Challenge
This popular downtown hotel needed a site and landscape that accommodated the active uses on the front and to blend into the residential neighborhood on the back side.
Solution
A well-articulated urban design provides a sustainable streetscape solution along a very active stretch of 2nd Street SW. Two courtyards and a sport court, along with limestone columns and ornamental fencing, were designed on 1st Street SW which faces the neighborhood.
