ABOUT THIS PROJECT

This hotel concept is envisioned as a catalyst for urban renewal, reconnecting with the character of the surrounding district and filling a long-standing gap in the city’s fabric. The project builds on the area’s tradition of mid-rise structures while introducing a new landmark destination that combines hospitality, culture, and community.

This hotel concept is envisioned as a catalyst for urban renewal, reconnecting with the character of the surrounding district and filling a long-standing gap in the city’s fabric. The project builds on the area’s tradition of mid-rise structures while introducing a new landmark destination that combines hospitality, culture, and community.

The 220-key hotel and multi-use building includes a ground-floor restaurant, coffee shop, and art gallery. A bar and lounge, conference center, gym and spa, and pool activate the street frontage within a five-story podium. Rooftop gathering spaces and a basement speakeasy extend the mix of experiences for both guests and the public.

While the building’s principal function is hospitality, the program is organized to enliven the street as much as to serve hotel guests. Public-facing amenities connect with the neighborhood, creating energy and activity that complement local businesses. Thoughtful planning of valet and drop-off to the west keeps the pedestrian experience along the main street open, safe, and uninterrupted.

The design also respects its historic context while introducing a contemporary identity. A transparent atrium connects the preserved historic structure with new construction, creating a memorable point of entry. The five-story base reflects the rhythm and scale of nearby facades, while the upper levels step back to reduce the impact at street level and culminate in a slender tower that defines the western edge of the block. Together, these moves balance sensitivity to the past with a forward-looking vision for the future of the site.
