The Retreat is my final thesis project concluding my Master of Fine Arts in Interior Design from New York School of Interior Design. This project explores the idea of a new brand of wellness-centric hotels launching their first location in New York City. The hotel’s amenities and design details align with Japanese principles of design related to nature and overall well-being.

The Retreat is a boutique wellness hotel proposed to be located at 405 West 13th Street in the Meatpacking District of New York City, NY. The property is located on the site of the Gaansevort Market Historic District and is in walking distance to the Hudson River, the High Line, and more. The hotel has eight floors, including a cellar and rooftop. It is approximately 40,000 square feet of the ultimate wellness environment.
