We’re humbled to have been nominated alongside such incredible designers and talent, and we’re honored to be a part of NEWH, an organization that champions education and students. Although we love receiving awards, it is not why we do what we do. We do it because of the people we design for! Thank you for supporting our team! Take a look at the projects we submitted to be considered for this award: ## [American House Oak Park](https://bankodesign.com/portfolio/american-house-oak-park) ![Senior living dining room at American House Oak Park with two brass candelabra chandeliers and plaid chairs at wood tables](https://bankodesign.com/_astro/american-house-oak-park-dining-room.Ch2h932b_27JXra.webp) American House Oak Park is a new construction Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care senior living community in Illinois. The project includes seven levels with approximately 67,000 square feet of amenity space and 172 resident units. The property boasts five dining outlets, including three formal dining venues, bistro, and bar. The Interior Design is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s signature Prairie-Style Architecture, whose genesis is found in Oak Park. The custom bar features ebony wood tones with gold accents punctuating the contemporary details of the millwork. Black and white mosaic tile flooring is coupled with white stone and brass metal accents that elevate the experience and nod to period that informs the design. Simplistic yet sophisticated, the furniture features strong yet refined lines and is dressed in warm vinyl and menswear-inspired plaids. Banko Design provided full Interior Design and Procurement services for this project, which will open late 2022. ## Worldmark St. George ![Resort guest room with a black spindle headboard and white bedding against a burnt orange wall, a teal and orange abstract](https://bankodesign.com/_astro/worldmark-st-george-guest-room.dLNo5yod_16t3yS.webp) The St. George Vacation Resort completed a full renovation of its Typical, Penthouse, and Presidential units including casegoods, softgoods, and cabinets. The interior design was inspired by the thrill-seeking guest of the resort through its bright color scheme that couples rich earth tones with turquoise. The furniture features modern silhouettes with subtle accents of rope textures, geometric patterns, and smooth metals. Banko Design provided full Interior Design Services for the renovation, which completed in 2022. ## Crowne Plaza ![Hotel prefunction lounge with yellow armchairs and blush sofas on a patterned carpet, under a black geometric ceiling](https://bankodesign.com/_astro/crowne-plaza-kearney-prefunction-lounge.DaJBhHMp_BR3FB.webp) The Crowne Plaza in Kearney, NE is a new construction, 172 room hotel and conference center. Guestrooms offered by the property include king, double queen, and king suites. The Interior Design is inspired by the city’s establishment as a crossroads of east/west migration beginning in the mid-1800’s, and the migration of sandhill cranes the city hosts each year. The color scheme brightens the space with subtle yellow tones against neutral greys, navy blues, and blacks. Catering to business and family travelers alike, the design matches the bustling and upbeat tempo of the city’s business economy, while remaining comfortable for families. Banko Design provided full Interior Design and Procurement services for this project. Are you ready to hire an interior design firm for your next hospitality project?
