DALLAS – FORT WORTH PAPERCITY DESIGN AWARDS BECCA LEA PROJECT The Madison Hotel FIRM Fonde Interiors LEAD DESIGNER Jen Stevens ADDITIONAL RECOGNITION David Vera, Elyse Build; AJ Ramler, Proxy Properties, developer; Tennant Street Studio, landscape design; Alicia Quintans, architect JUDGES' REMARKS "The Madison Hotel is a masterclass in architectural storytelling, where preservation isn't just about what's saved, but what's reimagined. The narrow corridors remain, allowing guests to move through the space in the same cadence as its earliest inhabitants. The interiors are rich with mood and memory. Saturated hues — oxblood, ochre, chestnut — create a palette that feels both historic and cinematic." — Drew Davis "Resonant woodwork and paneled ceilings, ribbed glass, historic tile, and quirky lighting, brass details, an aubergine channel-tufted banquette and monkey wallpaper make this hotel conversion a con- versation starter." — Tim Barber "Boutique hotels tend to exude their own character and soul, and this project captures that spirit perfectly." — Joel Solomon HONORABLE MENTION Kellie Sirna, Greer May, Scot Rampley, Studio 11 Design, for The Talbott, Autograph Collection HISTORICAL RESTORATION/ PRESERVATION Commercial 92
