fall 2020: the arcadian concept

Concept: The Arcadian is a boutique hotel located in Downtown Phoenix. This hotel was inspired by the 5 C’s of Arizona: Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus, Climate. I wanted to use these as points of inspiration to introduce a new environment to the downtown area. I surrounded the entire hotel by a citrus grove, working to create a calming and serene family-friendly environment. I worked to take foundational elements of Arizona and apply them in unique ways within my design.

1: A person who lives a simple quiet life
