Inside the Steveston Waterfront Hotel Design
Reflecting back on a past project that was a bit more boutique and personalized, I’m excited to share the story behind my role in the Steveston Waterfront Hotel in Richmond, BC. This project was a unique opportunity to honour the region’s rich maritime heritage while infusing a modern, boutique design approach - creating a space that feels both rooted in history and comfortably contemporary.
Honoring Steveston's Maritime Heritage
Steveston, a quaint seaside village, is renowned for its historic charm and vibrant fishing community. Our design aimed to capture this essence by incorporating coastal colors and natural materials that evoke the waterfront setting. Soft blues, reminiscent of the ocean, were woven throughout the interiors, while reclaimed wood elements paid homage to the area's shipbuilding history.
Boutique Touches: Elevating the Experience
To create a modern yet warm atmosphere, we introduced elements like painted applied wall paneling and faux wood beams, which provided a nod to the area’s shipbuilding history while maintaining a refined and elevated look. As with any hotel design, we focused on ensuring that every space, especially the bathrooms, felt luxurious while being functional. We kept a clean, streamlined design, using sleek fixtures and plenty of thoughtful details. These thoughtful touches added texture and depth throughout the hotel, making the space feel both polished and uniquely tied to its surroundings.

A Hotel That Feels Like Home
At the Steveston Waterfront Hotel, the goal was to create a space that guests would instantly feel at home in - a space that blends the local culture and natural beauty with high-end design elements that elevate the guest experience. By integrating nods to the region's fishing heritage with a modern, boutique design aesthetic, this hotel reflects the true spirit of Steveston, while offering a comfortable and refined retreat for visitors.
