Field and Safeco Field) and the business district made it ideal for tourists and business travelers. The Courtyard by Marriott brand seemed like a good fit for this mixed-use market and an ideal anchor for redevelopment. For D&D, the opportunity to work in the firm’s own backyard with a longtime client was not only convenient (how many
Courtyard by Marriott hotels when the Pioneer Square commission came along.

D&D had already completed seven spaces that require custom adaptation, according to Degen—was asked to design the space. The biggest hurdle was reconciling the Courtyard by Marriott brand specs—lowrise building, new or modern construction, consistent footprint—with a high-rise space that was neither new nor modern
and had a decidedly inconsistent footprint. Furthermore, midway through the renovation, Marriott introduced its “Refreshing Business” package, which meant D&D had to incorporate several high-tech touchpoints—modular front desk pods, a Courtyard GoBoard (a 52-in. digital concierge) and QuickPrint area for printing boarding passes—comfortably in the context of the turn-of-the-century architecture. The designers’ solution was to essentially “float” the interior within the historic shell and make the design local in flavor. In the public spaces, pieces are set off from the walls as much as possible; if they’re attached, there is a discrete reveal that separates the historic elements from the contemporary ones. Ceiling planes hover in the space and don’t touch exterior walls. As a result, Degen says, “Neither takes precedence over the other, but they support each other.”
