At the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, the Mediterranean Revival architecture and the influence of architect Addison Mizner are reinterpreted in a modern Palm Beach charm. “We sought to bring the Mediterranean theme into the building while still keeping the details and furnishings current and contemporary,” says designer Pamela Anderson of Chicago-based Anderson/Miller.

The lobby features patterns gleaned from some of the Mizner homes—a grid of octagonal shapes in medium scale—and complementary floor patterns. “Completed with Venetian plaster, the vault is a dramatic space for the crystal fixtures, which are reminiscent of a whimsical fireworks finale at Disney,” says Miller.

Inspired by the vaulted porte cochere at the Breakers Palm Beach resort, the design of the lobby is echoed on the elevator doors and recalled subtly in the floor patterns.

The team used a color palette appropriate for the locale, but in a softened tone. “The color scheme is calm with a pop of color,” Miller says.

The firework-like light fixtures in the main lobby reflect through the windows onto the pool outside. “I love the fluid beauty of the vaulted ceiling with the glitter and magic of the crystal light fixtures,” Miller adds.
