Moxy by Marriott is a lifestyle-branded hotel is designed at the convergence of the historic Gaslamp District and East Village of San Diego. The architecture will embody the soul of the neighborhood; a gesture of sculptural, modern, and urban. The building façade’s secondary louvered system and cross brace detail will act as complementary architectural elements. The louvers, appearing to be positioned at random, will serve as visual buffers for the guest room mechanical units.
Inside, the hotel is designed to be communal and inviting. Exposed concrete, piping and duct work will give the ground level an honest, open feel. Integral to the hotel brand; the public space will be separated into zones that shift from calm to energetic.
The cohesive focal point of the public spaces will be a custom iconic and textured light installation resembling flowing water. The animated pixel waterfall will appear to flow through the lobby and up into the guestroom courtyard, creating a shared experience between visitors and overnight guests.The hotel will be more than just a place to crash for the night. It will be an avant-garde rec room, a hip hang out, and ultimately a place of convergence for San Diegans and visitors alike.
