I asked this before but now I have some more information, I am trying
to track down these designers.  They have their own office now. The
name of the designers are Jae Lee and Tim Schollaert.  They are the
founders of MUSE Architects in NY, and also formerly of Jeffrey Beers
International.  Both designers were part of the team that designed
Chicago's Japonais and also the Animal Kingdom Lounge in Orlando.

Dear marcbortz,

Please use this contact information to contact Tim Schollaert and
Seung Jae Lee via their company, MUSE Architects:

MUSE Architects, PLLC
155 West 19th Street, 5th Floor
New York, NY 10011
--
Phone: (212) 255-6841
Fax: (212) 255-8724
E-Mail: everyone@musearch.com
Website: http://www.musearch.com/


I found this by searching the New York Department of State's records
for the MUSE Architects registration. In that record, the original
contact address is exactly the same as the private address of the only
Tim Schollaert living in New York (which I can, for reasons of
privacy, not reveal here). Searching for the full registered company
name on Google let me discover their website.
I also checked ownership of the domain "musearch.com" with the
Allwhois and GoDaddy whois databases. The result confirmed that it is
the correct company, since Seung Jae Lee is the individual who
registered the domain:

MUSE Architects, PLLC.
Seung Jae Lee
155 W 19th St. 5th Fl.
New York, New York 10011

Hope this is what you were looking for!

Side note...

"the team that designed the Animal Kingdom Lounge in Orlando."

Actually, that is the Animal Kingdom LODGE.
