""The challenges in taking a landmarked former bank-and later municipal building-and transforming it into a full-service hotel experience were evident from the start. But rather than be daunted by the task, we saw it as an amazing opportunity for creative design interventions that united historic and new in a very holistic fashion.""
""What they uncovered was not only accentuated, but also served as inspiration for the non-structural changes that followed.""
The Municipal Grand Hotel in Savannah is a transformation of the historic First Federal Savings & Loan Association Building. Designed by AAmp Studio, the project emphasizes the building's textural complexity by revealing and enhancing existing materials. The design approach involved integrating modern finishes and curvilinear elements while respecting the original architecture. This method exemplifies a successful blend of historic preservation and contemporary design, showcasing the potential for creative interventions in landmarked structures.
