RESIDENCES AT THE FOUR SEASONS
PRIVATE RESIDENCES
Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville offers a juxtaposed, exclusive respite from the bustling city center. Geometric stone floors, a hallmark of Four Seasons, provide a prominent design at reception.

Strategically placed hallways and doors block direct views into the primary bedroom and bathroom, providing privacy.

ARTERRA
MIXED-USE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Kansas City, Missouri
Rising as a beacon in downtown Kansas City, Arterra shines as the new home for eclectic urban living in the Crossroads Art District. As with the district’s name, this 12-story mixed-use building takes cues from the “crossroads” condition of its site.
The taller apartment form faces north and engages the downtown skyline, with the lower parking structure and rooftop pool interacting with shorter buildings to the south. A glass-walled lobby and retail spaces line the street and a rooftop social lounge hovers above.
Lighter-toned brick and vertical standing seam metal panels speak to the district’s eclectic nature and bring variety to the building’s different faces. Staggered windows correspond to the apartment units’ functions. Solid and open balconies wrap all sides of the tower, creating an abstract pattern that conveys a sense of art and diversity.

THE JAMES
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Kirkwood, Missouri
Situated in the heart of Kirkwood, Missouri, a new development seeks to reengage with the community and vibrancy of downtown. The current suburban condition of island buildings and parking is transformed into a series of urban courtyards and open space for people of Kirkwood. Adding much needed density to downtown, this five-floor complex of apartments and retail spaces activates the street while bolstering the business of the anchor bank tenant on the south corner.
Envisioned as a series of multi-phased buildings on two adjacent properties, the overall facility is designed both with a short and long-term vision in mind. The natural breaks and links allow for a logical approach to phasing, ease of vehicular circulation for the bank, and space for people to move in and around from the pedestrian thoroughfares nearby.

ACADEMIA OF ATHENS, AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION
MARRIOTT HOTEL
Athens, Greece
The luxurious Academia of Athens captures the allure and intrigue of the Greek capital. Equally inspired by its landmark namesake and the vibrant culture of Athens, the hotel extends to guests a modern, sophisticated base from which to explore the city. HOK designed the hotel as a contemporary interpretation of the three orders that constituted Plato’s Academy: science in the lobby and common areas, philosophy in guestrooms and arts in amenity spaces.
The interior color palette of dark green, black and gold offers a counterpoint to the stone, brass, wood and leather. Guestrooms and suites invite guests to embrace the philosopher lifestyle. Brass light fixtures and tufted upholstered furniture evoke a private library, which, along with each room’s curated book collection, tempt guests to lose themselves in writings from the past.

GRAND FLATS
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
St. Louis, Missouri
Grand Flats transforms an abandoned site into a vibrant residential destination that brings market-rate multifamily housing to one of the city’s most diverse and concentrated neighborhoods. The project extends the South Grand Community Improvement District with safe, pedestrian pathways, strategic landscaping and a building entry that activates and engages the street.
While modest in scale, the building’s abstract approach to design weaves form and materials together to be more than the sum of their parts. Balconies are artfully arranged while contrasting materials define and carve out the building’s contours.
The building is designed to complement the existing scale of buildings on Grand Avenue and enhance the pedestrian experience with a redesigned sidewalk and transparent amenity spaces including a pool, garden and patio. Inside, common gathering spaces feature wood details, industrial elements and approachable furnishings and fixtures.

14TH & W MIXED-USE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Washington, DC
This development, which spans the length of a city block, includes new apartments, retail and the renovation of a YMCA. The project’s scale and the presence of five “historically contributing” early 20th century row houses required design approval by the Historic Preservation Review Board and the District of Columbia Office of Planning.HOK’s design restored the facades of the row houses on 14th Street to a historically appropriate appearance and seamlessly integrated the interiors into the new construction. The massing and materials used at the corner of 14th and W Streets respect the historic fabric while helping to establish a strong presence in a growing commercial district.
The renovated Y includes 50,000 square feet of space including exercise rooms, a swimming pool, a daycare center, meeting rooms and a roof deck.

ST. REGIS BELGRADE HOTEL
HOTEL & RESIDENCES Belgrade, Serbia
The new St. Regis Belgrade hotel celebrates the rich history and culture of Serbia’s famed ‘White City’ and will occupy the first nine floors of the 40-story Kula Belgrade, a signature tower within the Belgrade Waterfront development. The entry hall’s grand stair, carefully curated artwork, embossed metal finishes and elegant furniture extend a warm welcome to guests and lead them into the hotel’s public areas.
Two strong focal points—a grand fireplace and sculptural service counter—define the St. Regis Bar, a beloved signature of the brand. In guestrooms, HOK’s design references traditional weaving patterns of Serbian textiles and uses a refined, light palette for colors and materials. By channeling the spirit of legendary Serbian painter Milena Pavlović Barili, the Presidential Suite has art and furnishings that evoke an independent, sophisticated style. In addition to well-appointed guestrooms, the hotel includes restaurants, bars, a fitness center, a spa and meeting space

LE MÉRIDIEN HOTEL
HOTEL RENOVATION
Clayton, Missouri
Silverwest Hotels selected HOK to design a rebranding, repositioning and renovation of a Sheraton hotel in downtown Clayton, just outside of St. Louis. HOK’s design celebrates the brand’s French heritage and the strong connection of St. Louis to France. The design evokes a modern “pied–à–terre,” a home away from home with a residential sensibility.
To refresh the 17-story building’s exterior, HOK designed all new glazing work with a Mondrian-inspired window mullion pattern, increasing natural light into the guestrooms by 30 percent. The redesigned portecochere entry gives the building a modern, friendly feel. The overall color palette is grounded by true American Midwest denim blue and pops of bold Hermes’ orange.
The design transformed a seldom-used, glass-enclosed pool and adjacent fitness room on the fifth floor into a new outdoor pool with an open terrace overlooking downtown Clayton. A 17th-floor storage area has been converted into a daylight-filled fitness center.
