Situated next to a warehouse redevelopment with future parking or apartment opportunities, the hotel’s design maximizes its key count while complementing the larger context of the district.

Faceted panels, reflecting the industrial style, change color with the sky’s interaction, creating a thoughtful gradation. The intentional reflectivity of the exterior picks up the surroundings, showcasing a dynamic and visually engaging facade. Exterior lighting has been strategically incorporated to attract families on game days and draw people into the hotel. The design pays homage to the city’s industrial past, where Dayton was once a hub of technological advancement.
