Handel Architects designed the building, with interiors by IwamotoScott Architecture. The solid white fiber concrete panels framing the oversized windows create a clean contemporary look for the corner lot surrounded by early 20th-century buildings of a similar height.

Handel writes about the design, saying the “glass fiber reinforced concrete cladding takes cues from the masonry buildings of the surrounding area, while the patterning and textured character of the façade offers a contemporary interpretation of traditional punched windows in the neighborhood. Designed to read as a continuous wrapper around the building, the façade also employs variation and modulation in window openings and panel sizes to correspond to interior units for the hotel and residential spaces within.”
