"The impeccably decorated locker room lounge at WSA is filled with marble tables, burl wood accents, and a vintage Grace Jones magazine cover resting on a chocolate-brown rug. The atmosphere is at once familiar and faintly new: The same visual language is reappearing across hotels, private clubs, workplaces, and homes."
"Through her work at WSA and the boutique Grand Cayman hotel Palm Heights, designer and creative director Gabriella Khalil has helped give the building's late-modern glamour a recognizable form. In 2024, The New York Times designated WSA 'the first 'It' building' for its star power."
"WSA interiors draw on late-modern spaces of the 1970s and '80s, gesturing toward the polished restraint of Milanese designers while channeling the theatrical gloss of Hollywood Regency. The reference points are less about revival than resonance."
WSA, a new office building in New York, features a 1970s-inspired design with dark woods, glossy finishes, and moody lighting. This aesthetic, crafted by designer Gabriella Khalil, emphasizes atmosphere over function. WSA has been recognized as a cultural hub, hosting high-profile events and influencing design trends across hotels, clubs, and homes. The interiors reflect a blend of late-modern glamour and Hollywood Regency, creating spaces that prioritize experience and emotional resonance, rather than mere observation.
