From the heart of Washington, D.C.’s rising NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue NE) neighborhood comes this new-build13-story, 438-unit multi-family high-rise. The space brings the design strengths of hospitality to the quickly evolving multi-family industry with an elevated lifestyle in mind.
The interiors pay homage to the neighborhood’s Irish-industrial “Swampoodle” roots, with unique moments found around every corner. Special features include exposed steel garage doors, hanging mailboxes, a vintage boiler fireplace, and tricked-out lounge amenities. The custom design promotes creativity and communal living, a coveted trait for millennials who prefer city life over the suburbs.
20,000 SF of amenity space also attracts the demographic, catering to the entrepreneurship, behavior, and social appetite of its tenants. Individual and cooperative teched-out workspaces provide ample opportunities for both business and socialization, a work-life balance only further supported by lifestyle spaces, such as the on-site dog park and yoga room. The rooftop boasts an indoor-outdoor lounge with infinity pool — a perfect place for residents to host events, relax, and take in the grand views of the Capitol and Washington Monument.

Content:
Downtown Phoenix, home to the growing Luhrs City Center, welcomed a new high-rise to its city skyline. The dual-branded Residence Inn & Courtyard by Marriott stands alongside the historic Luhrs Tower. Customized interiors, this 19-story, 320-room hotel features 21 different room types and various public spaces with modern amenities and a boutique aesthetic.
The vision of “New Pioneer” became the driving force for the hotel’s dual-branded, like-minded look. The Luhrs family led a legacy of inventive, forward-thinking design. Channeling their spirit, the Phoenix Marriott was developed with a fresh, modern twist. As the two brands deviate, key design elements draw from the surrounding landscape: sun-bleached wood tones, exposed concrete, crackled textures, gemstone accents and sand-like waves. The public spaces, including the Lobby, Lounge, Hearthroom, Meeting Rooms, and Pool, introduce a rich color palette informed by the desert skyline.
Discovery, adventure and forward-thinking motion find unique footholds in the Residence Inn and Courtyard guestrooms, taking the form of “Desert Dusk” and “Serape Revival,” respectively. The 200-Residence Inn guestrooms are branded by “Desert Dusk,” a design encompassing deep gemstone hues of burgundy and blue, complimented by sturdy textures and brass accents for a comfortable, yet elegant feel. “Serape Revival” in the 120-Courtyard guestrooms speaks with a more youthful energy. It incorporates satin nickel metals, bright hues and crackled textures to mirror the desert at sunset. Historic photos and sketches mix with art prints throughout the property, drawing a line between the Luhrs family civic leadership and the union of past and present. - D&D Services: Interior Design

This all-season resort caters to anglers and adventurers with authentic Montana luxury. Situated on more than a mile of Yellowstone riverfront and only 30 miles from the Roosevelt Arch at Yellowstone National Park, Sage Lodge is a base camp for a luxury retreat.
This rural resort has 50 rustic-refined guestrooms, including a 34-room lodge and four stand-alone ranch houses. Other amenities include a casual dining and bar with an exhibition kitchen, a stand-alone steakhouse, a versatile Event Barn for private meetings or special occasions, fitness center with an outdoor workout space and a luxury spa. Designed to capture the awe of the environs, these spaces are strategically sited for the best views whether enjoying a craft cocktail at the bar, resting in the poolside relaxation room or spinning in the rustic cabin styled gym.
Sage Lodge is owned by Joshua Green Corporation which also owns Far Bank Enterprises, manufacturer of premiere fly-fishing gear under the Sage brand.
Our team sought to capture the ethos of Sage Rods: “Perfecting Performance, Innovation and emphasis on design and function.” This guiding principle along with the goal of a truly authentic Montana experience meant walking the line between rustic and contemporary - honest materials, sustainability and locally sourced goods and art as well as tactful touches. Rugged materials were elegantly finished - leathered granites, solid wood floor planks and custom fabricated steel accents.
We not only designed for the aesthetics of the lodge but how it would be used and enjoyed by its guest year-round and long into the future. This led to thoughtful design touches such as a complimentary and fully stocked fly-tying table in the hospitality nook, a Hatch Board in the Lobby and plenty of functional storage in the guestrooms from wet gear to snow gear. - D&D Services: Interior Design

The River Terrace Inn settled along the Napa River in Napa, California expanded, introducing fresh new features.

The work was completed by Degen & Degen and corresponded with a complete face-lift and redesign of the lobby, restaurant, and bar areas.
The new guestrooms, influenced by their home within California’s Wine Country, embody the rugged, somewhat untamed Western frontier that can still be found throughout the valley. This, balanced with the romantic essence of the Napa River, brings about a feeling of luxury in a gender balanced mélange of soft and rough, industrial and ethereal. It presents as modern, yet timeless. Each room features an oversized artwork, digitally printed on a canvas-like textured wallcovering and hung floor to ceiling. These grand focal points are richly trimmed with wide wood molding, the overall effect being one of eclectic, textural layering and a buzz of grandeur.
The guest baths, carefully laid out to maximize a feeling of space and lavishness, feature walk-in showers, custom double vanities, and deck-mounted soaking tubs. Functioning wood shutters allow bathers an uninterrupted view of the river while the bedroom’s electric fireplaces and oversized, overstuffed lounge furniture encourage in-room comfort.
With an immersive experience and its Napa Valley roots in mind, the vision of River Terrace Inn’s expansion comes to life in all aspects of the suites — regardless of one’s location within the room, there is unlimited opportunity to relax and enjoy the landscape as the sun rises and sets over the Napa River. - D&D Services: Interior Design

Set in the famed Bowery neighborhood, which connects to the heart and pulse of New York life, Avalon Bowery Place is a residential experience that celebrates the connection while providing a luxe backdrop of perfect appointment. This facelift nods to the neighborhood with an artistic aesthetic but offers a chic and gracious setting for the modern New Yorker. All at once refined, stylish, savvy and fashionable.
The arrival experience and lobby were enlivened with cleverly appointed details focused on Resident’s experience - meet up at the caucus table under the art light installation, chill in the built-in seating nook with warm and stylish materials.
We also elevated the resident’s lounge and co-working spaces, reimagined the rooftop chill and entertainment areas and expanded and upgraded the fitness center. - D&D Services: Architecture and Interior Design

Degen & Degen is the designer on the conversion and addition of the historic El Prado hotel of Santa Barbara. As one of the only examples of the mid-century modern style in the City, El Prado is noted for the characteristic “car related architecture”, distinctive canted balconies, pierced concrete screens and period signage.
For D&D, finding the overlap between the core sensibilities of the modern movement and the brand voice of Courtyard by Marriott was as simple and natural as “form follows function”. Mixed materials that are man-made & natural with artisan driven detailing work to transform this mid-century, motor inn into Marriott’s classically modern brand for the passionate traveler.
With Optimism as our muse, we carefully tended to the principals of the brand while remaining historically faithful to the character of this unique property. Design emphasis was on clean backdrops punctuated by bold, sunny hues; simple shapes & retro-inspired statement pieces; open, airy space planning emphasizing practical simplicity, and future-focused amenities & technology. - D&D Services: Interior Design
