The major renovation of the Sheraton New York was a fraction of a much bigger picture, according to Christina Zimmer, vp of New York-based Stonehill & Taylor, whose firm was selected to redesign the property"s ballrooms and Presidential Suite.主要翻新喜来登纽约的一小部分更大的图片显示，克里斯蒂娜齐，副总裁，总部设在纽约的Stonehill与泰勒，他被选为公司重新设计的财产的宴会厅和总统套房。

"It was part of a whole aesthetic push for all Sheratons across the country," she says. “这是一个整体的审美推动所有Sheratons全国各地， ”她说。

The brand"s initiative of tailoring its properties" looks to better suit their respective location meant this flagship hotel was in store for a refreshed metropolitan makeover.该品牌的主动调整其性能，期望能更好地满足各自的位置意味着这个酒店的旗舰店是在一个大城市改造更新。

Zimmer says the design theme was inspired by and meant to convey the look and feel of a turn-of-the-century English equestrian manor house.齐默尔说，设计的主题是启发和意义传达的外观和感觉的转折型的世纪英语马术庄园。

"It"s luxury without being stuffy. A place you can be comfortable." “这是豪华而不闷。某一地点，您可以舒适。 ”

The concept is not limited to the guestrooms and suites; it"s threaded throughout the entire property, including the ballrooms.这个概念不仅限于客房和套房，它的线程在整个财产，包括舞厅。 Sporting nearly 60,000 square feet of meeting and ballroom space, Zimmer says the size of the ballrooms project was a challenge.里斯本竞技近六零零零零平方英尺的会议和宴会空间，齐默说，大小宴会厅项目是一个挑战。

"It"s really enormous," she says. “这真是巨大的， ”她说。 "It"s all about trying to take a large space and still have the guests stay connected to it." “这是所有有关试图采取一个大的空间，而且还有客人住宿连接到它。 ”

Designing on this scale was not easy, so Zimmer says they had to be selective about what areas to concentrate on.设计这种规模是不容易，所以吉玛说，他们必须选择对哪些领域集中。

"We didn"t want to be spread too thin, so we punched up the entrance points." “我们不想过于分散，因此，我们打了入口点。 ”

Entry portals were created using custom millwork and a new door-paneling system, which help set the stage to the atmosphere inside, Zimmer says.进入门户网站设立了使用自定义加工和新的门镶板系统，这将有助于确定阶段内的气氛，齐默说。

Much time and effort was spent on completing the 14,000-square-foot Metropolitan Ballroom, the property"s largest ballroom.大量的时间和精力花费在完成了14000平方英尺大都会舞厅，财产最大的宴会厅。 The ballrooms are heavily used, Zimmer says, and a large, planned event for this space was looming.该舞厅的大量使用，齐默说，和一个大，计划事件，这个空间是迫在眉睫。

"The time allotted for construction was compressed [about 10 weeks]," she says. “所分配的时间压缩建设[ 10周] ， ”她说。

In order to finish by the deadline, Zimmer says in addition to team members picking up the pace, it also helped to preorder the furnishings, fixtures and equipment.为了完成期限，齐默说，除了团队成员加快步伐，这也有助于预定的家具，固定装置和设备。

"There was no such thing as you can"t be finished," she says. “这里没有这样的东西你不能完成， ”她说。

In contrast, the Presidential Suite project provided more wiggle room. Stonehill & Taylor collaborated with BBG-BBGM to transform the large, four-room suite.与此相反，总统套房的项目提供了更多的1943房间。 Stonehill与泰勒合作BBG -变换BBGM到大， 4个房间的套房。 Excited about the task at hand, Zimmer says the space had a lot going for it already, with the exception of one thing.兴奋的任务，另一方面，齐默说，空间有很多会为它已经，除了一件事。

"The ceiling heights are kind of low," she says. “天花板的高度是一种低， ”她说。 "With this kind of high-end suite, you want more volume." “在这样的高端套装，你想要更多的数量。 ”

Every detail was examined and eventually enhanced in an attempt to find a design solution.每一个细节进行了审查，并最终提高试图找到一种设计方案。

"We needed to make more impact with the decorations," she says. “我们需要作出更大的影响与装饰品， ”她说。 "The deep, rich colors "that"s where you are getting your impact." “深刻的，丰富的色彩"这就是你在哪里让您的影响。 ”

Taking an overall look at the project, Zimmer says the Presidential Suite really hits the design-theme nail on the head.纵观项目，齐默说，总统套房真的安打的设计主题钉的头部。
