This is my sketch to help the interior design consultants Pierre-Yves Rochon understand the allowable mass and size of the main casino chandelier over gaming tables. They were just about to start the custom chandelier design and the high-definition cameras needed to be allowed for.
This main hotel reception area is very complicated and has many layers of intricate classic French interior design details. I managed this with the primary interior designers Pierre-Yves Rochon who were based in Paris and Chicago.
