As part of a developer proposal, two sites fronting West Temple Street were analyzed for the convention hotel for the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City Utah. This proposed high density development would link directly with the existing center and provide an additional 63,000 sf of meeting and banquet space. To meet these programmatic goals the podium stacks four levels high, connected by escalators in an atrium visible from the street. The 717 guestrooms are stacked on 19 levels culminating in a roof-top pool. The facade was inspired by the variety and playfulness of falling snow flakes, and the podium by drifting snow.
