Project Story

The Challenge

Creating intimate gathering spaces in a large courtyard while maintaining the hotel's historic character and providing flexible seating for events.

Our Solution

We designed custom curved planters that double as seating, creating natural conversation areas. The Corten steel patina complements the hotel's historic stone and brick while the modern forms add contemporary sophistication.

Results

The courtyard has won two design awards and increased event bookings by 40%. Guest reviews consistently mention the beautiful outdoor spaces.
