Kissel Design Tour

This unique mixed-use project blends hotel and multifamily housing uses with a shared entrance, lobby, and other amenities. The Hotel Lounge, Café, Roof Bar and other spaces are conceived as extensions of the neighborhood. Glass, metal, and brick are brought together in a contemporary palette deeply respectful of Broadway Auto Row’s historically industrial neighborhood. A vertical composition of soaring windows and suspended glass fins emphasizes the building’s shared primary entry, while also referencing theater marque signs of the neighborhood. The residential lobby features rotating art exhibits and social ‘maker’s’ work table provide opportunities for social gatherings.
