The Rey3 Design Collaborative Creates Custom Tasting Room, Lounge & Bar for The Bello Family Vineyard

Posted on by


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 01, 2015

The Rey3 Design Collaborative (Rey3 Design), a Los Angeles-based architecture and interior design firm specializing in providing design services and custom furnishings for luxury, residential, hospitality/resort and commercial properties, has designed a multi-room building with original furniture and custom built-ins for The Bello Family Vineyard. Located in Napa Valley at 929 Main St. in St Helena, Calif., the tasting room allows customers to lounge in modern opulence that merges old-world design with a hip, contemporary style.

We wanted to showcase the new wine label by creating a rigorous brand experience through the use of a cohesive design language, said Rey III Viquez, design director for the project and design principal and owner of Rey3 Design. The Bello Family Vineyard has a strong French influence, which we highlighted with a modern French design in sharp contrast to the traditional rustic Napa experience. The final product captures the vineyards exclusive and upscale taste to really set the tone for the brand and create an exciting new experience for Napa visitors.

The new building consists of two lavish private tasting rooms, one with lounge seating and the other with a communal table, a main tasting bar, a retail display, a private office, storage area and restrooms. In addition, the building features front parking, a front patio, a back patio and a covered translucent roof terrace with an outdoor bar and lounge seating.

Rey3 Design created the new space from the ground-up, and was involved at all stages of the project — from concept, schematic design, design development, construction documents, permitting and construction administration. The scope of work included internal space planning; architectural detailing; architectural accessories selection such as exterior lighting, awnings, and outdoor terrace glass; canopy design; and outdoor fireplace design.

The design firm also custom designed all the furniture and accessories such as the upholstered panels, custom chandeliers, custom serving bar, retail display cabinets, plumbing restroom fixtures selection, and lighting selection for the whole project.

In addition to Viquez, Rey3 Design team included Andrew Clark and Louis Polidori, project designers; and Lorrie Shapiro, project manager.

United Nations Foundation Commits to Making the Goals of the London Summit on Family Planning a Reality

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) July 11, 2012

As partners from around the world join together in London to launch an ambitious effort to enable 120 million more women in developing countries access to voluntary, lifesaving family planning, information, and services by 2020, the United Nations Foundation reaffirms its commitment in support of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moons innovative Every Woman Every Child movement. This effort builds upon the Foundations long history of investment and work on adolescent girls and womens health, including the Universal Access Project, to achieve universal access to reproductive health care Millennium Development Goal 5 which leads to healthier women, stronger families, and more stable, prosperous communities.

Reproductive health issues cut across virtually all of our campaigns and initiatives, said Timothy E. Wirth, President of the UN Foundation. The London Summit — a global call to accelerate support for women and girls — builds upon the leadership and work of the United Nations Population Fund and the long-term support of the U.S. government to achieve universal access to reproductive health care and voluntary family planning. We call on all governments to prioritize this critical work moving forward.

We know that more than 220 million women around the world want, but do not have, access to modern contraception. By making a significant dent in this unmet need were not only saving the lives of women and children, but were also putting families on a path to a healthier, more sustainable and prosperous future. Voluntary family planning is one of the smartest investments that we can make said Timothy E. Wirth.

To help make the goals of the London Summit on Family Planning a reality, the UN Foundation is proud to fulfill and accelerate its $ 400 million commitment made together with partners in 2010 in support of Every Woman Every Child to improve womens and childrens health. This includes:

Lucifer Lighting Introduces Family of LED Downlights Up to 3000 Lumens

San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

For high-ceiling applications and spaces requiring greater light levels where definition and quality are paramount, Lucifer Lighting Company — in a major product expansion — has unveiled the Y Series of its acclaimed LEDX downlight family. The new line is being presented at international industry events in Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., and Frankfurt, Germany.

Building on its LEDX product range first introduced in January 2011, Lucifer Lightings new Y Series downlights are engineered for ceilings up to 30 feet tall, using LEDs delivering 1300 (17W), 2000 (35W) and 3000 (53W) lumens. The ability to deliver 3000 lumens (lm) puts these downlights among only a handful of fixtures available anywhere in the world that are capable of offering as much light with an LED, but the Y Series fixture designs are unlike anything else, too. The LEDX can be installed zero-sightline meaning that the fixtures trim is flush with the ceiling. LEDX has garnered early acclaim for its encompassing package of scale, aesthetics and performance a result consistent with the companys new brand message, Design, Define, Disappear.

The new Y Series debuted in June at Light+Building in Germany, and this week will be presented to hospitality designers at HD Expo and to U.S. architects at the AIA 2012 National Convention.

While 4.5-inch aperture downlights with 6-inch overall diameters represent a totally new direction for Lucifer Lighting, says Alexandra Mathews, Vice President of International Sales & Marketing for the company, the minimalist proportion and elegant design of the Y Series coupled with high technical performance, in particular for accent lighting and wall washing are consistent with the look and functionality of our pinhole downlights, for which we are so well known.

While designers and architects need to use high-efficacy lighting sources, says Mathews, they have consistently told Lucifer Lighting they arent happy with the scale, glare level and mediocre performance of products on the market recently. The new Y Series is completely unique in the marketplace, she says, achieving high levels of brightness and beam control with literally no glare, whether the ceiling is 8 feet or 30 feet.

The new fixtures capitalize on Lucifer Lightings blend of technology and design. While our cutting-edge LED modules are essential to the successful performance of the LEDX Y Series product line, its really the aesthetics that will drive interest among architects, lighting designers and end-users, says Mathews. Nothing in the world looks like this its essentially a new visual idiom for high-ceiling downlights.

Commercial, Hospitality and Museum Applications

With their power and wide apertures, the Y Series downlights are suitable for myriad applications, and offer an extension in scale from Lucifer Lightings pinhole Z Series.

The Y Series introduction allows architects and designers to employ the two downlight families in tandem the Z Series for lower ceilings and the Y Series for greater heights so the look of the recessed lighting will be consistent throughout, regardless of ceiling height. This makes the range especially valuable for use in the hospitality industry for hotels and restaurants, in cultural venues such as museums, and in retail settings and high-end residences. Both product lines can be used indoors and outdoors, too.

For double-height spaces such as atriums, ballrooms, lobbies, store interiors and more, the new LEDX Y Series offers occupant-friendly performance, and provides an unobtrusive yet powerful solution without the glare problems and institutional look that detract from typical downlights on the market. This fixture family affords designers the tools and flexibility they expect from Lucifer Lighting, including 45
