Moored in the historic heart of Portland, Maine, this independent hotel embodies the festival street on which it is located. The corner is celebrated with architectural fins which provide shading and a bold statement. The context is surrounding historic treasures including City Hall and the performing arts center across the street and the historic Press Hotel kitty corner. Brick detailing and punched openings mark the main façades relating to the datum lines of the surrounding context. Nine condominiums top the building in two levels of residences with extensive terraces.
