The Pullman depot station was built in 1910 for the bustling city of Pullman. 100 years later, the grand building is going to be restored and renovated into an intimate guest inn and event space. This is my design for the interior. My concept for the design comes from an original radiator and the work of Washington native glass artist, James Nowak. His art creates the illusion of depth and have been applied to the spaces within the depot to make them feel larger, grander.
The space consists of the main Lobby, off of which are the meeting room and event space, which holds parties of up to 50 people. A commercial kitchen is close by as well as two unisex ADA bathrooms. As you continue further into the building the spaces become more private. A formal dining room and lounge are right off a secondary entrance and act as a social place for guests of the inn to socialize. There are three guestrooms, one of which complies with ADA standards. On the end of the building is a studio apartment for the innkeeper and their spouse.
The furnishings and decor of the space are inspired by the timelessness of the original radiator and the glass work of James Nowak. Heavy antiques fill the rooms adding to the timeless feel of the depot.
I am very pleased with my design for the space and I feel that it is very appropriate for the historical significance of the building and it's new endeavor.
