The new Le Méridien Pasadena Arcadia Hotel sits near the natural splendor of the San Gabriel mountains. Its design draws the neighboring Santa Ana racecourse and local Art Deco heritage to create a modern, world-class, luxury getaway. The hotel brand places special emphasis on site specificity and art, with prominent placement given to notable artists throughout. The restrooms feature products from The Splash Lab Monolith and Ribbon collections.
The Brief
The hotel needed to outfit four restrooms in two locations: Separate gender spaces off the main lobby and outside the conference facilities:

Both sites see high turnover and the sinks and fixtures needed to be easily cleaned and maintained, as well as upholding the refined style of the surrounding areas. Like the lobby, the restrooms employ a balance between sharp lines and high contrast, and gently rounded edges. In keeping with the hotel’s deco themes, the finishes include bold subway tile in teal and black, brass-edged mirrors, and full-door partitions in stained wood.
The Solution
The Splash Lab and Avanti worked closely together to coordinate a cohesive restroom design. To match the glossy finishes seen in the restrooms, Le Méridien chose The Ribbon System in a Bright Polish finish for a chromed look. The sinks are Monolith Basin System A Series, The Splash Lab trough sinks with a back deck designed for deck-mounted fixtures. The Ribbon is compatible with many commercial sinks, however, maximum flexibility was achieved by specifying a complete solution in TSL products.
The fixtures are mounted in a popular configuration with a single dryer placed between two wash stations at the same sink. The carefully considered height gradient between the fixtures creates a pleasing composition and an intuitive direction of flow in hand-washing. Custom Corian pipe skirts match the sink and conceal the under-basin elements while giving easy access. The distinctive design of The Ribbon System is another instance where the design uses rounded edges to echo the form of the nearby racetrack.
