DESCRIPTION
The Russian Tea Room, located in New York City, has been the center for fine dining for numerous years and has become a landmark in the City. The new owner recently completed an extensive renovation to the restaurant and has added an 'entertainment feel' to each floor. H of K was commisioned to create a diorama of Red Square including the famous architectural structure 'St. Basils Cathedral' as a show peice for the fourth floor.
The exhibit runs through a dusk to midnight lighting sequence with soldiers marching through the square, the Czar addressing the troops and the crowds reacting to the Czar's movements. Snow lightly falls on the square as the moon and stars emerge from the backdrop.
