Located in small yet vibrant Providence, Rhode Island; Edition Hotels is bringing a new luxurious vibe to the Innovation and Design District. Edition is a brand that prides themselves on unique and luxurious atmospheres, and holds the mantra “No two cities are alike, why should our hotels be?” Each Edition hotel design and concept is based around the specific location. The area is in walking distance from almost anything the city has to offer, making it great for local day guests, tourists, and anyone traveling for work. The many amenities such as the pool, various lounges, and spa are accessible to all.

Adding another lodging option within in Providence will encourage more people to come out to the city, whether to explore the schools, the history, or the overall vibe of Providence. The building sits on an angle along two busy streets. To address noise, there are no guest rooms on the first floor, and the fifth floor is used for storage, maintenance, and housekeeping, to separate rooftop noise from guest rooms below. Regular city noise is to be anticipated, but these specific separations minimize the noise levels. Valet parking is available to guests staying overnight.

Edition Providence offers some of the best views in the city, with offerings for different moods and occasions, from a summer afternoon on the terrace to a late night in the lounge.

concept & inspiration

The concept of the hotel of course pulls from its location, and was inspired by the Providence WaterFires. Providence WaterFire is an event put on to “revitalize the urban experience” and create community engagment, as it is a free event the entire city is welcome to attend. WaterFire brings an element of awe, wonder, and romance to the city, including gondola rides along the river.

Contrasts of light and dark, warm and cool, or mystery and predictability - WaterFire is a unique experience. That uniqueness was brought into this project through dark color selections, dim but warm lighting, and reflective surfaces, for light to bounce off of, just as the flames do against the seemingly black river. It brings a sensual feel to the hotel, not only with lighting, but with soft suedes and velvets in both public spaces and guest rooms. Rooms, suites, and the rooftop terrace and restauraunt have incredible views of WaterFire, so guests can enjoy the show while dining or relaxing in luxury.

Cosmic Candies is a privately owned, themed candy shop located in Salem, Massachusetts. Taking over an old chapel building, Cosmic Candies is bringing a new kind of religious experience; one that involves magic, glitter, sugar, and a crystal ball that spins cotton candy all day. Due to the historic nature of the building, the original structure was left aloneincluding the stained-glass windows, adding a Gothic element, which enhances the design choices made for the space. Since leaving the original structure, this design was mainly based around color and lighting to create a specific mood and experience, verses an emphasis on space planning or entirely rebuilding.

The guest experience is meant to be an immersive one, and the building tells the story of happening upon an abandoned church, but discovering so much more once inside.

02. cosmic candies

concept & inspiration

The concept of Cosmic Candies stems from the overall theme of magic and Paganism surrounding Salem. Crystals, tea leaves, tarot cards, astrology; all these practices have a sort of mystery and wonder to them. They can pull you in and make you believe, even when none of it is based in fact. It brings the same feeling of fascincation and awe that children have in a candy store. The senses are stimulated, making it hard not to look, feel, or smell absolutley everything in sight.

Heavy uses of deep purples, colored glass, low lighting, and various contraptions making liquid sugars and hard candies with no one manning them- makes the guest feel as though they have entered an entirely different world or galaxy.

NEXT is a new tech start up company, opening up a satellite location in Orlando, Florida. NEXT develops apps focused on mental health & wellbeing such as sleep trackers, white noise, productivity tracking, etc. With a business focusing on mental health opening in the sunshine state, it was easy to take full advantage of the natural sunlight this office building already had to offer. NEXT has a hybrid team, where some projects will be worked on remotely, while others will require on-location, so the space needed to provide plenty of flexible, open working areas, along with some private, more task focused stations.

The building has a grand lobby, with a spiral staircase as the focal point, and a public cafe to the left. Upstairs provides a private outdoor patio and break room for employee only. Adjacent to the breakroom and patio, is a large “brainstorming” space, where employees can collaborate in various ways by utilzing the modular furniture to gather comfortably for team meetings.

concept & inspiration

With NEXT focusing on mental health in the Sunshine State and putting emphasis on the need for Vitamin D, it’s also important to acknowledge what else refreshes and brings life: the rain. The concept for this design is a tropical rainstorm. Sometimes when things get to be too much, it can feel too bright or too hot, and sometimes a refeshing thunderstorm can help slow everything down for a minute. While still playing off the tropical environment Florida provides and soaking up all the natural sunlight we can get, bringing in the contrast of cool rain by using natural materials, minimal color with the occasional pop of sage or emerald greens, this working environment provides comfortable spaces for any mood or task.
