The Tommie Austin, a JdV by Hyatt hotel, is slated to open in the Texas capital this summer, along with the adjacent Thompson Austin as part of an upcoming mixed-use project. A sincere reinterpretation of the lifestyle hotel experience, Tommie Austin will serve the modern traveler with simple, on-site essentials while inspiring visitors to explore the city. Studio Collective designs the boutique concept to evoke a unique, autonomous visual identity influenced by the colors and materials of West Texas – from the artwork of Donald Judd to the classy aesthetics of Marfa.
“We wanted to incorporate these regional, ecological and artistic revelations into our own work in order to create a strong sense of the place,” says Christian Schulz, partner and designer at Studio Collective. “We also looked at some of the local items and handicrafts for our regionally inspired palette; Inspired by local Native American patterns and textures that allowed our design to celebrate some of the vibrant cultural expressions of the region through modern applications. ”
Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a mural curated by Tom Jean Webb, reflecting the southwestern ethos of design. A hip café and wine bar, Coffee Co, will also serve as an important social hub in the lobby. Located on the fourth floor, the pool deck and outdoor function rooms will reflect the influence of the region’s biodiversity through the layering of local vegetation with unique fire and water elements.
The 193 rooms with king-size beds will embody flexibility and convey a feel that is reminiscent of Lone Star landscapes. Bold geometric patterns will further reflect the influence of nature, along with six panoramic images captured by local photographer Kenny Braun that are affixed over the headboards. “We wanted the rooms to feel functional and full of character,” adds Roosevelt Gulino, senior designer at Studio Collective and head of project design at Tommie Austin. “Comfortable and haptic furnishings as well as gently patinated surface elements ensure a timeless ambience with a touch of creativity. Ultimately, the Tommie will offer guests many unforgettable touchpoints through a “handmade modern” experience that will make them feel relaxed and inspired. “
