Here's a look at one of 360 guestrooms slated for renovation in the Caribbean – the "after" is a breath of fresh air. Our design elegantly weaves in the vibrant colors, textures, and patterns of the island's rich culture, including authentic works by local living artists. Each room tells a story, reflecting the island’s diverse people, traditions, and breathtaking natural landscapes.

The transformation of this Fortune 500, global consumer product company is night and day, as the 75,000-square-foot campus went from outdated and uncomfortable to bright, beautiful, and inspiring. We explored the old building and all its possibilities from top to bottom, landing on a design concept emphasizing hospitality, collaboration, and innovation. (Photos by Daniel Kelleghan)

This 100-year-old building is experiencing a dramatic transformation, from historic offices to luxury hotel. Arranged in a series of living room spaces, the lobby is sophisticated and comfortable, providing a moment of reprieve from the streets outside. We’re so excited to see this adaptive reuse project open later this year! #hospitalitydesign #interiordesign #hddesign #archilovers #wearecurioso #areyoucurioso #osos #curioso #staycurious

The before and after views of Bentwood Tavern at Marina Grand Resort are night and day, as we transformed the nautically inspired design into a moody and intimate dining experience. This space is particularly close to our hearts, as we've celebrated personal and professional milestones together over the years. In the last image, our team celebrates the 2016 holidays at Bentwood Tavern. – with Toast Hotel Group. #interiordesign #newbuffalohotel #marinagrandresort #bentwoodtavern #newbuffalodesign #newbuffalorestaurant

On the 13th floor of the Chicago Athletic Association, Cindy's Rooftop is one of those iconic Chicago spots known by guests and locals alike for its delicious cocktails and sweeping views of Lake Michigan. We were tasked with elevating the guest experience and creating operational flexibility within the stunning glass atrium. The restaurant's namesake is the esteemed Cindy Pritzker, matriarch of the Pritzker family and dedicated philanthropist in Chicago. For decades, Lake Michigan was a source of joy for the Pritzker family. Designing with that sense of comfort and happiness in mind, we emphasized the stunning architectural details already in place and layered in lakehouse-inspired elements. Wood paneling, woven fabrics in striped patterns, upholstered bar stools, and a new back bar (displaying a model yacht collector's dream) all help tell the story of this unforgettable lakehouse in the sky.

This dialogue about facing diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges head-on in hospitality needs to keep happening. It's not always easy, but it's necessary. Real people, real stories, real change. Let's keep the dialogue open and the progress moving forward. Thank you Dyonne Fashina, Jason Bass, Ashli Johnson, M.S., CHT, CGSP, Darius Davie for bringing your whole selves, your real experiences, and your inspiring work to the conversation.
