Hotel SO/ Paris vs. S.C. Johnson Wax Building

The hotel lobby looks like it could use a bit more height, but lovely little design. Those lily pads are fun and would make Frank Lloyd Wright happy for a stay.

Desk from the SC Johnson Wax Administration Building, Racine, WI

Frank Lloyd Wright made this strikingly streamlined desk and chair for the S. C. Johnson & Son Administration Building in Racine, Wisconsin. Their curved shapes and Cherokee red color echo those of the building. With enameled steel frames, a cantilevered work surface, swinging rather than sliding drawers, and hinged, removable wastebaskets, the desk and chair are remarkable examples of Wright’s innovative design sensibility. Unfortunately for the workers using it, this original three-legged form of the chair, subsequently redesigned to include four legs, was notorious for tipping over.

When you hire Frank Lloyd Wright to design your office building, even the parking garage is remarkable.

Built in the late 1930s, the Johnson Wax Headquarters in Wisconsin is celebrated as one of the top 25 buildings of the 20th century. The fascinating complex and its signature "lily pad" support structures are still in use – and still stunning – today. Vintage photo by Ezra Stoller.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Johnson Wax Headquarters.

The Johnson Wax Headquarters – also known as the Johnson Wax Administration Building – was completed between 1936 and 1939 in Racine, Wisconsin. It provided the main office for SC Johnson & Son, an American manufacturer of household cleaning supplies.

Despite its location on an industrial park, Wright designed the building in his organic architecture style with references to natural forms. This is exemplified in the main open-plan office space, which is often described as forest-like.

Johnson Wax Headquarters, Frank Lloyd Wright, 1936-1940, Wisconsin USA.

I used to rag on this building for being 10 years late and 10x over budget, but after seeing that first photo literally who cares. The walls and slabs and columns last and matter. Almost nothing else does. Mr. Johnson did us all a service by footing the bill for transcendence.

The great workroom was an early example of an open office type, executed brilliantly. The slender lily pad columns in the workroom are only 23cm diameter at their base, and generated some controversy at the time. The building administration deemed them too slender to support the required 12 ton mass above, and required a test column be built and loaded. It supported that mass, and Wright demanded it be loaded with 5x more material. It supported 60 tons before failing, and Wright was given his permit.

Typical for Wright buildings, this thing leaks. The glass tubing that was used for the clerestory and some roofs of course let water in, and later had to be replaced with plexiglass sheets. This kind of thing isn't acceptable for such an expensive and advanced building - building construction matters. Those leaks probably shortened the life of the bricks and every other component of the building by 50%.

At the end of the day, this is an absolutely chadded American clanger, I think more need to follow.

Dear Whole Foods- We’re through. It’s not me. It’s you.

You know how it is, Whole. You know. And I know you know. We just can’t pretend it is what it was any longer.

Bad things have been happening between us whenever I’ve tried to get into your sack for quite some time. It’s time to face the fact that we just don’t have that old natural spark between us any longer. We’ve faded from organic to conventional. It’s time to move on to fresh fruits and vegetables new — elsewhere. Ditto your firm, moist, and alluring meats of many flavors. None of what you’re doing to me is doing it for me anymore.

I ignored a lot of your irritating habits, Whole — like keeping that entire wing of the dairy case jammed with your revoltingly raw vegan pastes and six flavors of tofu, that sloppy second of soy. I rationalized you were just trying to keep your green ass from getting so fat you couldn’t get into that tacky green apron you insist on wearing all the time, because “they go with my Earth shoes”.

I put up with your petulant insistence on “helping me” find things I wasn’t looking for whenever I paused in an aisle to ask myself “Johnson Grass and Brayla Suet Sausage? What the hell is that and what life form eats it?”

I put up with your plucking money from my wallet while I slept, so you could blow it on wind power and floats in the Green Pride Parades. I figured that every Whole needs a hobby.

Yes, I just looked the other way, Whole. I figured I could always just skulk around the deli counter cadging slices of salami and smidgens of cheese off your perky crew until they grew tired or I was full. But the feeling of being used by you — especially with the Euro cheeses which went up and up regardless of how heavily the Dollar was sitting on the face of the Euro — kept on pinching me in the pocket.

Even then I accepted your “Give More Green to Be More Green” smarm. Why?

Was it because your moist and juicy fruit always looked so tender, sweet, and tasty?

Was it because you always reminded me, in your organic, vegan, tofu-sodden shelves, of those unshaven but passionate hippie girls of my youth? The ones with the faint Frida Kahlo mustaches like the fuzz I once licked from your peaches.

Was it because I thought I was demonstrating my successful status by shopping at a grocery store whose motto might as well have been, “Whole Foods: Why Pay Less?”

Was it the frisson that compulsive gamblers feel as I watched a single paper bag of your goodies climb relentlessly over the last few years from $50 to $75 to over $100 with no sign that I was at least going to get a French kiss as a reward?

I even put up with your ceaseless whining about the friggin’ environment, being green and all, and your constant nudging about bringing my own bag to carry away your noodle soup, and your waxed cardboard containers for the salad bar that would always leak dressing onto my leather seats.

I suppose it was all of these things about you, building up slowly… and yet… and yet…

Whenever I’d leave you, after depositing a C-note or two in the register by the door, I’d think, “No more. No more. We can’t go on meeting like this.” But in a couple of weeks, my yearning for you would rise like the yearning I often have for a Korean massage. And I’d be back, slipping into your embrace, and always…. after scraping the detritus of my plate into the garbage a few hours later… I’d feel used. Even after a shower.

But today was it. That’s enough. We’re over. Finito. Kaput.

What was it? Like the end of all sordid love affairs, Whole, it was a little thing that did it.

There I was, after buying a slab of your succulent meat at a mere $28.99 a pound, adrift in your kitchen supplies aisle. I remembered that I needed aluminum foil. I scanned your bursting shelves and then I saw it… the “If You Care” Aluminum Foil. It was made, it breathlessly told me, of “100% recycled aluminum.”

The “If You Care” was a 50 foot roll of the silver stuff. It was priced at $4.50. Next to it sat your good old new aluminum foil. Yours was a 75 foot roll of the stuff I’ve faithfully used and recycled all these years. It was priced at $2.25.

It dawned on me then, Whole, that as it was with so many other things about you I was screwed no matter which I chose. Somehow, if I “cared” enough to spend $2.25 more for 25 feet less “If You Care” foil I’d just recycle that caring foil again so that it could come back for more caring at a higher price.

I could take it, Whole, when it was just you and me and a little extra expense for a small tickling moment of splendor in the wheat grass. But now you were sharing your shelves with the high-price whores of recycling and I knew that if I stayed with you a moment longer, I would turn green with bankruptcy.

That’s why I abandoned you and your succulent meat in your shopping cart on Aisle 5. That’s why I left that chunk of Neal’s Yard Cheshire at $32.99 moldering in your private collection.

Whole, I’ve given you some of the best, and certainly expensive, grocery purchases of my life. But we’re done now. Like all tawdry retail sluts tarted up with those French plum tarts near the cash registers, you’ve finally stepped over my food love line of death.

I’ve left, a shattered man, with whatever shreds of dignity and solvency remain. Don’t write. Don’t call. And especially don’t offer to take me back to that Devon Clotted Cream in Aisle 2 that we once smeared over our shortbreads together in that wild, hot Summer of 2006. We’re quits. Deal with it.

Hungrily yours, Gerard

P.S. If by any chance you want to dump that Neals Yard Cheshire cheese at fire sale prices when Washington refuses to bail you out… twitter me.

[ad_1] In a state the place natives measure time in generations quite than years, Craig Reid’s crisp British accent stands proud amongst honeyed Southern drawls.  The CEO of Auberge Resorts & Collections has been in Texas for nearly three many years — a relative blip, however lengthy sufficient to get to outline what luxurious hospitality appears to be like like within the Lone Star State. For the time being, there are solely two Texas resorts with five-star designations, based on the Forbes Journey Information’s 2024 version: the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas and the Put up Oak Lodge in Uptown Houston. New York Metropolis has 10.  Though the Forbes Journey Information is an imperfect measure, the rating holds reality: Texas is behind on luxurious choices.  Solely 3.3 % of Dallas’ lodge provide is within the luxurious section, based on knowledge from CoStar. Throughout the highest 25 U.S. markets, the typical is nearly 11 %.  Reid is on a mission to alter that. Since 2020, he has opened two boutique resorts in Texas, Commodore Perry in Austin and Bowie Home in Fort Price. A 3rd, the Knox, is below building in Dallas’ stylish Knox-Henderson neighborhood. Texas Hill Nation will probably be residence to a fourth, and a fifth is slated for River Oaks in Houston.  All this as rates of interest have pumped the brakes on new building and gross sales of resorts, at the least in most locations. Excessive-growth Texas markets proceed to carry out effectively. In 2023, income per obtainable room elevated by 10 % in Dallas and eight % in Fort Price/Arlington, based on a latest CoStar report. Reid might not have the Texas bona fides of a rodeo star, however he “understands luxurious,” stated Jo Ellard, the Nationwide Slicing Horse Affiliation Corridor of Fame rider who partnered with him on Fort Price’s Auberge lodge, Bowie Home. He minimize his enamel in hospitality by cooking and tending bar for London-based hotelier Savoy Group. Reid labored his means up from assistant lounge supervisor on the 4 Seasons Lodge Washington, D.C. to the corporate’s president of lodge operations for the Americas over 28 years.   Reid is the form of hotelier who can wax poetic in regards to the origins of the trendy lodge because the place the place stagecoaches stopped for relaxation. He’s the form of hotelier who requested Ellard’s group the baffling however illuminating query, “How do you propose to serve a visitor a bowl of soup on the bar?” It’s clear he understands luxurious and hospitality. However does he perceive Texas? Translating Texas style Reid discovered one in all his first classes in Texas refinement from its chief practitioner, Woman Chook Johnson.  After Reid catered a gala for the opening of the Nationwide Wildflower Middle, the previous first woman invited him and his spouse to dinner at her residence. When the Reids arrived, Johnson already had meals on the desk. She advised the couple to not be bashful and “load up as a result of we need to sit and go to,” he recalled.   “Right here’s the spouse of a former president, an enormous landowner, most likely rich in her personal proper, and it’s all about family-style eating,” he stated.  In Texas, it’s not unusual to see the sq. toe of an Ariat boot peeking out from below starched denim in a enterprise informal setting. The town’s elite drive pickup vans.   Offering genuine luxurious hospitality in Texas requires an understanding of “the understated means Texans rejoice success,” Reid stated.   “How would you serve somebody soup on the bar?”Craig Reid He took his first stab on the idea with Commodore Perry, a restored Gatsby-era mansion inbuilt 1928 by “Commodore” Edgar Perry and his spouse, Lutie.   The lodge opened in Austin in June 2020. Archer Lodge, Fairmont Austin and Austin Correct opened between 2016 and 2019, however the metropolis hadn’t seen a “true luxurious product” because the 4 Seasons opened its Austin location in 1986, Reid stated. Forbes gave these 5 resorts four-star rankings; Austin doesn't have a five-star-hotel.

He wished to create a venue that was directly luxurious and approachable, a spot that might host multimillion-dollar dealmaking or a postal employee’s retirement celebration (which has really occurred there).  It labored.  Ellard visited the lodge when choosing an organization to handle the longer term Bowie Home in Fort Price’s Cultural District. The go to sealed the deal for Auberge.  Building for ‘wealthy experiences’ Bowie Home’s design hangs on just a few rules.  First, guests ought to know they’re in Texas. Second, the decor couldn’t be stuffy or treasured.  “I wished massive guys to return in and really feel actually snug within the furnishings they’re sitting on and never really feel like they’re going to tear one thing up as a result of it’s too dainty,” Ellard stated.  The foyer has overstuffed pillows, worn-in leather-based chairs and complex rugs. (“I really like texture,” Ellard stated. “I can’t purchase short-haired canine. It’s gotta have some fluff.”) Tasteful cow print and longhorn skulls say — not scream — “Texas.” Putting the stability between elegant and welcoming wasn’t straightforward.  The group debated having tablecloths within the eating rooms (too old-school?) and stools on the bar (too dive bar?), Reid stated, carrying a button-up and quarter zip.  “We’re not constructing locations for the wealthy. We’re constructing locations for wealthy experiences,” he defined. Rooms run $600 an evening, however a vodka martini on the bar is just $15.  Reid is aware of he can’t copy and paste Bowie Home into Dallas, the Hill Nation and Houston; he'll interpret “true luxurious” for every market. The Knox, in Dallas, will probably be a part of a mixed-use mission that features luxurious workplace, multifamily, retail, eating places and a park linked to the close by Katy Path. The lodge will replicate the town: elegant bordering on opulent, with a saloon. Reid stated he desires the lodge to really feel like “the membership upstairs.”  The Hill Nation lodge will “really feel like a ranch expertise.” Auberge in Texas  Simply six weeks after opening its doorways, Bowie Home’s translation of Texas refinement was put to the check through the metropolis’s favourite annual occasion: the Inventory Present and Rodeo.  The lodge was almost bought out each weekend in January. The bar and restaurant had been packed from 5 p.m. to closing.  Reid is on a decent timeline for Auberge’s upcoming Texas resorts. The Knox and the Birdsall, in Houston, are anticipated to open in 2026. The corporate hasn’t but introduced a gap date for the Hill Nation lodge. Auberge acquired an unspecified infusion of money from its companion in growing the Knox, BDT & MSD Companions. The minority funding will assist Auberge develop its portfolio within the Americas, Europe and past. Reid additionally has Ellard’s stamp of approval. She made positive Reid and the group got here away understanding the soul of Fort Price. “I preached to him fairly strongly for 2 years,” she stated. “Now they get it.” [ad_2] Supply hyperlink
