Our studio developed a comprehensive artwork program for the renovation of all 485 guest suites and public areas at the Hilton Palacio del Rio. Inspired by the network of San Antonio's River Walk, we designed and oversaw the fabrication of 485 hand-woven seagrass wall sculptures. The compositions abstract the riverwalk's interconnected pathways into rhythmic woven forms, bringing texture, warmth, and a subtle sense of place to each guestroom. Complementing the woven works, we developed a series of layered laser-cut artworks featuring arch forms inspired by the hotel's architecture, each finished with a custom backing informed by the colours, textures, and material palette of the interior finishes.

For the signature suites, we created a collection of site-specific artworks alongside curated ceramics and sculptural objects that reflect the character and visual language of San Antonio, extending the sense of place throughout the guest experience.

In the public areas, our studio developed a collection of custom artworks and sculptures inspired by the Palacio's architecture and surrounding context. Spanning canvas, ceramic, plaster, and wood, the collection explores geometric abstraction and layered compositions through a warm, earth-driven palette that references both the building's distinctive forms and the textures of the surrounding landscape. Together, the works create a cohesive dialogue between art, design, and place, adding warmth, texture, and character throughout the hotel.
