The goal of this project was to capture the essence of Savannah, and transform it, creating something unique to the city, a reference point to the people that live there and the tourists that visit it every year.

Savannah is a city with history and character, and because of that it offers a lot of reference points for the people that live there. The parks, historic buildings and the river create these reference points that the people that live there use every day when they communicate or meet with each other. That is quite an interesting thing considering how important these landmarks are for the way that the people that visit Savannah or the people that live move around the city.

This project aims to offer a new reference point for the city. The different, futuristic looking design aims to be that modernizing element that makes this building a meeting spot for the common traveler.

The design is heavily influenced by the historic element of Savannah. The materiality is derived from the typical buildings of Savannah. The shape aims to emphasize the horizontality that is part of the architecture style of savannah not only in elevation but also in plan The building, is located at the end of a row full of infill houses, so it aims to offer an end of that row of buildings by creating a movement as if it hugs the building nearby with the intricate combination of bricks that create a giant "red wall."
