The Russian Lounge, the newest reception space dedicated to a foreign entity, opened in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in May 2014. The room, designed by Russian architect Sergey Skuratov, reflects a contemporary Russian design and style: a highly polished 21st century industrialism that stems from the Constructivist aesthetic and an affinity for sleek modernity.
The reception space boasts a unique wall finish that defines the room and exemplifies the architect’s contemporary aesthetic. The custom panels, designed by EverGreene Architectural Arts in collaboration with Sergey Skuratov, were created specifically for the Russian Lounge to complement the paintings installed in the space and provide acoustical balance to the reception area. In all, more than 100 panels, each measuring 12’ x 3’, were installed expediently, using a clip system, in the 2,500 sf space.
To achieve the desired finish, EverGreene created a one-of-a-kind process combining their knowledge of materials, comprehension of chemical properties and a refined aesthetic. The specially formulated, integral-color plaster was applied in a scagliola-like technique combining chemical additives which react with the moisture inherent in the plaster, resulting in a naturalistic, highly-textured, porous finish. Additional mineral additives were added, giving the plaster a hint of sparkle and sheen. The combination of rough & raw plaster together with shiny & reflective additives resulted in a luxurious-industrial look. The aerated nature of the panels contributes to the acoustic quality of the space. Once installed, the panels were hand burnished to elicit a polished finish.
