This project continues the active urban fabric past the barrier of I-95 in cooperation with new development plans for the Delaware River waterfront by layering commercial and event spaces to mix Philadelphians with a constant rotation of hotel and hostel visitors. The location provides ample walking access to public transit and many of the tourist amenities of the waterfront and historic district. The hotel is designed to allow a continuous visual connection—whether guests are in their rooms, the hallway, a communal space, or event space—to the Delaware River, Center City skyline, and the plaza space directly below.
