Exploring Inspiration Through Travel
Paul Patterson’s 2025 GOH Journey
At HBG Design, we believe that creativity thrives on new perspectives. That’s why our GOH Travel Scholarship exists: to give our designers the opportunity to explore the world, discover new ideas, and bring those lessons back to enrich our work and our clients’ experiences.
This year, we’re proud to feature the 2025 GOH Travel Winner, Paul Patterson, who serves as a graphic designer in HBG’s marketing department. Paul’s journey through Iceland and Norway became a study in contrasts—light and dark, ancient and modern, fire and ice. His presentation video captures the wonder, inspiration, and design insights he gained along the way.
“Travel far and wide and you shall possess the secrets of man.” – Old Norse Proverb
Why Iceland and Norway?
For Paul, the landscapes of Iceland and Norway held a lifelong fascination. Iceland, the “land of fire and ice,” first captured his imagination as a child when he and his sister created a play-dough map of its volcanoes for a school project. Norway’s inspiration built slowly—through Viking sagas, Norse mythology, art history, and the striking beauty of fjords.
Both countries embody what inspires Paul most:
- Dramatic natural beauty
- Deep cultural and historical roots
- Unique art and architecture
- Communities shaped by their environment
By visiting Iceland in winter and Norway in summer, Paul set out to explore extremes—darkness and endless light, remoteness and urban vibrancy, ancient traditions and modern design.
Observing Through the Lens of Design
As both a graphic designer and storyteller, Paul approached the trip with a keen eye for comparison and visual narrative. He describes design as “the balancing of likenesses and differences,” and travel, in many ways, mirrors this principle.
- Light and Dark: In Iceland, he witnessed how people embraced long, dim winters with resilience. In Norway, he saw cities come alive under endless daylight, where nature dictated the rhythm of life.
- Cities and Culture: Reykjavík felt intimate and proud, steeped in mythology and national identity. Oslo, more international and layered with European influence, blended classical and contemporary.
- Rural Spirit: Across both landscapes, he found rugged individualism—people living close to nature, working with what the land allowed, and creating beauty out of function.
- Nature’s Impact: Iceland’s otherworldly volcanic terrain and Norway’s fairy-tale fjords revealed the power of place to shape art, architecture, and human life.
Lessons Learned
Paul’s reflections reveal how deeply travel can inform design thinking and creative work:
- Planning is Designing: Just like in design projects, his trips required research, strategy, and flexibility.
- Collaboration Matters: Advice from friends, coworkers, and locals enriched his experience, reminding him that combined perspectives lead to better outcomes.
- Design From What’s Around You: Iceland, in particular, showed him how nature, history, and mythology seamlessly influence design—a principle he sees echoed in HBG’s work with tribal clients.
- Purpose is Key: From the National Gallery in Norway to rural architecture, he observed how meaning and function strengthen design’s impact over time.
- Multi-Use Design Inspires: The Oslo Opera House wasn’t just a performance venue—it was also an art space, a public plaza, and a viewpoint. This flexibility sparked ideas for creating designs that move fluidly across platforms and purposes.
- Marketing Lessons: Iceland’s ability to highlight and promote its best features—from landscapes to woolcraft—offered insights into storytelling and branding—something Paul sees as central to his role on HBG’s marketing team.
The Takeaway
Paul’s GOH Travel experience affirms what we believe at HBG: that the best design comes from observing, listening, and learning. Just as Iceland and Norway reflect their environments, our work is enriched when we draw inspiration from culture, history, and place.

Designing Nature-Inspired Luxury at Gun Lake Resort
Designing Nature-Inspired Luxury at Gun Lake Resort
Gun Lake Resort’s new hotel tower is more than an expansion—it’s a transformational destination for West Michigan and the greater Midwest. Rising prominently above Highway 131, the 15-story tower positions the resort as a premier super-regional draw for guests traveling from Chicago, Detroit, and beyond. With its blend of high-end accommodations, world-class amenities, and the one-of-a-kind Wawyé Oasis tropical atrium, the resort elevates the standard of hospitality in the region, offering guests an experience that rivals the nation’s top luxury destinations.
A Grounded Arrival: Biophilic Hospitality
The best hospitality spaces don’t just provide a service—they create experiences that linger long after checkout. At the new Gun Lake Resort Hotel Tower, HBG Design has reimagined the guest journey by blending biophilic principles with elevated luxury, crafting interiors that connect guests to nature while surrounding them with comfort and sophistication.
The interior concept was shaped by the natural rhythms and beauty of the region—dynamic summer sunsets, dappled light filtering through the trees, and serene views of Gun Lake. These elements became the design DNA for the tower’s interiors, translated into atmospheres of Dappled Light, Serene, and Radiance.
The journey begins in the soaring double-height lobby, where guests are welcomed by a vibrant living green wall—a vertical garden that breathes life into the reception experience. Expansive glazing frames the lush Wawyé Oasis atrium, filling the space with natural light and views of greenery. Together, these layered strategies set a calming tone, grounding guests the moment they arrive.
Material selections extend this connection to place: warm wood, natural stone, and metals that mirror Michigan’s rugged beauty. Radial ceiling treatments echo organic patterns, while daylighting establishes rhythm and flow. For HBG, biophilic hospitality design isn’t a trend—it’s a philosophy of guest wellbeing, ensuring each space resonates with a sense of balance and belonging.
Serene Wellness and Retreat
Below, the MnoYé Spa embraces Serene. Inspired by the soft glow of Gun Lake sunsets, its palettes of warm stone, tranquil colors, and layered textures create a restorative retreat. Flowing water features, hydrotherapy pools, and customizable lighting reinforce the sensory calm, allowing guests to feel both nurtured and renewed.
Guestrooms extend this atmosphere of serenity. Broad glass openings frame the surrounding landscape, while natural woods and layered fabrics echo the colors and textures of Michigan’s seasons. Here, biophilic design ensures that the restorative qualities of nature are never out of reach, even in the most private spaces.
The Pinnacle of Luxury: The Ogema Suite
At the summit, the Ogema Suite redefines modern luxury. Spanning more than 3,000 square feet across two levels, the suite delivers architectural drama with its soaring two-story glass wall framing panoramic views of the Michigan landscape. A sculptural floating stair, bespoke railings, and curated art add layers of sophistication, while fireplaces and a full-service bar create opportunities for both retreat and gathering.
Technology enhances this indulgence with seamless personalization—integrated automation of lighting, drapery, and climate, plus radiant floor heating for comfort in Michigan winters. Every detail, from crafted finishes to immersive views, reinforces the suite as the pinnacle of hospitality design.
Redefining Regional Hospitality
At Gun Lake Resort, luxury and biophilia converge. Rooted in the landscapes and skies of Michigan, the interiors balance restorative, nature-inspired design with the drama of high-end hospitality, giving guests spaces that are both grounding and unforgettable. From dappled light in the lobby, to sunset-inspired spa palettes, to the radiant vistas of the Ogema Suite, HBG Design has crafted an immersive experience that elevates regional hospitality and sets a new benchmark for connection, comfort, and design excellence.

Why It Matters
This award celebrates the power of collaboration in design. By uniting HBG’s hospitality expertise with Schumacher’s craftsmanship, the team created one-of-a-kind finishes that capture the spirit of place while meeting the demands of modern hospitality design.
Congratulations to our HBG team and our partners at Schumacher Hospitality for this exciting recognition!
HBG Design’s 2025 Summer Internship Experience
At HBG Design, we believe in giving the next generation of designers hands-on opportunities that mirror the real-world challenges our teams face every day. Each semester, our internship experience allows students to dive into a hospitality project simulation that takes them through every step of the design process—from early concept to design development—culminating in a final presentation to our staff. 
This summer, eight talented interns joined us across our Memphis, San Diego, and Dallas offices, representing architecture and interior design programs from universities nationwide. Together, they collaborated on a dynamic venue concept inspired by one of HBG Design’s real-world client projects: a rooftop dining destination.
The Project: From Concept to Reality
As part of their design exploration, the interns conducted population studies to understand the surrounding market. Their research revealed a strong demand for diverse dining options, particularly among a growing Asian population in the area. Leaning into this insight, the group developed an Asian-inspired restaurant concept with a Southern flair, drawing inspiration from the elegant Lotus Flower. 
Working as a fully integrated team, the interns advanced the project from conceptual design to the design development (DD) phase, experiencing firsthand the cross-disciplinary and cross-office collaboration that defines HBG Design. Guided by our senior architects and interior designers, they gained invaluable mentorship on how to build cohesive project packages, coordinate across disciplines, and bring a unified design vision to life.

Choosing a Hospitality Design Partner: 7 Questions to Ask
7 Questions Every Developer Should Ask When Choosing the Right Hospitality Design Partner
By HBG Design
In today’s competitive hospitality market, a hotel or resort’s design is more than a visual statement; it’s a strategic business decision that impacts guest satisfaction, operational performance, and return on investment for years to come.
At HBG Design, with offices in Memphis, Dallas, and San Diego, we’ve partnered with developers nationwide for over 45 years, delivering hotels and resorts that not only look exceptional but also perform at the highest level. Here are seven critical questions every hospitality developer should ask when choosing an architecture and interior design firm—and how HBG answers the call.
-
Do they understand my property type and brand standards?
From vertical prototypes for Holiday Inn to flagship resorts for Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott, HBG has deep experience across every hospitality segment. Our designers know how to navigate brand approval processes and ensure your property meets—and exceeds—brand expectations.
-
Can they create a design that both ‘wows’ guests and aligns with operational needs?
We blend creativity with operational insight, designing spaces that are as efficient as they are beautiful. Guestrooms, F&B venues, event spaces, spas, and back-of-house areas are all planned with functionality, durability, and long-term maintenance in mind.
-
Will they design for strong ROI?
Every design choice we make considers your bottom line—from optimizing revenue-generating spaces to enhancing guest flow. Our projects are strategically designed to attract repeat business and improve operational efficiency, resulting in better performance metrics for owners.
-
Do they have a proven, collaborative process?
Our workshop-driven design method engages owners, operators, and brand stakeholders early, accelerating decisions and reducing costly changes later. It’s been so effective that one of the world’s largest and most recognized hospitality brands formally adopted our workshop process into their own internal development standards—bringing HBG’s approach to hundreds of projects across their portfolio.
-
Can they deliver on time and within budget?
HBG’s integrated architecture and interior design teams streamline coordination, minimize delays, and maintain budget discipline without compromising quality—key to hitting your opening date and financial targets.
-
Are they forward-thinking and trend-aware?
We stay ahead of evolving guest expectations by incorporating wellness, sustainability, technology integration, and regional influences into each project. Our goal: to keep your property competitive for the next decade and beyond.
-
Will they be a long-term partner, not just a vendor?
With decades-long relationships in the industry, HBG is more than a service provider—we’re a strategic ally committed to your success from concept to opening, and beyond.
The Bottom Line:
Choosing the right hospitality design partner is more than selecting a talented architect or interior designer; it’s about finding a team that understands your market, your brand, and your business objectives. At HBG Design, we’ve built our reputation on delivering hospitality environments that are guest-focused, brand-aligned, operationally sound, and financially successful.
If you’re ready to transform your next project from vision to value, HBG Design is ready to help you lead the market.
HBGathers Ends Summer in San Diego
At HBG Design, we believe great design begins with great relationships—and that includes the connections we nurture within our own team. This summer, we brought our firm-wide culture of creativity and camaraderie to life with our HBGathers summer event series, celebrating our teams across offices in Memphis, Dallas, and—most recently—San Diego.
Our final event of the season took place at the stunning Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station, a local favorite in San Diego known for its expansive outdoor spaces, lush gardens, and bold craft brews. With its laid-back, inviting atmosphere, the venue perfectly captured the essence of our Southern California studio and the vibrant energy they bring to HBG’s collaborative culture.
A Taste of Southern California
The San Diego team embraced local flavors with a traditional taco bar featuring pollo asada, carnitas, and carne asada, topped off with fresh churros and chocolate sauce for dessert. And in true craft beer fashion, the Hazy IPA was the standout sip of the night.
Playful Energy, Meaningful Connections
The event was more than just great food and brews—it was an opportunity to step away from the workday and engage with teammates and their families. With bocce ball, cornhole, giant Jenga, and Connect 4, the casual outdoor setting sparked plenty of friendly competition, laughter, and storytelling. One of the most memorable parts of the evening? Seeing colleagues' kids jump in to play alongside the adults—a joyful reminder of the family-friendly spirit that drives our workplace culture.
Culture Beyond the Studio
The San Diego HBGathers event capped off a series of unforgettable summer gatherings, following events in Memphis at the iconic Levitt Shell and in Dallas at Chicken N Pickle. While each celebration reflected the personality of its location, all shared one common thread: connection. At HBG, we make space to celebrate our people—not just as designers, architects, and visionaries—but as teammates, friends, and family.
Why It Matters
For our clients and future team members, HBGathers is more than just a summer party series—it’s a reflection of how we work. We foster collaboration and creativity not only within our studios, but across offices and disciplines. These events serve as a powerful reminder of what drives our design process: trust, communication, and a culture that values both professional excellence and personal connection.
As we continue to grow and take on new, exciting projects across the country, we remain grounded in what makes us strong: a connected team fueled by shared experiences and authentic relationships.
We’re already looking forward to the next season of HBGathers. Until then—cheers from San Diego!

VisuArch Spotlight: From Vision to Reality
VisuArch “Realize” Winner Spotlight: Nathan Blair & Kalyn Johnson Bring a Vision to Life at Gun Lake Casino Resort
At HBG Design, we know that unforgettable design experiences are only made possible through seamless collaboration—and that collaboration begins the moment ideas take shape. That’s the philosophy behind our Design+ team’s annual VisuArch Awards, a firmwide celebration of innovation, creativity, and design storytelling.
Created by the Design+ team, the VisuArch Awards invite all HBG employees—across disciplines and studios—to submit design moments they’re proud of. Whether the work highlights concept development, design visualization, or technical execution, VisuArch is about sharing the “how” behind the “wow” and elevating the creative energy that drives our projects forward.
What is the “Realize” Award?
The “Realize” category of VisuArch celebrates how a compelling design idea is translated into a fully executed element—beautiful, buildable, and true to its original intent. From initial sketches to field coordination, this award recognizes the behind-the-scenes work that ensures the integrity of a design vision through to final installation.
This year’s “Realize” winners, Nathan Blair, Associate and Project Architect from our San Diego studio, and Kalyn Johnson, Associate and Lead Interior Designer from our Memphis studio, were honored for their intricate detailing and seamless coordination on one of the most striking features of the new Gun Lake Casino Resort expansion in Wayland, Michigan: the floating monumental stair inside the luxurious two-story Ogema Suite.
From Vision to Detail: The Floating Staircase
The Ogema Suite at the new Gun Lake Resort is a high-end, two-level hospitality destination, and its floating sculptural staircase serves as both a dramatic focal point and a symbol of luxury design. Nathan and Kalyn’s integrated solution delivered not only visual impact, but also technical precision.
Their detailing brought to life a concept that includes:
- A concealed steel riser and landing system for a clean, floating appearance
- Custom-designed railing and refined hardwood finishes
- Thoughtful integration into the suite’s layout, maintaining a modern, open feel
What appears effortless was the result of intense coordination, precision modeling, and a shared design vision across disciplines.
Why It Matters: The Power of Integrated Collaboration
At HBG Design, we believe our strongest work happens when architecture and interior design collaborate from the very beginning. Our integrated studio model enables this kind of cross-office synergy—and Nathan and Kalyn’s work is a shining example.
Despite working from two different studios—Nathan in San Diego and Kalyn in Memphis—the duo exemplified the HBG culture of open communication, creative trust, and shared ownership. They tackled challenges such as:
- Aligning aesthetic goals with structural and fabrication constraints
- Crafting clear, coordinated documentation to guide a complex custom build
- Preserving the integrity of the design narrative from concept through construction
Their achievement is more than just a beautifully executed staircase. It’s an experience that hotel guests will touch, walk on, and remember—exactly the kind of detail that turns a suite into a signature destination.
Celebrating Our Designers Firmwide
The VisuArch Awards are part of HBG Design’s broader commitment to celebrating the ingenuity and craftsmanship that define our culture. From concept to creation, the awards are an opportunity for team members to share ideas, inspire one another, and highlight the diverse creative talents across our firm.
Congratulations to Nathan Blair and Kalyn Johnson on winning the 2025 VisuArch “Realize” Award—and for bringing to life a bold design statement that reflects the very best of what HBG stands for: innovation, technical excellence, and integrated creativity.
