Interior Plaster

Adam Tihany and his team at Tihany Design, N.Y. designed the renovation of portions of the Broadmoor West Hotel which included the new restaurant. The Ristorante Del Lago, which replaced the aging Charles Court, was styled after a popular resort location in the Lake Como region of Italy. For the Venetian plaster treatment we used a two plaster, three color, five coat technique that was specifically developed to exude "a rustic elegance; not too rustic, not too elegant” as directed by the design team. We developed several small samples  using a "fresh on fresh" technique and translated the process onto larger walls and required strict attention to timing, the thickness of each coat, and just the right amount of polishing with the trowel. Adam Tihany and his team were thrilled with the results.
