From the time guests make their way inside the AKA Beverly Hills in California they can enjoy the ambiance and functionality provided by natural stone. In particular, the lobby space and terrace, which affords stunning views of the Hollywood Hills, employ stone as a signature element.

According to designer Troy Fosler from Koning Eizenberg, the design goal was to match the stone with AKA’s personality. “AKA’s brand identifies with the metropolitan crowd, we wanted the design to be simple but with a touch of sophistication,” he said. “We used a lot of fine texture, and we let the materials stand for what they are.”
