Full Design
Shelter Hotel
A half-century old, 50 key boutique hotel sought to activate the roof with a bar lounge

The Situation
Building officials couldn't figure out how a 4-story hotel could exist within 3-story code limits, let alone allow a rooftop occupancy. There was a possibility that the City would disallow 25% of the rooms to be used or chopped off.
What We Did
We analyzed historical documents and proposed an interpretation of how the original architect must have cleverly proposed his design.
The Outcome
Building officials approved this allowance and therefore the rooftop lounge design.
"Jerome and the whole team at Coda Spaces is excellent. They get through the very difficult red-tape of different cities with creative and efficient solutions. They are both design and budget-oriented, which is super helpful for both large and small projects."
