Eartha – Yarmouth, Maine

The Design Challenge: The goal was to transform their existing lobby into an updated, clean and modern interior that would beautifully showcase the world’s largest rotating globe. The lobby was tired, outdated and underutilized and wasn’t effectively servicing the community. The owners were eager for Bowerbird to create a new and inspiring environment.

Our approach involved selecting modern classic furniture pieces from Herman Miller, which were upholstered in vibrant orange textiles. To complement these, we incorporated organic designed area rugs from Interface and custom-colored rugs in the “Starry Night” design by the talented local rug designer Angela Adams. We also enhanced the seating areas with lush plants from Plantwerks. A sun-filled atrium now offers a welcoming space for the community to sit, relax and enjoy the view from any spot.
For the flooring, we had installed a sleek poured epoxy product with a brass metal inlay grid pattern. Additionally, the old, worn fabric awning has been replaced with a new metal one, locally fabricated by Bradbury Mountain Metal works.
This renovation has truly revitalized the space. Whether visitors come to admire Eartha, visit the Magno Terra Café (a Bowerbird Design), or use the buildings personal trainer, there is now a vibrant and inviting atmosphere to enjoy.
