Daphne is a contemporary and eclectic reimagining of the American bistro. Set across a series of distinctive rooms. Guests are greeted by an intimate arrival space, that gives a preview to the experience. Guests step into the voluminous Great Room, an immediate exemplification of the sophisticated grandeur that permeates Daphne. Innovative and surprising, the entirety of the kitchen is on display — from the finishing touches on plates to the prep kitchen — evoking the abundant spirit of hospitality and the feel of being hosted in an elevated and welcoming home. The Drawing Room, the enveloping, colour-blocked space is softened and lightened by playful design touches and greenery. Details await discovery here, from commissioned pencil drawings on the red ochre-hued walls that appear as photographs from a distance, to a botanical-inspired hanging pendant, reminiscent of forms in early Karl Blossfeldt photography. The entirety of the furniture and lighting is custom designed, further establishing it as a space truly without parallel. At the heart of Daphne is the cinematic duality of Kubrick-inspired experimentation and the soft aesthetic of a Nancy Meyers film.
