North Shore Residence Inn


It is Friday and we are sticking to our New Year's resolution of blogging on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Here is another hotel Nicholas Renard developed while at Architectural Alliance in Columbus, Ohio.  North Shore Residence Inn sits directly across form the home plate entrance to PNC Park in Pittsburgh, PA.  The 10 story hotel has 180 suites is owned by Kratsa Properties

Mr. Renard designed and managed this project up until the time he left Columbus for Florida, at that time the project was in the Construction Document phase.  The owner wanted the hotel to sit as a backdrop to the architecture of PNC Park.  The project went through several design iterations before finally settling on this traditionally influenced design with contemporary touches.  The materials and design details take inspiration from other buildings in the Northshore area.
