Mount Mee

The client was not happy with how the design of the original sunken lounge room of their weekend residence did not properly accommodate their furniture nor work for the dual-use of the area. The lounge consisted of two separate zones – one for watching television and one for sitting in front of the massive fireplace in a conversation pit. Mark Gacesa of Ultraspace overcame this problem by turning the entire space into a sunken lounge suite by following the original step detail which included a piano shape curve.

The lounge space opened up and created a much larger multi-use seating configuration with no wasted space. Two entry points to the lounge were incorporated – which were part of the original steps. There are two beautiful imported velvet and bronze swivel tub chairs that help make the area a dual-space because they can be a part of one area or the other with a simple 180 degree spin.

The built-in sofa arms have been design to be extra wide for a dramatic effect and used as side tables. The arms flow around the tan suede upholstery to become the back of the sofa to create a solid enclosure or framing for the upholstery.

 

 

By day, the Corian® Solid Surface sofa frame compliments the existing materials in the lounge space– but at night – the entire lounge suite illuminates to create a magical and soothing glow in the room. Not only is Corian® Solid Surface backlit, but underlighting has also been installed to the fronts of the upholstered seating – and the entire piece can dim in unison to create a soft glow to compliment the fire.
