RiverBoat Casino, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Brintons enjoys a strong relationship with this particular South American casino operator and its appointed interior design company (Provedo Quintiero Arquitectos), having provided Axminster carpet for eight of its other casinos. Brintons was therefore the first-choice flooring partner when the RiverBoat Casino operator and its interior design company needed new Axminster carpet for its RiverBoat in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Client Brief
The casino is housed in two traditional steamer riverboats that are joined together by a cylindrical access lobby. This cylinder is a communal space that contains stairs to enable guests to access different floors within the two boats. The interior design company was appointed to refurbish the interior of this access lobby and Brintons was asked to design and manufacture suitable Axminster carpet that would be in keeping with the rest of the RiverBoat Casino.
Creative design approach
The operator of the RiverBoat Casino has a policy of installing carpet that is bright, vibrant and features unique and dramatic patterns at its venues. With this in mind, the Brintons design team immediately set about developing a range of designs and colour palettes that were in keeping with this theme, to ensure consistency for the operator.
The solution that was delivered
The final carpet designs were very glamorous and sophisticated. The designs were heavily influenced by bold swirl patterns to create a feeling of movement and large bands of yellow and red colouring were incorporated to reflect different areas of the lobby area. The final designs were also heavily accented with black backgrounds to give the designs greater visual impact and to also maintain areas of separation.
Services provided by Brintons
Brintons provided its full compliment of design, planning, estimating and installation services to the RiverBoat Casino operator and its appointed interior design company.
Brintons Reaction
Brintons’ lead designer on the project, said: “Having worked with the casino operator and its interior design company on other projects before, we had a good idea of what they were looking for in a carpet that would be installed in the lobby area. I think the designs we developed and delivered are really fun and vibrant and this project is an illustration of how we can turn our hand to any job in any environment and make a really stunning impact that surpasses the clients’ expectations.”
Client Reaction
The RiverBoat Casino operator believes it’s very important that its guests always feel comfortable and that they don’t know whether they are stood on the land or on the boats themselves. The environment and feeling on the land and on the boats has to be the same so the development of appropriate carpet is central to achieving that objective. Brintons worked hard to translate all of the ideas we had for the carpet in the lobby area into designs that we were looking for and extremely pleased with when installed.
