Team Resident; Practice Space
May 2014 - August 2014
A summer training program, located in Detroit, MI, that focused on creating a better neighborhood for the site location and surrounding areas. Working with Teresa Sanderfer to help bring her ideas to paper, a team of four worked throughout the summer to help her vision come to life. The end result can be found here.
​
Teresa had purchased a home in Detroit, MI across the street from the Motown Museum with the hopes of turning the building into a consignment shop. With the original ideas of purchasing a small building, Teresa quickly came to question how to fill the rest of the space.
​
By the end of the term, 2641 W. Grand Boulevard would become West Grand Inn. Modifying the typical Bed and Breakfast into a Bed and Bistro, West Grand Inn hoped to have a full scale restaurant and retail boutique. The retail concept for West Grand Inn centered around it being a B&B where everything was for sale spread throughout the rooms.
