Brooklyn-based Home Studios has refreshed a trio of hospitality spaces on Nantucket that includes a bright restaurant and a subterranean lounge that immerses guests in an "cinematic" underwater scape.The Pearl restaurant, The Boarding House bar and Below the Rose lounge are all located under one roof at 12 Federal Street,Nantucket–an island off the coast of Massachusetts that is popular with summer vacationers.

The Pearl and its offshoot spaces are beloved Nantucket institutions, so Home Studios identified the goal as continuing the existing story and tradition: to reinterpret it, not rewrite it;polishing and refining its origin story," said the studio, which took two years to complete the project.The aim of the interior design was to create an individual look and feel for each of the three spaces, yet keep a level of visual cohesion across the connected rooms.There's an immersive, cinematic experience across the board.

In the light-filled restaurant, warm white and beige tones are complemented by cooler blues, and glossy tiles that clad the chimney stacks introduce texture and sheen.The white oak tables and chairs have soft,contemporary shapes that contrast the rigid,colonial-era architectural details. Darker earth tones decorate one of the private dining spaces, which includes a lounge area with leather and bouclé seating, and a selection of vintage furniture pieces.

His studio also designed a new dark and moody lounge in the basement, named Below the Rose,where a different take on the oceanic theme was applied.Envisioned as an underwater scape,the deep blue hues across the walls and ceilings feature a mural of aquatic creatures – also by Geronimas Giniotis – to make guests feel like they're submerged below the waves.

Richly grained wood wraps the cased openings and the base of columns, and forms arches across the back bar that frame more mirror artwork by Clifford.Rust-coloured bar stools, dark brass sconces and champagne-toned glass flush mounts all stand out against the darker hues.The lounge is starkly different in atmosphere to the dining spaces above, but together they bring a storied local institution back to life.
