Hotels


Atlantic Sands
Rehoboth Beach, Delaware 


Visually, the design team chose to draw from the hotel’s name, looking to utilize color, shape, and texture of materials to promote the notion of water and sand. Curvilinear sea green glass was introduced as an overlay of balcony rails and curtain-glass windows. These materials were transparent, revealing stucco walls of sand pebble color beyond. The streetscape result is both striking and sensual, and leads the visitor successfully to the main entrance of the hotel. Interior materials continue the theme to within, and the captured ocean views are magnificent.


Castle in the Sand Motel Annex
Ocean City, Maryland


Architectural and structural services were provided for this 58-unit, five-story plus a basement, precast concrete and masonry motel with a pile foundation. The building is located on an ocean beach and was designed with knock-out walls in the lower level to protect the structure during a storm surge.
