The Herring Group from Laredo had an interest in a site
downtown San Antonio on the river to create a new hotel to their chain , named
La Posada Marquesa.
The historic building had challenges that worked thru to
make a beautiful place , that Grace Rose Gonzales created while with another
firm. The funding for the hotel fell
thru for the Herring Group. The
presentation is shared to enjoy the possibilities of what older buildings can
be revitalized and reused. Grace PG Design has completed other adaptive use
projects that showcase their talent to bring life and vibrancy in the reuse of
buildings.
The directive from Mr.Herring was that the hotel have the feel of the Nat King Cole days. Renderings by artist Thom Ricks.
