The entry experience
at South Pier includes
driving in on pavement
embedded with sea
glass and seashells.
Helping separate the
resort from the street
is the man-made pond
in the foreground.

Helping reinforce that ocean-front feel was
DDC's decision early on to configure Pier South as
two arc-shaped buildings that curve toward the
coastline, with the exterior walls of each 650-sq.-ft.
suite offset slightly to create a fan-shaped effect. "We
wanted something that was in tune with its natural
habitat, with a curved shape rather than a box
design to infer waves and wind," Darrall explains.
References to the ocean are evident from the point
of arrival, where cast paved surfaces are embedded
with sea glass and seashells. Helping screen the hotel
from the street are a falling-water feature at the entry
porte cochere and an adjoining pond.
In the lobby, cast terrazzo flooring in soft white,
beige and seafoam evokes water and sand. Overhead,
three individually stepped and illuminated arc-shaped
soffits add visual impact with a swirl effect, while a
school of abstract ceiling-hung white fish forms "swim"
toward the glass elevator and the ocean beyond. Two
waterwalls flowing into a basin frame the elevator.

ings, borrowing shapes from coral and kelp formations, colors from the sea and sky-including soft
aqua, azure, and salmon-and textures from nature
such as white weaves with an organic, retro flair.
Lobster traps inspired the ribbed construction of
the illuminated glass-topped reception and
concierge desks. The ribbed wood Life Raft bench by
David Trubridge and two ribbed maple Cappellini
chairs designed by Mark Newson, which serve as
functional art, echo the desks' design. A floor-toceiling floating labyrinth sculpture behind the reception area emulates underwater reflections-a visual
effect that plays over the illuminated columns as
well. At the accent walls, Canlis Glass created
abstract fish forms that assist in creating additional
spatial flow throughout the space.
The hotel's coastal ambience continues in the
guest rooms, which are configured as either openspace studios or suites with separate seating and
sleeping zones. The rooms follow the buildings' arc
shape, widening as guests move toward the

balcony. DDC carries through the casual beach
elegance of the public spaces with natural maple
and zebrawood finishes in horizontal patterns
accented by frosted-glass tops and hardware.
Some of the oceanic references in the guest
rooms are subtle-sand-colored carpeting with a
delicate wave pattern and decorative lamps that
evoke a sail image-while others are splashy-for
example, large-format gicléed digital artwork
depicting coastal tributary patterns, shells and fish.
The bathrooms are modern and bright, with
white glass tile walls and floors, white castconcrete sinks embedded with sea glass and
seashell fragments, seafoam-colored glass accent
walls and an all-glass shower enclosure.
Clear glass balustrades on each balcony allow uninterrupted views to the ocean. Vertical sheets of edge-lit
ribbed glass offer privacy between balconies while
enabling natural light to filter through.
In addition to the requisite pool, spa, and
conference rooms, the hotel is home to Sea180˚, a
