Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts - History Corridor

Location: Toronto, Ontario

Designer/Architect: Ed Hackley Design

Duration: Mar 2006 - Jun 2007

Scope: Soheil Mosun Limited was contracted to build a history wall display illustrating the "Values & Beliefs" of the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, as well as a world map showing current and planned locations of hotels and resorts. Also included are (3) large glass, wood and steel cases that present and display photos and artifacts that fill the history corridor between the lobby and the atrium in the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts headquarters in Toronto, Canada.

Highlights: The world map shows incredible attention to detail in its finely inlaid veneer work of Tabu Birds Eye Maple in Pomelle Makore wood. The glass wall and columns are sandblasted and etched with tremendous precision. The glass panels of the history wall are mounted with stainless steel rods and custom machined fittings. The Glass Cases are filled with artifacts and feature a timeline and mission statement in etched graphics.
