The Kubala Washatko Architects (TKWA) engaged the site planning and landscape architecture team of raSmith. The client and architect also worked with raSmith for structural design, which included the challenge of adding a concealed seventh story addition to the historic structure. The rooftop was designed to include vibrant garden areas, an outdoor pizza oven and a bar, all with breathtaking views of the Mississippi River, downtown La Crosse and Riverside Park.

The site area was limited on space around the hotel鈥檚 perimeter. Pedestrian circulation around a seasonal outdoor dining area as well as a valet/drop off area and a paver 鈥渆ntry rug鈥� were designed using 300-year-old pavers and curbing from Belgium, adding to the historic charm of an already unique destination.
