Enriching lives and

strengthening communities

OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY BKV Group enhances the physical and cultural environment through meaningful, responsive, multi-disciplinary design. Supported by innovative technology and a strategic market focus, we work to transform communities locally, nationally, and internationally. We believe the craft is as important as the science, especially in giving soul to the process and built environment. Through a highly participatory endeavor, our design strategies express a “rootedness” in their surroundings. This strategy goes beyond the specific building to deliberately capture the expression of people, site, and culture. It is a contextually sensitive approach that is based on, and reactive to, our clients’ goals, budget, vision, and focus, with our creative process engaging all team members to transform and positively shape communities around the globe.

O U R P RO CESS

BKV Group provides total building design: from the aesthetics of branding, to the science of building technology, to the challenge of creative cost control.

CONCEPT/ VISIONING

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

DISCOVER YOUR STORY

PLANNING: FUNCTION/ OPERATIONS meet FORM/GUEST EXPERIENCE

REFINING THE DESIGN

With the story in mind, Schematic Design focuses on function.

Preliminary massing, space plans, initial finish and FF&E selections are developed at this time resulting in a design that embodies your goals, concept narrative, and functional needs. BKV works with your operations team to understand the operational flow and adjacencies in order to create a design that functions well for your staff and guests alike.

Refinement of the concept and documentation occur during this phase by marrying the space planning with the concept in a 3-dimensional illustration of the design.

Visualization presentations may include wireframe and/or rendered studies, plans, key elevations, initial detail, material and FF&E selections, as well as virtual reality walk throughs when warranted.

Immersing our holistic team in your project from the very beginning to understand your culture, values, objectives, challenges, comps, and location serve as inspiration to develop the project story and the guest experience. These insights inform the overarching vision/ concept narrative that will drive every aspect of the design.

Developing the “big idea” and concept for any project is key to the start of design direction. The vision captures high-level project goals that define priorities and user experience of the space.

TECHNICAL DESIGN AND DOCUMENTATION

EXECUTION

The model room showcases the design, tests the details, finishes, and layout before construction takes place and bulk orders are purchases.

It provides an opportunity to explore quality of goods from various vendors, and address aesthetic and functional details. The model room is great tool for brand/owner to show off the new design.

Construction Documents include Reference, Floor, Finish, Furniture, and Reflected Ceiling Plans; Elevations; Sections; Details; Schedules, and Specifications necessary for your contractor and procurement professionals to execute the project. Documents are coordinated with in-house disciplines and outside consultants, and reviewed for QA/ QC. Project bidding, permitting, cost verification, and VE may occur prior to construction.

During Construction and Installation, BKV’s team is actively engaged with the General Contractor and Procurement teams.

Periodic site visits to monitor construction progress, responding to RFIs and submittals, helping the team address challenges that arise in the field, and review of FF&E, artwork and Accessory installation. Our team responds quickly to keep the project progressing.

Our approach to repositioning considers existing functional systems and any areas that are designated to remain as is. We then review the needs of all users as we reassess the functional, sustainable, and aesthetic goals for the project. Working to improve efficiencies, function, and adjacencies, we re-evaluate the service, social and wellness programming while exploring multipurpose capabilities and indoor-outdoor connectivity.

Creating positive impacts on people, the planet,

and providing the greatest value for our clients VISION Architecture is beautiful for the harmony it creates between itself, it’s environment, and its inhabitants. Sustainable design is the natural progression of that vision with BKV designed buildings always responding to their context — their location, their function, and how they are used by their occupants. BKV Group has a holistic vision for the building’s life-cycle to appropriately respond to context, function, and use. We leverage sustainable design strategies by tapping into a wide spectrum of knowledge — of architecture, interior design, urban planning, energy modeling, engineering, landscape architecture, technology and science — with our clients receiving the benefit of decades of collective professional expertise. In addition, because there is no predetermined outcome or prototypical concept, our process yields work of extraordinary originality, crafted to the specific needs of the site, user and circumstances.

HYATT PLACE AT CUSTOM HOUSE St. Paul, Minnesota

The 17-story Saint Paul Post Office & Custom House was constructed in phases during 1934, 1939, and 1961. It served as the city’s main post office until 2013, and was the third-busiest post office in the country during its peak years after World War II. Thanks to the building’s rich history, it has unique architectural and interior details that range from Art Deco to post-modern. Now, as part of a buildingwide adaptive reuse initiative, the 748,000 sf Custom House is home to Saint Paul’s first Hyatt Place hotel. The developers, Nelson Development and Exeter Group LLC, selected BKV Group to carry out the renovation, which involves interior design, architecture, and programming/planning. The hotel features 149 rooms over five stories, a fitness center and swimming pool, a rooftop deck, 1,800 sf of high-tech meeting/function space, a Coffee to Cocktails Bar, and a 24/7 Gallery Menu serving made-to-order food around the clock. BKV Group also provided full architecture, engineering, and interior design services for the luxury Residences at Custom House, which shares a lobby and some amenities with the hotel. The project also includes a restaurant, public storage, and other commercial uses.

WATERFRONT HOTEL & EVENT CENTER CONCEPT North Shore, Minnesota

The City of Two Harbors, Minnesota (population 3,546) has long had a goal of attracting a hotel and event center in hopes of hosting larger events of all types for the greater region. Already known internationally as the starting point for Grandma’s Marathon.

Two Harbors is located along the stunning North Shore of Lake Superior and boasts one of only a handful of active iron ore shipping terminals outside of the major great lake city ports like Duluth and Superior. The site is located on a large undeveloped area between the town center and Agate Bay Harbor.

The 118 key hotel and event center with its 11,000 SF of meeting space are seen as a catalyst for future harbor front development which may include a large and active city park with a band shell along with future commercial and multifamily residential parcels.

The project’s design is inspired by both the iron ore industrial heritage as well as the rugged terrain of the North Shore. Simple massing metal facades and an expansive stone terrace (with hot tubs and focal fire pit and a monumental stair leading down to the park and harbor powerfully celebrate “place”. Ultimately, relocating Grandma’s starting line, hosting larger concerts and theaters, festivals and winter sporting tournaments, Two Harbors Hotel & Event Center will bring new attention and economic success to this historic and thriving North Shore destination.

HILTON WACO REPOSITIONING CONCEPT Waco, Texas

A concept design to reposition an existing 40-year-old 196-key Hilton Hotel directly adjacent to the Waco Convention Center both of which are located along to Brazos River in the downtown riverfront district.

The proposal involves an extensive reskinning of the guestroom tower including an addition floor of a sky-bar with outdoor terraces which view up and down river. Updating and redesign of all guestrooms is planned along with new environmentally friendly mechanical systems.

The facility’s main level will be extensively remodeled and expanded to grow food and beverage and meeting spaces and enhance experience as well. A fresh new resort style pool environment lined with an addition of 14 casita style guestrooms, fitness spaces, and pool bar will completely transform the property’s identity.

INTERCONTINENTAL ST. PAUL, RIVERFRONT St. Paul, Minnesota

The 24 story Intercontinental St. Paul Riverfront Hotel is centrally located in downtown St Paul with spectacular views of the Mississippi river. Built in 1966, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and Graves Hospitality management hired BKV Group to revitalize 410 guestrooms and create a fresh new experience in the public spaces.

Their vision was to create a destination, appealing to locals and visitors alike.

BKV took inspiration from St. Paul’s mid-century modern roots, incorporating clean lined bold color and a 60’s modern vibe. New hospitality suites and meeting spaces were created on the first floor along with a new upscale restaurant and bar. The lobby lounge features modular lighting sculpture brightening the space with modern whimsical take on “clouds”. Geometric 3-dimensional screens provide interest, drawing guests to the concierge and beyond. The design team incorporated a bright, fresh color pallet in the public spaces so guests may experience energy and fun upon arrival. Guestrooms maintain the clean modern feel with a soothing neutral pallet with some bright pops of color for excitement.

Whether you are visiting for the first time for a local meeting or are up for a night on the town, the fresh new design invites guests in to have a little fun and return time and again.

AIRPORT HOTEL (HOTEL VOLANT) Austin, Texas

Texas grit meets Austin elegance at this new destination for travelers and locals alike. The hotel embraces the artful and creative soul of Austin and serves as a gateway to all the city has to offer. The unexpected design is inspired by local flora and the romanticism of beholding flight. A haven that celebrates Austin and allures guests to sit back, relax, and get ready for take off.

Strategically and conveniently located at the primary vehicle entry and exit point of Austin’s Bergman International Airport, the 206 key hotel houses roughly 5,000SF of meeting space, a 3,200SF main level restaurant & bar, as well as a 2,000SF sky-lounge bar venue with an outdoor terrace for airplane watching. Many of the design moves on the exterior of the building pay homage to forms of movement found in military and civilian aviation.

A 6’ deep bresaola extends out from the primary south and west facing facades to both appear like “wings” and, more importantly, to provide much needed sun-shading in the harsh Texas summer climate. The main entry of the hotel is shaded by the hotel guest tower above and is animated with a “fluid” appearing ceiling design and is immersed in fragrant native plantings.

THE SUMMIT Orlando, Florida

The Summit – a 31-story tower located in the heart of downtown Orlando – is a modern take on the luxury way of life that combines condos, hotels, and retail spaces into one building. With views facing Lake Eola, The Summit will provide Orlando with upscale living and hotels – something the city has needed for several years.

In keeping a very minimalistic design approach, The Summit will expose its concrete columns as frames, while the parking garage will have clean vertical lines to bring movement and texture to the building. One of the most significant challenges in designing this building was merging a 6-story parking garage, a 10-story hotel, and a 15-story residential area with retail and restaurant spaces into one structure – all while ensuring there is a clear distinction between guests and residents.

DESERT COLORS RESORT HOTEL & VILLAS St. George, Utah

Located a little over an hour northeast of Las Vegas in the growing city of St. George, Utah, Desert Colors Resort Hotel & Villas is the center piece of a large mixed-use development planned on the southern edge of town. St. George has a rich and blended cultural heritage of indigenous, Spanish Missionaries, and settlers from the Church of Latter-Day Saints.

HYATT REGENCY PORTLAND Portland, Oregon

The City of Portland Oregon had aspirational proposals for a convention center headquarters hotel for thirty-plus years, and all had gone unrealized. A headquarters hotel could attract national conventions and have a positive impact on the local community.

The importance of the project required the greatest caliber of design management to ensure its long-lasting contribution to Portland’s civic identity.

Designing a functionally efficient, sustainable, 14-story full-service 600-room flagship hotel with 30,000SF of meeting space and a mixed-use parking structure, on an extremely tight and sloping site – directly across from the Oregon Convention Center – posed significant challenges. The new hotel actively fills and invigorates a crucial gap in the existing urban fabric and links the Lloyd District to the Moda-Center Sports Arena and the Willamette River beyond.

The site is bounded by a complicated collection of one and two-way streets, as well as a primary LRT line connecting downtown Portland to the international airport. Managing the design to the constraints of the site resulted in four uniquely programmed and situated hotel entrances, each delineated as wood-clad portals. Creating visual connection was paramount.

The design process sought to elevate the visual experience with broad expanses of glazing in virtually all public spaces. Numerous outdoor terraces, several accented with rain gardens, showcase striking views of the city. Addressing incredibly complex city design zoning guidelines and rigorous design review commission recommendations actively helped shape the success of the project. A beautifully inspired and executed addition to the city’s superb mix of architectural landmarks, the building design is rich in architectural expression and materials.

Created with an active street level design focus which includes a fullservice restaurant and bar and stand-alone retail, it engages a newly updated MLK Plaza and more importantly, the neighboring convention center with its iconic spires symbolizing Portland. The Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center will serve as an economic engine and continue to produce for the local and regional economy for years to come. *Trace Jacques experience prior to BKV Group as Lead Designer at ESG Architecture & Design

OMNI VIKINGS LAKE Eagan, Minnesota

After an extensive site selection process, the Minnesota Vikings NFL team moved its team headquarters and practice facility to the south side of the Twin Cities metro area. This new location would allow for a vast, redefined expansion of the overall program and community imprint. The Vikings organization embraced the vision of the City of Eagan, which put forth an imagined destination experience for the Viking Lakes development. A key component to the success of this vision would be a signature full-service conference center hotel.

What came to be is a 14 story 320 key hotel with 18,000SF of meeting space in addition to 4 food & beverage venues along with a full-service Nordic spa and indoor pool. The site location for the hotel was chosen for its prominent visibility along a major metro freeway and is omnipresent throughout the development. Positioned in a natural landscape setting between two small lakes, the hotel overlooks the Viking headquarters and primary indoor practice building. It is connected by a trail system allowing players easy mobile access around the campus during training camp.

Inspiration for the building design was derived from the organic plan organization of Nordic villages and incorporates angular forms that resemble the rocky landscapes of Scandinavian shores. This “chiseled” architectural expression permeates all Viking-branded buildings, including US Bank Stadium, Home of Superbowl LII. One prominent design feature of the hotel is the creation of six innovatively stacked, two-story all-glass hospitality lounges, with views of both downtown skylines. Each lounge is accessible to two guest room floors as rentable social space, and during training camp they become important spaces for players to bond.

Omni Hotels recognized the property’s immense value and stepped in to purchase it during construction. Omni now owns and operates the property as a premier hotel in their exclusive worldwide collection.

The Omni Hotel at Viking Lakes is a true performance center, adding a new dimension to the Viking brand, and connecting the organization to the greater community in dynamic and meaningful ways. Providing excellent hotel accommodations, it will serve to establish Eagan as a first-class destination for years to come. *Trace Jacques experience prior to BKV Group as Lead Designer at ESG Architecture & Design

RADISSON BLU MOA Bloomington, Minnesota

Mall of America draws shoppers and tourists from around the world and MOA leadership had long considered adding a premiere hotel to the 96-acre property. Carlson Companies and Mortenson Development approached MOA with an opportunity to build the first North American location of Radisson Blu – a highly successful international hospitality brand, well-known for its luxe service and extraordinary design. The resulting project became a 14 story, 500 key new hotel with 22,000SF of meeting space, a full-service bar and restaurant, spa, indoor pool and 2 retail outlets.

The design team managed and successfully navigated a host of design challenges, including a constrained overall footprint and height limitations due to MOA’s proximity to MSP International Airport. The project had to maintain full operational capacity for MOA throughout construction, including access to several primary loading docks that pass directly under the new Radisson Blu site footprint.

The project also had to win the approval of multiple stakeholders: MOA management, Carlson Companies, MSP International Airport, the City of Bloomington, and most importantly, Hennepin County, which approved the Community Reinvestment Act funds to finance construction of the hotel. Radisson Blu was designed to be seamlessly connected to the Mall of America.

The modern architecture of the building was fashioned with a bold, refined edge and attention to detail. Elements of the exterior aesthetic were subtly inspired by the industrial heritage and seasonal landscapes of Minnesota. An interior design collaboration, including designers from Scotland and Finland, created a fusion of contemporary European and American design. A stylish, two-story lobby showcases artist-designed furniture. Art enriches public spaces, and guestrooms are posh and high-tech. Inspired concepts, shapes, and images cater to the dynamic of the shopping scene. Radisson Blu transformed MOA’s image, adding a bold new dimension to this popular destination.

The hotel greets visitors as a place to stay and a place to hold major events. The success of Blu has spurred additional high-end hotel development at MOA. The Radisson Blu brand has established a mark of exceptional experience and design in North America. *Trace Jacques experience prior to BKV Group as Lead Designer at ESG Architecture & Design

THE WESTIN JACKSON Jackson, Mississippi

Jackson, Mississippi had a goal of attracting the first four-star fullservice hotel to the region in order to put the city on the map. A quality property would enhance identity, attract tourism and support the recently completed Jackson Convention Complex. Working with a young native developer for several years, and testing three completely different sites in the process, a land deal was finally secured and a Westin hotel flag approved. After securing a full city block adjacent to the Federal Courthouse, only two blocks from the convention center, the most important design management goal for the hotel was to establish maximum functionality within the property while providing meaningful orientation and connections to the surrounding urban context, including the State Capitol and a public art museum.

The final design became a 9-story 205 key hotel with 11,500SF of meeting space with a full-service hotel bar and restaurant and an independent spa. The developer and city officials were keenly interested in celebrating Mississippi’s musical heritage as the birthplace of several genres, such as Soul, Gospel, Rhythm and Blues and even Rock and Roll (Elvis was born in Tupelo, MS), with the architectural expression and interior design to showcase the uniqueness of the place. A musically inspired facade underscores the design of the hotel, which pays homage to these musical styles by architecturally exploring and interpreting some of the key musical instruments which helped shape and define the music itself. The property has a great collection of world-famous signed guitars displayed throughout the public spaces.

The warm climate of this southern state afforded the building a unique opportunity to have additional outdoor event spaces not commonly associated with Westin properties. The design incorporates a signature trellis-covered outdoor event space opposite the main ballroom, which is one of the hotel’s celebrated spaces. Successfully bringing the first four-star full-service hotel to the state of Mississippi required vision and determination. Economic benefits of the project are strongly felt throughout the city and region and will spur more development as business owners and other developers recognize the hotel as the new hot spot in Jackson. The Westin Jackson has introduced a new level of quality to a truly special American city. *Trace Jacques experience prior to BKV Group as Lead Designer at ESG Architecture & Design

Minneapolis, Minnesota

The nine-story, 245-room AC Hotel by Marriott, Minneapolis Downtown, is situated on the corner of 4th Street and Hennepin Avenue, at a prominent site surrounded by distinctive modern and historic architecture. Formerly a surface parking lot, the AC Hotel reintroduces a street wall and a richer pedestrian experience to an important urban site.

The AC Hotel has a distinctive European style, which comes from the influence of founder Antonio Catalán, a Spanish hotelier. In 2011, Marriott formed a venture to take Catalán’s brand beyond Spain, seeking development partners in various markets. The Minneapolis hotel is the 10th AC in the U.S. and the AC brand places a particular emphasis on engaging the identity of each unique urban neighborhood in which the hotels are placed. Although it is a selectservice hotel, this 140,000 square-foot location incorporates some upscale amenities including a fitness center, several meeting rooms and guest rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and walk-in showers.

The building massing and expression of the upper facades respond to the neighboring context, including the Historic Lumber Exchange Building next door and the Cesar Pelli-designed Public Library across 4th Street. The enhanced façade expression on the street sides are balanced with a highly simplified expression on the building backside. *Trace Jacques experience prior to BKV Group as Lead Designer at ESG Architecture & Design

LODGE KOHLER LAMBEAU Greenbay, Wisconsin

The impact of the Green Bay Packers extends well beyond the game, and the organization had a vision to invest in Titletown, an idea that would reflect the team’s ongoing commitment to the local community.

Titletown, located immediately west of Lambeau Field, would feature a 10-acre public park plaza surrounded by new development and anchored by an upscale hotel. Kohler, an international Wisconsinbased company with a hospitality component, was approached with the idea of bringing together two iconic Wisconsin institutions. The site of the hotel fronts both Lambeau Field and the central open public space of Titletown. It was important to provide meaningful and practical approachability to the property for game-day settings as well as the rest of the year. The complementary relationship between Lodge Kohler and the Packer stadium provides a range of services, including meeting and event space and a quality stay for optimal guest experiences. The resulting 5-story 150 key hotel has become an iconic anchor to the Title Town development.

The architectural expression of the building is an extension of the 1920’s-era Kohler headquarters, also compatible with the architecture of Lambeau Field. Rugged yet refined interiors are custom designed to reflect its AAA Four-Diamond ranking – with warm shades of wood, a rich color palette, and bronze accents throughout. A connection to the Packers includes carefully selected game photos and artifacts, but the building is not just about sports memorabilia. Lodge Kohler is designed to highlight the art of athleticism. A fresh idea inspired the decision to locate a prominent panoramic bar, restaurant and terrace on the top floor of the hotel, with a large expanse of windows overlooking both Lambeau and Titletown. A “Leaps & Bounds” cafe adjacent to the hotel lobby opens to the public park. Kohler Waters Spa is a signature amenity of the company known for its high-quality plumbing products.

This key attraction resides on the private side of the hotel, which includes an indoor pool and a private outdoor garden event space.

Titletown is a transformational development bringing new life to the heart of Green Bay. Lodge Kohler Lambeau contributes greatly to the success of this iconic destination, helping to facilitate the goal of attracting fans and tourists for generations to come. *Trace Jacques experience prior to BKV Group as Lead Designer at ESG Architecture & Design
