The London and Singapore-based design consultants were appointed by The Pierre’s operators, Taj Hotels Resorts & Palaces, to create concepts for the deluxe guestrooms and nine grand suites.
 
The hotel is infused with subtle references to the heritage of The Pierre’s Indian custodian: soft colour palettes, inspired by the jewels of the Maharajas, are complemented by soft furnishings of rich silks and brocades, whilst traditional patterns are abstracted into decorative motifs, reinforcing the theme in a delicate, understated manner. The high ceilings of these residential-style interiors, and an abundance of natural light, emphasise The Pierre’s renowned comfort and opulence.
 
David Edwards, JPA’s Project Director, comments: “Our design has utilised fine furniture, rare veneers and inlays, opulent fabrics, and hand-woven carpets. We have combined these with original architectural detail to evoke this remarkable building’s past, whilst also offering guests everything they could wish for from a state-of-the-art luxury hotel.”
 
JPA’s work, which took 24 months from appointment to completion, was undertaken as part of a $100 million renovation of the neo-Georgian landmark that overlooks Central Park.
