The design concept, focused on timeless quality, became the identity for not only the building, but the entire hotel brand.
A renovation to an existing downtown office building, its prominent site on the World’s Fair Park and its adjacency to the convention center provides an ideal setting for the conversion of the 35-year old building into a hospitality property.

Square Feet: 168,000 SF
Project Year: 2022
The Marriott was a two-phase, hotel brand conversion. The project included site improvements, exterior façade and mechanical system upgrades, as well as banquet hall, ballroom, lobby and guestroom renovations.
A new entry between The Tennessean and the Marriott features local muralists’ work, while openings along the World’s Fair Park Façade connect the renovated interior spaces to the park. Newly branded programs - including a local coffee shop, restaurant, game room, and a retail area showcasing local makers - breathe new life into a previously underutilized space.

“It’s definitely going to change the way the city is viewed when it comes to travelers coming from outside Knoxville....the skyline itself is going to be greatly improved.
-Skip Adams General Manager, Tennessean & Downtown MarriottMAKER EXCHANGE | KNOXVILLE, TN
Location: Alcoa, TN
Square Feet: 30,000 SF
Project Year: 2019
This project doubled the amount of existing event space and consists of a new 4,200 SF pre-function space, a large ballroom that extends the existing four ballrooms, three combinatory meeting spaces adjoining an outdoor courtyard and a new dramatic entry and drop-off area.
Cues are taken from Knoxville’s historic and natural environments, but executed with an authentic touch. Whether it be the rich millwork with rounded corners or the metal clasp of the headboard, the details are understated, and the design effortless.

Capitalizing on a palette of rich, bold color and a variety of layered textures, the interior spaces of the Lexington
DoubleTree Suites will find a balance between the features of the original French Quarter Inn and local Lexington character. Here, everyone is invited to a little bit of “laissez les bon temps rouler,” or let the good times roll.
MHM pushes traditional design firm boundaries by using innovative and expanded project delivery and management services to make great hospitality projects happen.

The exterior patio, terraces, and landscaped entrance displays custom fire pits, tree trunk tables, and metal water features. These elements bring a stylish urban garden experience into the heart of the city.
This dynamic yet warm design turned an existing, non-descript, CMU building into an attractive icon for North Knoxville and has become a catalyst for development in the area.
The design focus takes an existing industrial backdrop and infuses warm wood features, casual, community style seating, and showcases the brewery’s barrel stock. The warm and inviting space highlights not only the brewing process, but what the company is all about: community, craft, and collaboration.
