Gotham Market at The Ashland had
to respect the cultural and historic
neighborhood in which it resides and to
harmonize eight distinct venues in one
coherent space. Though it's a new space,
the design team wanted it to feel like it
had always been there. A mix of exposed
industrial materials and sophisticated
touches impressed the judges. "They
did a good job of using bold state-
ment pieces" like the black steel pipe
chandeliers that feature 180 hand-blown
glass globes. "There are distinguishable
elements to each place, but the space is
still cohesive," the judges said.
