Cypress Shoji

Cypress Shoji is a fictitious 5-star hotel brand that emphasizes the beauty in traditional, quality hospitality. I often feel that no matter the resort or hotel there is a certain style that is consistently associated with it. With Cypress Shoji I wanted to push against that and expand into other cultures.

This is meant to pay homage to the Eastern Asian style, specifically more Japanese design. There is so much beauty in other non-western design & I love exploring the different possibilities.

Collaboration

Also a huge shout out to Adam Wold who collaborated with me by creating all of the 3D renders of the location. In my original illustrations, I didn’t have a ramp that he included in the renders for accessibility & inclusivity.

I wanted the location itself to be much more reliant on sunlight so people who are traveling can become attuned to there circadian rhythm more ensuring a pleasant stay.
