奥斯汀ARRIVE酒店位于一座五层高的L型塔楼内，共设有83间客房，与之毗邻的双层裙楼包含两间餐厅、三间酒吧、一间咖啡厅以及可出租的街边零售区和停车场。客户提出的要求是对酒店的既定模式提出挑战，改变传统的巨大入口、酒店餐厅和总是空荡荡的大堂。他们希望创造一个充满活力的酒店，建立一个超越品牌的精致而又充满力量感的焦点，并使其与奥斯汀市中心以东发展迅速的Saltillo广场区域融为一体。

The ARRIVE Austin hotel comprises eighty-three rooms situated within a five-story, L-shaped tower and adjoining two-story podium which houses two restaurants, three bars, a coffee shop, leasable street-side retail space and parking. The brief from the owners was to question established hotel tropes—the grand entry, the hotel restaurant, and the always-empty lobby. Rather, they asked for a dynamic hotel that eschewed brand and established a subtly powerful focal point that knits into the rapidly developing Plaza Saltillo neighborhood, located just east of downtown Austin.

在设计过程中，设计团队对酒店所在的环境、历史和适宜性进行了探讨，并参考了周围1920年代仓库的建筑和材料类型，以及Huston Tillotson大学的砖石和混凝土结构。由此产生的设计将建筑的品质放在首要地位，在尊重地理位置的同时也为西面预算较低的设计策略提供了新的方向。

Grappling with context, history, and appropriateness, the design looked to the building and material typologies of the surrounding 1920s-era warehouses, as well as the masonry and concrete construction found at Huston Tillotson University (a historically Black university that overlooks the property). The resulting design prioritizes a high-quality building that honors its location and serves as a redirection for the cheaper design strategies to the west.
