Shownotes

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Alejandro Guerrero, Design Director and Principal at Gensler in Dallas, Texas. They discuss the Miyako Hybrid Hotel in Plano, Texas.

You can see the project here as you listen along.

Nestled within a grove of trees and oriented toward a pond, the Miyako Hybrid Hotel in Plano positions itself as both refuge and social anchor within a rapidly evolving corporate landscape. Its proximity to Toyota North American Headquarters and the commercial district of Legacy West informs a program that caters equally to international business travelers and the surrounding community, offering a layered hospitality experience rooted in cultural exchange. Rising 13 stories high, the exterior is clad in a glass and metal unitized curtain wall, an opaque glazing that imitates stone.
