Project Overview:
Novel suite-style hotel for group accommodations on a constrained interior city block built around a 110-year-old Live Oak tree. A lush meandering entry sequence provides a welcoming, covered way into the heart of the site. Upon arrival at the building – enter the tropical courtyard space oriented around the oak tree and swimming pool. Interior living spaces are oriented towards this courtyard with circulation happening along the wrap around galleries. Exterior shell is wrapped in lap siding, in keeping with the vernacular of the neighborhood. Manipulated roofline to keep the building within scale of the surrounding buildings from every street.
