Role: Project Architect while at River Street Architecture for a new $12M Fairfield Inn by Marriott, a four-story hospitality development comprising approximately 17,500 SF and 85 guest rooms.
Design Intent: The project was designed to deliver a high-quality guest experience while meeting Marriott brand standards and responding to the unique characteristics of the site and surrounding community. Amenities include an indoor pool, fitness center, and welcoming public spaces that support both business and leisure travelers.
Working closely with the Marriott design and review team, the project adapted the brand’s prototype standards to the specific site conditions while maintaining consistency with Marriott's established guest experience and operational requirements. Careful coordination throughout the design process ensured both brand compliance and local relevance.
A key success of the project was its accelerated delivery schedule. Design, construction documentation, Marriott review, and jurisdictional approvals were completed within an eight-month timeframe, requiring close collaboration among the ownership team, consultants, brand representatives, and local authorities.
