From Miro storyboard to bayside atelier
Houston Side A demanded more than a quick refresh—it needed a signature story that guests could step into. Jule anchored the concept in Lisboa's warm minimalism while keeping the playful "Welcome to Bilbao" wink alive in the hallway niche.
Because the install team is remote, every slide inside Miro doubles as an instruction manual: bulb SKUs, textile layers, gallery spacing, and even the cleaners’ chalkboard cues are annotated so anyone on-site can execute without phone calls.
The result is a hospitality playbook that shows owners how thoughtful design thinking pairs with frictionless operations.

Designer interview excerpts
What feeling did you want the hallway reveal to create?
There is this recessed niche with perfect spotlights—once I saw it, I knew it had to be an interactive welcome moment. The chalkboard lets cleaners personalize each stay, and the lighting makes it feel like an art piece.
How do you manage a remote install?
Everything lives inside Miro with labels for how many of each item, which bulbs, and even how the bathroom art should be spaced. The idea is that anyone can execute without me physically there.
What operational wins came from this design?
Standardizing bulbs, documenting replacement cycles, and thinking through maintenance up front keeps the property out of "panic" mode once it opens.
— Jule, Lead Interior Designer
