Client Brief

After meeting with the client for the palouse hotel, I was able to get a good sense of the project and what was to be done. The St. Elmo hotel, located in Palouse, WA, is a historical building first built in 1887. After years of many uses, the spot is being renovated into a hotel/apartment complex. With eight separate spaces, the project manager, has opted to create a place for both permanent residents and temporary visitors. The overall feel of the hotel is to be somewhat of a “green” place, using environmental friendly and recycled materials. The separate living spaces are hoped to have a modern and balanced feel to them, including the design that will allow each place to seemingly flow naturally, with no effort. The plan is to have this historical, 125 year old building, transform into an inviting, natural place for people to visit and live for many more years to come.
