SOM helped this boutique hotel refine its brand of casual American living, finding an architectural vocabulary appropriate for a new class of affluent travelers. The design language needed to express the hotel’s identity yet be flexible enough to be applied to both urban and resort contexts. The result was a design language of open, terraced spaces with natural, minimally-articulated materials.
The New York design is organized vertically, using subtle material changes to smoothly distinguish between the hotel’s private accommodations, its social space, and the surrounding environment. An inviting, residential character is established by the lobby’s travertine floors, limestone walls, and rosewood ceilings, and continues upstairs with the warm tones of the guestrooms. The design’s public face uses planters filled with greenery to complement the revolving glass doors, forming an inviting screen.
In Miami, an existing Art Deco hotel was transformed from a jumble of dark, disconnected rooms to a series of horizontally-ordered spaces. The lobby is progression of interlocking public areas with varied ceiling planes organized along a diagonal axis. In each guestroom, large louvers to the bathroom can be opened to create a single space. The design takes full advantage of views, and light-colored materials are used consistently to strengthen the link between inside and outside.
