A crisp and spacious lobby featuring polished marble floors and walls. Stylish circular light fixtures hang from the ceiling, reflecting off the glossy surfaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows on the left side let in natural light. A reception area with a dark counter is visible in the background.

A stylish and elegant bar area with a marble countertop and five cream-colored, high-backed bar stools. The bar features a wooden accent wall, a variety of spirits on gold shelves hanging from the ceiling, and various bar equipment. An elongated wooden bowl holding purple flowers and greenery sits in the center of the bar.

Rooftop pool area with clean, elegant design. Pool lounge seats are lined up on the left, facing the cascading water feature of the raised pool. Wooden cabanas are on the opposite side. High-rise buildings surround the area, with clear skies above. A railing descends from the right foreground.

The National

Inspired by mid-century motifs, The National incorporates modern luxuries with existing historical components of decades past.

The historical design of this existing 52-story tower and eight-story base element allows for the creation of a new hotel and retail development. The building includes a flagship Thompson Hotel with 218 rooms, 324 Class A multifamily units, 37,000 SF office space, and 43,000 SF retail space.

Deriving details from a well-tailored suit, the design utilizes a neutral color palette paired with masculine tones and angular lines. The National is the perfect mix of paying homage to the past while experiencing all the modern comforts this day and age offers.
