Post-pandemic expectations for premium brands will include hotel infrastructure that reduces pathogens, reassures guests of their health and wellness and improves the guest experience.

The Hotel del Coronado, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, is undergoing a complete re-imagining as part of a $400 million master plan. LEO A DALY's design includes the reimagining of the primary food and beverage promenade of the resort as well as a new residence building and conference center nestled into the iconic resort’s final parcel of developable land.

While one of our healthcare system clients was evaluating their service lines and how to best serve their patients, LEO A DALY was engaged to assist with relocating their Cardiac Cath program from one hospital to another hospital within their system. Similar relocations and expansions present specific challenges and the relocation of the Cardiac Cath Labs to a new facility allowed the users to revisit existing operations, suite configurations, and space needs. This project also presented a unique opportunity for the LEO A DALY planning team – the ability to use existing decommissioned procedure labs as mock-up space.

During time periods of great difficulty, there is almost always a rise in innovation. The pandemic has forced us to get creative, change our habits and in some instances, innovate. We all have many lessons learned from our pandemic time but here are design considerations we believe will be a part of our new normal.

As cities around the world grapple with a pandemic, climate change and social injustice, resilient design is more important than ever.

In a world where change is the only constant, the workplace requires a flexible, real time response to the needs of occupants.

Global Commercial Practice Leader Kristina Crawley, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, recently sat down with Washington, D.C., Market Sector Leader Dianne Oroz, Assoc. AIA, Assoc. IIDA, to discuss the accelerations of pre-COVID trends and the evolutions witnessed in office design and commercial development over the past year as well as the changes expected in these markets long-term.

COVID-19 has had widespread impacts on the commercial real estate industry, reducing cash flow and slowing new investment in hotel, retail, office, co-working and co-living. As the pandemic continues, large cities have seen a collapse in the activities that make urban life economically and socially vibrant. While the magnitude of the pandemic's long-term effects on cities remain to be seen, it is clear the way urban dwellers live, work, buy, sell, socialize and travel will be altered for many years to come.

LEO A DALY’s renovation of the corner suite at Claridge’s Hotel captures the dynamically rich history of the capital and showcases traditional British hospitality at its finest.

The pandemic has drastically shifted the operations of our nation’s hospitals and clinics, but so far many of the adjustments have been temporary. We will no doubt see a major shift in healthcare design as we learn from this past year and improve our methods. While the industry is exploring ways that we can best provide optimum flexibility for future construction and renovations, one thing stands out as a major priority — we need to support the caregivers who have sacrificed so much over the last year.
