At San Vicente West Village, guests receive stickers to cover their phone cameras, ensuring privacy and forbidding photography. The designer Rose Uniacke, known for her atmospheric and muted interiors, has transformed a historic building with rich history into a luxury hospitality project. Her design philosophy blends old and new elements, creating a harmonious space that feels like an idealized home. The venue retains its historic charm while presenting a modern interpretation of its past, including a striking stained-glass window that welcomes visitors.
Photography is strictly forbidden and privacy sacrosanct inside this exclusive club, which in the span of months has outpaced its many peers in terms of intrigue and buzz. Rooms that might have otherwise flooded social media therefore remain shrouded in secrecy-a fate quite befitting their understated author, the London-based AD100 maestro Rose Uniacke.
Mystery is valuable currency in the age of oversharing, and few designers have banked more than Uniacke. The antiques dealer turned decorator has built her name creating pared-back, atmospheric interiors where timeworn pieces, muted tones, and soft lines commune in quiet harmony.
Uniacke's multifaceted approach reveals itself fully at San Vicente West Village, notably the designer's first hospitality project this side of the Atlantic. "Walking into a room by Rose feels like walking into the best version of the home you wish you owned," says owner Jeff Klein.
Inside, she has both honored and elevated it. Visitors enter to face a stained-glass window in a patchwork of reds, oranges, and yellows, catching tantalizing glimpses at the spaces.
