"That was the owner's magic number for making the project work, and he
also wanted a minimum of 300 sq. ft. for each guest room," says Detiveaux.
"The narrow footprint of the building's top floors made that quite a challenge
for us, requiring extensive study of various guest room and corridor layout
configurations to provide efficient room length/width proportions that also
met building code egress requirements. Ultimately, we 'Tetris-ed' together
several unique room layouts that got us the required inventory."
That translated into 15 rooms on the second floor; 13 rooms per floor on
levels three through 10, and 12 per floor on the top two floors. However, the
second floor proved to be especially problematic. The designers found
themselves working with eight spaces on one side of that level that had no
windows-a definite no-no, since building codes require such dwelling
units to have natural light.
"Those eight rooms are located within part of a two-story addition to the
building from the 1950s that's on the property line, which made it impractical to
put windows in its exterior wall," explains Detiveaux. "Our solution to that
involved cutting in towering skylight openings for those rooms, which fulfilled
the code requirements while also creating a one-of-a-kind experience for guests."
Beyond addressing such logistical issues, the Gensler team worked to
create an interior environment that skillfully references the building's two
previous incarnations. That involved preserving several original elements
