As a key contributor to the spectacular decorative theming of the Venetian
Sands Casino complex in Macau, Gillespie has earned widespread acclaim for problem solving, professionalism and flawless workmanship in producing vast areas of the highest quality interior GRG decorative finishes.
The Venetian resort, located on the Cotai

Boasting the world’s biggest casino (some 183,000m2 of gambling space - about five times the size of a top Vegas gaming floor), the resort also provides 3,000 hotel suites, 488,000m2 of retail space, a 15,000-seat auditorium, and a 365,000m2 conference centre.

We have perfectly joined sections, miles of flawless cornice, ornate light cove moulding with perfectly timed enrichments, terminating smoothly at every transition, huge chandelier medallions that exceeded artistic expectations, completed in record time and at highly competitive pricing… thank the heavens for Gillespie.

Built on a grand scale, the real impact of the resort lies in the design of its breathtakingly opulent interior. Replicating the beauty of Renaissance Venice with ornate mouldings and lavish decoration, the interior also features a ‘piazza’ in the
Venetian style. Architectural canals, gondolas and singing gondoliers under a painted blue sky all add to the charm of the experience.
Globally recognised as a supplier able to deliver practical, precise craftsmanship on a grand scale and able to work effectively alongside international design teams,
Gillespie were commissioned to deliver the highly complex decorative features and embellishments for six packages in the resort.

    In 1879 a 20-year-old man named Sir Henry Mill Pellatt became locally known for beating the amateur world record for running of the mile. This fueled the ambition and aspiration for success that he seemed to have been born with. Little did he know that in just over 20 years he would own the largest private home in North America. By the time he was thirty Sir Henry owned 21 companies. His newfound money and love of art that came from visits to Europe brought the idea of Casa Loma, a Gothic/Medieval style mansion that overlooks Toronto. It took 3 years to build and yet was only lived in for 10 years. However, it is now one of the most visited tourist destinations in Toronto and the perfect setting for weddings and events as well as movie and TV productions. After looking at the it’s history, character and physical features, Casa Loma’s “sense of place” can be easily defined as romantic, beautiful and a little bit tragic.…

    Although Nevada is known as one of the hotter desert states, the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas is shown through every bright light in the city. More importantly, the valuable history of Las Vegas lies behind the gigantic signs that have labeled casinos, hotels, etc. since the early 1940s. These signs have been demolished and created over decades based on the evolution of Las Vegas. In 1996, the Neon Museum was established in order to bring more attention to the signs. “…the Neon Museum is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting iconic Las Vegas signs for educational, historic, arts and cultural enrichment.” In this contextual analysis, I will reaffirm the importance of the Neon Museum’s…

    This morning I got my tea and drove down to Moody Nolan, yet again. As I went up the elevator, I was greeted by Lisa Merket, an interior designer, telling me that I had the opportunity to shadow her. While I was in interior design department, I learned about distinct fabrics and materials. I walked to the fabric library, a collection of supplies, and helped a woman named Eva pick out a design for her countertop. We both agreed to do a matte granite, considering the fact her kitchen is contemporary. Lisa then taught me how to use photoshop. The dublin Marriott hotel asked Moody Nolan to decorate the exterior and interior of the building. With that, Lisa gave me a blank outline and I got to change the outdated textures and furniture.

    The MGM Grand Hotel was a 23 story hotel and casino facility located at the intersection of East Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard, currently in use as Bally's Casino. The hotel consisted of 21 stories of guest rooms situated above two non-hotel stories- a double main level and casino and an interstitial space used for gaming floor security. The floors were numbered with an alternative numbering system used by the MGM Grand owners, depicted in Fig.1. Immediately adjacent to the casino and performance areas on the first floor to the east were a series of restaurants, clustered in the central portion of the building.…

    Isle Royale

    • 1483 Words

    To listen to the music of the wilderness, is to listen to the howl of the wolf. Man may never fully understand the composer, nor his passion behind each note, but the aura of mystery that surrounds him will forever fill our dreams with wonder and adventure. For centuries, wolves have carried their melodies on a small island in northern Lake Superior, known as Isle Royale. Completely cut off from the mainland, Isle Royale is extremely isolated, with only a handful of human structures and trails. The wolves who reside on the island are not alone, however, accompanied by a native of the cervidae family, the moose (Peterson). Together, these two species, combined with the remote nature of Isle Royale, produce one of the most incredible ecological relationships in the world. Their lives deeply intertwined, the moose and wolves share a unique predator-prey relationship. The moose consume the raw flora of the island, and the wolves feed on the moose without competition from other predators. The distribution of both species is limited to the islands shores, which creates a highly controlled setting. Such an incredible scenario has drawn the attention of biologists and ecologists from around the world. Beginning in 1958 and continuing to present day, the Isle Royale Research Project has intensively researched, documented, and monitored the interaction between the wolf and moose free of human presence (Peterson). The island is the perfect location for a study. In essence the island itself acts as a controlled laboratory, and the researchers can observe the interaction between the species away from human impact.…

    [So Florida's sun screen may have been shallow ("picture-book pastiche") but it was still deeply layered, forged, in fact, by a new breed of empire builders who saw themselves as well-traveled, world-worn, and ready for re-invention.] Lane, C. (2010, Summer)] While some of the structures are definitely Mediterranean Revival, a few have this “Moorish” look to them. Anyone could question whether or not throughout time if the “Moorish” style homes were disregarded as a stepping stone within the Western and European Countries. Motive appears to neglect this style of building as a defined architectural position. Different countries seem to use this style of construction, but convert it roughly into the countries own stylishness. Athos Menaboni designed the Palace of Florence Apartments, but obviously had the talent to use the two architectural designs together to help construct it. He seamlessly entwined the Italian and Middle Eastern styles, but the fact is that it looks like a building you would see in a Middle Eastern society. When looking at the fourth floor tower, it has stairs that wrap around the outside of the structure. It’s looks as if to disrupt the roman mold of architecture the way it’s designed. Even though it is a brilliant architectural building and has historic richness, it appears to take credit for its design as a new idea.…

    The difference between two street art what I took from Macau street. The first one, you can see it has three different themes: men with a strange smile, love is everything and an elephant is wondering about if bananas it favorite or not? However, I want to stress on the men with the strange smile. Because it just use the same patterns and have different size and angles to cram the wall. The patterns are very abstract, actually I can't really recognize what is it. But it gave me a feeling like there are many bald men smile viciously. Oddly, if I walked forward to the wall, then I only can see the figure with no meaning. Therefore, I think you need to use your imagination to create a story for this art. The most incredible thing is this art only…

    The myth of the mysterious, advanced Lost City of Atlantis has led people to questioning the reality of it for centuries. Many do not know whether to believe or to just laugh at the thought of the phenomenon. The Greek philosopher, Plato, left people not knowing what to believe. Some people are for it, while others are against the idea of the lost city. Many people cannot seem to prove whether it was real or fake. Although they are still unsure, the advanced, mysterious descriptions and view of the city are used in Plato’s belief and writings.…
