We focus on creating entryways that balance opulence with functional, smart design. ## Photos and videos - ![This is the lift lobby at our Bellevue project.

By strategically placing oversized, seamless mirrors, we doubled the visual scale of the lobby, turning a standard transition space into a luxurious, impactful experience for every guest. Designing a lobby is not just about aesthetics, it is about how the space greets you. In my work, I look for ways to make these transition areas meaningful. For the Bellevue project, the floor was the starting point. Using geometric patterns in contrasting marble allowed us to define the area without needing heavy walls. To manage the scale, we used large, seamless mirrors. This is a simple trick that reflects the floor pattern and creates depth, making the area feel twice as large as it actually is. We also pay attention to functional details even in lobbies. For instance, the powder room vanity in the Bellevue entrance features an oversized, ornate mirror and a rustic stone basin. It shows that even a quick stop in the lobby can feel special if you get the materials right. Whether it is a residential lobby or a busy retail entrance, the goal is to set the tone for what follows. It is the first moment a person forms an opinion about the space, and I believe that moment should count. ## About Shahen Mistry Architects I believe that the entrance is the first chapter of your space's story. Whether it is a luxury home lobby or a high-footfall commercial area, I focus on design elements that leave a mark. My team and I work to ensure every guest feels the impact the moment they step inside.
