Creative was a huge asset to the project.”
- Brianne Kelsey, Sr. VP of Development,
Suncadia Resort
