The Observatory

On the top level, Garden State’s Observatory is sophisticated, sensual and sexy. The name gives a hint as to what it offers you.

Clearly, this premiere space oozes modern elegance and charm and it will make you feel as though you are on top of the world.

The natural light, exposed brick, fluted timber and glass come together to construct an open, classy space that transforms throughout the day and night. Equally,  featured on the moody, burgundy walls and up high on the ceilings are decorative, intricate décor pieces that are made up of lined patterns. This repetitious use of line and pattern in different formations creates a captivating sense of space as the geometric patterns creatively fill and frame the entirety of The Observatory’s setting.
