HOSPITALITY DESIGN PROJECT

This project is a real site located in Saint Thomas, US-VI. I completed this project during the fall semester of my Senior year. The Resort was hit by hurricane Irma, and underwent management change as it shifted from a Marriott Resort to a Westin Resort. This shift requires different brand standards for the interior that I had to follow within the design. At the introduction of this project there were multiple problems that I had to address within my design solutions, These problems required problem solving and thinking about user experience within the space to have better informed design decisions.

All Day Bar

Highlighting the indoor/outdoor bar experience, this all day bar appeals to guests of all types. Starting in the morning a breakfast menu will be provided to start your day refreshed and energize guests for their day of relaxation or adventure ahead of them. Transitioning to nighttime the bar turns into a more sophisticated experience for adults to enjoy the 360 views of the breathtaking Caribbean Sea.

Notes:

The overall design of the public spaces is a modern contemporary style that draws hues from colors of the island. The reception area connects life on land and life underwater through the blue tile used and the wood incorporated on the desk itself. Elements of biophilia are also emphasized to further a strong connection with the site.
