THE SCRIPT Revitalize an early 1900s landmark. Resurrect
the building's historic grandeur. Deliver the brand's mission
of storytelling and authenticity. Highlight the charm and
character of the waterfront neighborhood.
THE SHOOT

Situated on a formerly dilapidated pier that

extends 500 ft. into the city's namesake harbor, the 1914 Beaux
Arts building reflects the spirit of the multifaceted community,
layering references to early American history, industrial prosperity, waterfront lifestyle and Baltimore's horse-racing roots
as part of the Triple Crown. The entry showcases lyrics to "The
Star-Spangled Banner" laser cut in steel. Inside the whiskey bar
and on the pool deck, cannons unearthed during construction
serve as another nod to the area's relationship to Fort McHenry.
Rivet-lined steel beams are juxtaposed with luxe furnishings,
representing the city's manufacturing past while imbuing a
feel of gritty luxury. Layers of screens add a sense of curiosity.
A massive horse sculpture by Colombian figurative artist and
sculptor Fernando Botero recalls the city's equestrian heritage
in the central courtyard.
THE DIRECTOR'S CUT One of the property's most striking
aspects became the designer's number one challenge. With
a majority of the hotel set over the harbor and surrounded
by water on three sides, the design team had to carefully
plan the rehabilitation and construction phases to ensure a
smooth execution.
THE TRAILER Keep the concept close to home. Paying
tribute to the waterfront location, guest rooms reminiscent
of a stately ship's cabin showcase nautical-inspired elements
of brass and mahogany wood, as well as area rugs that reference a photograph of a rusted ship's hull.

THE SCRIPT Capture the essence of the natural environment, Japanese culture and the
brand's ultra-luxe ethos. Pay tribute to the hotel's noteworthy and serene location. Channel the
changing seasons into scenes that provide a variable ambiance. Embrace local craftsmanship.

- Shrine and a protected
THE SHOOT Nestled between the culturally significant Imahie Jingu
ikeniwa pond, the property has been designed to frame its dramatic surroundings. Conceptualized as floating pavilions, the guest elevators create the illusion of traversing into different
seasons and are decked out with mirrors to reflect the expansive view of the 800-year-old pond.
A lobby staircase marries contemporary architectural lines with
traditional craftsmanship. Washi paper partitions by local artisan Eriko Horiki contrast
with the element's modern form and lend an ambient atmosphere to the space through the
textures and shadows produced by the light that filters through the material.
THE HIGHLIGHT REEL

THE TRAILER Be respectful. Ballroom walls are adorned with locally sourced tapestries
and artwork that references the country's delicate bamboo leaves, while the ceilings feature
lattice patterns that incorporate references to such Japanese spiritual values as the prosperity of descendants, protection from the devil and prayers for health. -Christina Green
