Alleyway THE Design
The Alleyway is a destination for travelers and locals enjoy the heart of Downtown Phoenix – The Arts District. Whether it be to enjoy a quick snack at the loud and vibrant restaurant or relax at the quiet boutique hotel, visitors will surely have a unique experience. The Alleyway features an industrialized aesthetic with hints of softness. The design inspiration came from exploring Downtown Phoenix. Walking around the site, I was inspired by the various combinations of old and new buildings. Materials such as metal, wood, and concrete dominate the urban landscape, but nature always has its way. Little moments of nature constantly peek through cracks in the pavement. Due to the weeds and flowers, suddenly the cold, hard road became a bit warmer – like an alleyway. The Alleyway’s main idea is to focus on the natural beauty found within an industrialized society.

the loud Restaurant The restaurant provides an energetic and vibrant atmosphere. Saturated colors such as poppy orange, blue, and shades of green can be found throughout. The furnishings mirror the industrial aesthetic with the occasional mixed and matched pieces as if one were to find a random chair on the street and bring it home. Large open windows and star-like lighting give the outdoor effect of an alleyway. Traces of greenery soften the space.

The quiet Hotel The hotel provides a quiet and relaxing atmosphere for guests who want to get away from the busy scene. The hotel palette features muted tones and softer, more comfortable furniture. Found materials are worked into the fixtures. Grey carpet tiles replace the concrete flooring to give a more inviting feel with similar aesthetics.
