San Morello at Shinola Hotel, Detroit, USA

Set within the debut hotel project from luxury goods brand Shinola, San Morello’s combination of natural light, “exquisite FF&E” and “incredible project coordination,” was a hit with judges, who further praised the space’s ability to function equally well day or night. Designed by Gachot Studios, the all-day Italian restaurant is defined by its large store-front window, and the vibrant catalogue of patterns and textures on show.
