DOUBLETREE PLEASANT PRAIRIE, WI
TRANSFORMED FROM DARK AND DATED TO BRIGHT AND MODERN, THIS 120 ROOM, FULL-SERVICE HOTEL WAS CONVERTED FROM A RADISSON TO A DOUBLETREE BY HILTON. THE PROJECT SCOPE INCLUDED A COMPLETE PUBLIC SPACE AND GUESTROOM RENOVATION IN ORDER TO MEET THE BRAND REQUIREMENTS AND AESTHETIC. DUE TO ITS PROXIMITY TO LOCAL BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY, AS WELL AS BEING LOCATED NEAR MILWAUKEE, CHICAGO, AND LAKE MICHIGAN, THE PROPERTY SERVES BOTH THE BUSINESS AND LEISURE TRAVELER. WITH THIS IN MIND, IT WAS KEY TO CREATE SPACES THAT WOULD COMFORTABLY ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE FROM BUSINESS EXECUTIVES AND FAMILIES, TO LOCALS HOSTING WEDDINGS AND EVENTS. SURROUNDED BY THE BACKDROP OF THE BEAUTIFUL MIDWEST REGION, THE INTERIOR INCORPORATES ELEMENTS OF NATURE THROUGH THE COLOR PALETTE, MATERIAL SELECTIONS, AND ARTWORK & ACCESSORIES.

LA QUINTA VISTA BRAND DEVELOPMENT: CUSTOM DESIGN SCHEME
THE VISTA DESIGN SCHEME IS INSPIRED BY THE BOLD COLORS OF THE SUNSET AND THE EARTH’S TOPOGRAPHY THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE ORGANIC PATTERNS CREATED WHERE LAND MEETS THE WATER. NATURAL MATERIALS PROVIDE A SENSE OF WARMTH AND TRANQUILITY WHILE THE ACCENT COLORS EMPHASIZE THE VIBRANT ELEMENTS, CREATING BALANCE. EACH COLOR, FINISH, AND FURNITURE PIECE WERE CAREFULLY CURATED TO TELL A COHESIVE STORY AND PROVIDE THE ULTIMATE GUEST EXPERIENCE .
THE VISTA DESIGN SCHEME WAS CREATED AS A BRAND APPROVED SCHEME FOR THE LA QUINTA BY WYNDHAM FRANCHISE PROGRAM, TO BE USED FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION, AND CONVERSION PROPERTIES. THROUGH A VERY STRENUOUS DESIGN AND SUBMITTAL PROCESS, VISTA HAS BEEN APPROVED AS ONE OF THREE STANDARD DESIGN SCHEMES FOR LA QUINTA.

LA QUINTA COLLEGE STATION, TX
FEATURING THE VISTA DESIGN SCHEME WITH A MODIFIED COLOR PALETTE, THIS 91 ROOM, NEW CONSTRUCTION LA QUINTA BY WYNDHAM IS LOCATED NEAR THE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY CAMPUS. KEEPING LOCAL PATRONS, STUDENTS, FACULTY, ALUMNI, AND DIEHARD AGGIE FANS IN MIND, AND AS TO NOT CONFUSE IT WITH A RIVAL STATE UNIVERSITY, THE SIGNATURE ORANGE ELEMENTS WERE REMOVED FROM THE DESIGN SCHEME. INSTEAD, BRIGHT TEALS BECAME THE PRIMARY ACCENT, OFFERING A UNIQUE LOOK WHILE STILL MAINTAINING THE INTEGRITY AND OVERALL DESIGN AESTHETIC OF THE VISTA SCHEME. THIS PROPERTY'S CUSTOM COLORS AND DETAILS, ALONG WITH LOCAL AND REGIONAL ARTWORK, PROVIDE THE GUEST A DISTINCT DESIGN EXPERIENCE.

URBAN LUXURY CUSTOM GUESTROOM DESIGN CONCEPT
AS A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, THE URBAN LUXURY DESIGN CONCEPT WAS CREATED TO ENGAGE LUXURY & BOUTIQUE CUSTOMERS AND HOTELIERS. FROM THE RICH COLORS TO THE LUX FINISHES, EVERY ELEMENT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO INCLUDE THOUGHTFUL AND CREATIVE TOUCHES, ENRICHING THE GUEST EXPERIENCE. THE COMBINATION OF CURRENT TRENDS IN PRODUCTS, MATERIALS, AND FINISHES WITH A MIX OF MODERN AND CLASSIC DESIGN ELEMENTS ALLOWS THIS SOPHISTICATED DESIGN TO EASILY BE ADAPTED FOR USE IN MAJOR MARKETS SUCH AS CHICAGO, NEW ORLEANS, NASHVILLE, OR SEATTLE.

HUB INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE OFFICES - EL PASO, T X
SUSTAINABILITY & FLEXIBILITY WERE TOP PRIORITIES FOR THIS CORPORATE RENOVATION. RELOCATING THEIR OFFICES TO THE 7TH & 8TH FLOORS OF THE CHASE TOWER IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN EL PASO, HUB INTERNATIONAL WANTED A SPACE THAT INSPIRED THEIR ASSOCIATES & WELCOMED THEIR CLIENTS. ASIDE FROM THE BUILDING CORE, THERE WAS NO CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION ON THIS PROJECT. RATHER, ALL PRIVATE OFFICES & CONFERENCE ROOMS WERE CONSTRUCTED USING MODULAR WALLS WITH FULL GLASS FRONTS & SLIDING BARN DOORS. THIS ALLOWED OPTIMAL USE OF SPACE & FOR SUNLIGHT TO FLOOD THE CENTRAL WORKSTATION AREA. ALONG WITH THE MODULAR WALLS, RAISED CONCRETE FLOORS WITH PLUG & PLAY ELECTRICAL PROVIDE MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY FOR MOVES, ADDS, & CHANGES. CLEAN LINES, A NEUTRAL COLOR PALETTE, THE MIX OF WOOD TONES, & ACCENTS OF BLUE CREATE A MODERN YET TIMELESS SPACE. PHOTO CREDIT: SCOTT WEAVER PHOTOGRAPHY

GECU CREDIT UNION EL PASO, TX
AS WITH MANY COMPANIES, CORPORATE BRANDING WAS AT THE FOREFRONT OF GECU'S NEW CONSTRUCTION BRANCH LOCATED IN EAST EL PASO. KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE REGION BY THEIR LOGO WITH BOLD BLUES AND GREENS, INCORPORATION OF THESE COLORS INTO THE DESIGN WAS KEY. CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL TEAM T0 CAREFULLY COORDINATE MATERIALS, FINISHES, AND DETAILS LED TO A TRULY UNIQUE DESIGN THAT TOLD A BRAND STORY. VIBRANT ACCENTS, GEOMETRIC PATTERNS, TEXTURED FINISHES, AND MODERN DETAILS AUTHENTICATE THE GECU BRAND AND CREATE A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE FOR THEIR CLIENTS.

EL PASO SPECIALTY HOSPITAL EL PASO, TX
AS A LONG STANDING PILLAR IN EL PASO'S MEDICAL COMMUNITY, IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE NEW PAIN & SPINE CENTER AT EL PASO SPECIALTY HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE PATIENTS WITH SPACES THAT MADE THEM FEEL SAFE AND COMFORTABLE. IT WAS EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO DESIGN SPACES THAT WERE EFFICIENT FOR THE STAFF WITH PRODUCTS, MATERIALS, AND FINISHES THAT WOULD WITHSTAND HIGH TRAFFIC AND COULD EASILY BE CLEANED AND MAINTAINED. SOOTHING BLUES, NEUTRAL TONES, AND WARM WOOD FINISHES PROVIDE A TRANQUIL, CALMING ENVIRONMENT FOR PATIENTS AND STAFF.
