The challenge: This is the "after" photo, but upon arrival, Rachel describes "years of mismatched renovations and redesigns had left the hotel disjointed and badly in need of a cohesive design direction. Without any significant common spaces, the 19 room hotel lacked a center — a place from which a clear aesthetic direction could emanate throughout the rest of the public and common spaces."
I like the way the stairs go to each level and allows people to go wherever they want to without going inside the house. It looks unique and interesting.
