A textured concrete wall that leads to the lobby features an wood art piece by Andy Vogt, which he made from salvaged hardwood lath boards arranged to create two-dimensional Escher-like “drawings” that appear three-dimensional.

In the lobby, flowing three-dimensional sculptures by Sabine Reckewell, help to create a welcoming vibe, while a wall of glass looks out onto the street.

A sunlight stair tower has been designed to lure people in and away from the elevator.

The guest rooms each have their own private outdoor space by way of a balcony or patio, while local textiles and art warm up the mix of classic and new furnishings.

Some of the rooms have an open ensuite bathroom, with both a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and a Sonoma Stoneworks cast tub and vanity.

Apart from the design of the hotel, David Baker Architects also created a custom bench named the ‘Harmon’.

An alternative seating area is located between two tall section of the building. String lights have been used to light the space up at night, and the narrow but long table makes it ideal for a small group.
