DOUBLETREE
BY HILTON
TUCSON, ARIZONA
Nestled between Tucson’s historic Barrio Viejo and its evolving downtown core, this hotel bridges past and present with a design rooted in heritage, comfort, and desert elegance.
Within Studio infused the interiors with warm woods, gem-toned accents, and subtle nods to the Southern Pacific Railroad and 1960s architecture. Vertical and horizontal lines echo Tucson’s rain and saguaro ribs, guiding guests from urban nostalgia to desert retreat.
A timeless palette and curated details offer a true sense of place—celebrating what was lost, and what still blooms.

HILTON
TUCSON, ARIZONA
The interior design supports a layered hospitality experience rooted in Tucson’s historic Barrio Viejo. Across six stories and 170 guest rooms, including private and executive suites, material selections and furnishings balance comfort, durability, and a strong sense of place.
Public spaces were designed to transition easily between retreat and gathering. An elevated second-floor pool and fitness center create a quiet escape above the city, while flexible meeting and event areas support a range of guest needs connected to the adjacent convention center.
Food and beverage interiors were conceived as distinct yet cohesive environments. El Mezquite Restaurant, Café Otero, Sol De Oro Pool Bar, and Bar Del Pueblo each offer a unique atmosphere within a unified design language.
At the DoubleTree by Hilton Tucson, the interiors are intentional, functional, and grounded in place.
THE BARN
TANQUE VERDE GUEST RANCH
TUCSON, ARIZONA
Located at the historic Tanque Verde Guest Ranch, The Barn is a 12,400 square foot venue set within 640 acres at the edge of Saguaro National Park East. The interior design blends the rugged character of the Rincon Mountains with a contemporary approach suited for large gatherings.
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame expansive desert views, while the grand dining space and adjacent lawn support seamless indoor and outdoor events. Designed to accommodate up to 350 guests, The Barn balances scale, flexibility, and a strong connection to place.

LO SCALO
HILTON PHOENIX
PHOENIX, ARIZONA [ON THE BOARDS]
Named for the Italian word for “layover,” Lo Scalo invites guests to pause, savor, and reconnect.
Within Studio reimagined this airportadjacent destination as a biophilic retreat, where post-monsoon desert tones meet the rustic charm of southern Italy.
From custom branded wallcoverings to living greenery, the space flows like a home: warm woods, open kitchens, and sun-washed patios echo the rhythm of slow meals and long conversations.
Industrial curves and artisanal textures honor both tradition and transit. Your layover just got a lot more interesting.

THE ROADRUNNER GRILL
TUCSON, ARIZONA
Perched in the Catalina Foothills, the 3,000 square foot Roadrunner Grill was reimagined by Within Studio as a vibrant oasis for SaddleBrooke’s active adult community.
Inspired by bright desert mornings and citrus-infused palettes, the design celebrates rejuvenation, connection, and fresh ingredients. Natural light, warm woods, and pops of green create a welcoming flow from dining room to pizza bar, where a wood-fired oven anchors the space in comfort and craft.
Horizontal lines and soft curves echo the rhythm of the landscape, while thoughtful branding and biophilic touches turn every meal into a moment of retreat.

RA SUSHI

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNA CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
The interior design for RA Sushi was conceived as a scalable brand experience from its first location in Scottsdale. The concept was intentionally developed to expand, ultimately supporting 16 restaurants nationwide.
Bold graphic elements, exposed structure, and signature red globe lighting create an energetic, recognizable atmosphere across markets. Interior and exterior dining areas flow together, encouraging movement, visibility, and social interaction.
Within Studio’s design became the blueprint for a cohesive coast-to-coast culinary identity built on consistency, flexibility, and strong brand presence.

FROST GELATO SHOPPE
TUCSON, ARIZONA
Frost began with a dream of Italian gelato and a single request: make it feel cold. We translated that vision into an immersive, icy atmosphere, crisp, luminous, and unforgettable. Our design became the signature experience now replicated across 10 U.S. shops, with 9 more on the global horizon.
DID

While ice cream can contain up to 50% air, gelato typically has only 20–30%, which is why that first bite feels so luxuriously rich.
