Curioso has restored and updated a 50-room lakeside hotel called The Harbor Grand New Buffalo, Michigan.

When lightning struck the roof of a beloved Lake Michigan hotel and gathering place, architecture studio Curioso moved quickly to support its clients and bring the beloved lakeside property back to life.

The challenge was an opportunity to reposition the property and create a new and evolved vision within a short 12-month timespan.

The hotel is rooted in warm, comforting hospitality – a foundation built upon to create a new level of experiences for guests including special moments of surprise and delight that harken to the original property but are delivered in a fresh, modern way.

This project has been longlisted in the hotel and short-stay interior category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
