Design and architecture firms that specialize in hospitality spaces are reexamining traveler preferences in order to weave trends into their project designs.
Linh Tran, director of architectural design at Dallas-based firm Premier, said the design trends he is most looking forward to in 2023 include an increase in public spaces, “especially for mixed-use hospitality developments.”
“Travelers and locals want an authentic connection to the natural environment, and we’ve seen an increased demand for community-style public spaces that help cultivate health and well-being in the built environment,” he said via email. “Architects and designers are reexamining public spaces as a result of the global pandemic and how people interact with outdoor environments. I’m excited for the opportunity to design master-planned communities that combine hospitality with outdoor spaces in urban spaces.”
