Design ‘N Gather 2018 at The Nomad Hotel
The Cupola sits atop the second floor rooftop’s northwest corner. It has been painstakingly restored to its original grandeur from the turn of the century. This was an existing architectural feature on the building that had no real use, other than as an architectural embellishment.
Now, as a New York City landmark that is open year-round, The Cupola is used for a variety events. From January through March, you’ll find it hosting 12-person dinners, while from April through December it’s most often booked alongside the seasonal tented rooftop and provides a fun pop-up moment for social or corporate events.
At these times The Cupola is the tarot reader’s den, a pop-up product display location for a launch, or the special place where the wedding cake is displayed during a rooftop wedding. It’s been popular for wedding proposals, cognac after hours parties, and cocktail hours with hors d’oeuvres.
The winning design will complement not only the existing Cupola, but the Interior Rooftop and the Exterior Rooftop (tented and bare) design.
See below for the top 10 finalists for this year’s mosaic design competition and the winner of the installed mosaic, Kavitha Iyer!
