The design begins with a story – one that was already here, rooted in place, carried forward through material, and reinterpreted through interior form.   At the center of that story is the “Harmony Tree,” a maple long known to the community and once located on this site. Its presence is carried forward overhead – reclaimed wood slabs from the tree are integrated into the ceiling at reception, creating a direct material connection to what once stood here.   A monolithic front desk of Belgian bluestone establishes a contrasting counterpoint – grounded, weighty, and precise – anchoring the point of arrival with a sense of permanence. Behind it, a custom wallcovering and integrated open shelving form a continuous backdrop. The composition draws from Diana’s Baths, a nearby series of cascading waterfalls in the White Mountains, translating that movement into an abstract, textural field. Shelving is set directly in front of this surface, displaying a curated mix of local objects, vintage finds, and books sourced from nearby shops, including titles specific to the history of Intervale – bringing the narrative of place into direct view.    

Defined as much by how it is composed as how it is experienced, The Viewpoint Rooftop & Eatery is a space where the interior design led – shaping the identity and experience that followed, with each zone calibrated for how people gather, move, and linger.   Set at the top of the Hotel Indigo, the restaurant operates as both a destination and extension of its surrounding context. In colder months, the experience turns inward – grounded in material, light, and proximity. As the seasons shift, it expands outward onto the rooftop terrace, allowing dining and social activity to extend directly into the mountain setting.   Arrival is structural and intentional. A deep, framed portal establishes a clear point of entry, aligning with a central axis that organizes the room beyond. This moment of compression gives way to openness, allowing guests to quickly understand how the space is organized while still discovering it gradually. Vertical black slats and warm walnut millwork introduce depth at this threshold – revealing and partially concealing views to create a controlled sequence of arrival.   The layout is calibrated to support a range of dining experiences. At its center, a dedicated chef’s table for eight anchors the room – positioned between the dark slat feature wall and the full-height curved glazing, and designed to gather guests around a more intimate, chef-led dining experience with a specialized menu. Surrounding it, seating shifts in scale and intent: perimeter tables along the glazing offer quieter moments, while lounge groupings extnd dwell time before and after dining, encouraging guests to linger.

Movement, light, and energy shape the experience at Beachcombers Restaurant and Wet Whistle Poolside Bar - where layered outdoor spaces create a dynamic, all-day coastal destination. From elevated lounge seating to poolside gathering zones, the design unfolds as a sequence of distinct yet connected environments, each responding to the rhythm of the beach and the social nature of the setting.   Materiality draws directly from the character of Myrtle Beach. Wood-look tile flooring, installed in varied directional patterns, introduces movement underfoot, while a distressed black-and-white inset at the upper lounge references the nostalgia of the historic boardwalk - an interplay of pattern and memory that earned the project the 2022 CID Award for Hospitality Tile Design. The palette balances sun-washed neutrals with saturated ocean blues, creating a backdrop that feels both relaxed and vibrant.

Home should feel like an exhale. At Maple Square Apartments, we reimagined multi family living through a hospitality lens creating a community where arrival feels intentional, shared spaces feel curated, and everyday routines unfold within an atmosphere of warmth and quiet refinement.    

Industrial structure meets sculptural expression at Hyatt Place Long Island City. Located within one of New York’s most rapidly evolving neighborhoods, the design interprets the Hyatt Place Series 3 brand standard through a distinctly urban lens - grounded in materiality, art, and dimensional form.   The building’s long, narrow footprint shaped the spatial experience from the moment of arrival. Rather than compressing the lobby, the design embraces its linearity - creating a layered procession that unfolds through light, texture, and focal moments. A double-height volume amplifies verticality, balancing the elongated plan and establishing a strong architectural presence.

Movement defines the experience here, but so does the need to pause. Located in New York City near JFK Airport, the hotel serves a dynamic mix of travelers, including frequent flight crews and international guests. The design responds to this constant rhythm of arrival and departure by creating spaces that feel composed, intuitive, and grounded.

Residential living is reinterpreted through a hospitality lens – where experience determines how spaces unfold, how they are used, and how they are felt over time.   The plan is conceived as a sequence rather than a singular open volume. Movement through the home is intentional – spaces reveal themselves gradually, creating moments of arrival, pause, and transition that mirror the pacing of a hospitality environment.   Material selection reinforces this approach. A continuous wood floor establishes a calm, unified ground plane, while brick, stone, and dark metal introduce contrast and permanence. Lighter wood tones are balanced by deeper cabinetry and stone surfaces, creating depth without disrupting the overall sense of ease.

A hotel should feel like its setting not simply sit within it. For Hotel Bethany Beach, the inspiration began with a familiar coastal ritual: watching the sunrise stretch across the boardwalk as the ocean shifts from deep indigo to pale blue and warm saffron. There’s a softness in that moment a quiet clarity before the beach fills with color and movement.  

Set along Myrtle Beach’s most active oceanfront, the guestrooms are reimagined as a point of calm – filtering the light, color, and movement of the Carolina coast into a controlled interior environment. Designed as quiet retreats within a high-energy destination, the interiors draw from the Atlantic without directly echoing it.   Step inside and the horizon immediately comes into view. Expansive balcony doors frame sweeping ocean vistas and draw natural light deep into the rooms, allowing the changing colors of sky and water to shape the atmosphere throughout the day. The interiors remain intentionally serene and uncluttered, with furnishings and finishes positioned to support clarity rather than compete with the view, creating a sense of openness that mirrors the calm expansiveness of the shoreline.  

Inspired by the timeless elegance of Saratoga Springs and its celebrated equestrian heritage, this AC Hotel by Marriott reimagines the city's rich history through a contemporary hospitality experience. Located in the heart of Saratoga Springs, New York, this AC Hotel by Marriott draws inspiration from the city's rich history, mineral springs, and celebrated equestrian culture. Designed as a contemporary hospitality destination, the hotel blends the refined European aesthetic of the AC brand with a strong connection to place, creating a distinctive guest experience rooted in the character of Saratoga Springs.   A rhythm of horizontal and vertical forms appears throughout the hotel, referencing the railings of the Saratoga Race Course, the surrounding tree-lined streets, and the vernacular architecture found throughout the region. These linear elements are balanced by curved walls, arched openings, and softened furnishings that echo the graceful loop of the racetrack and the historic bridges woven throughout the city.
