It’s always a fun call to receive when you are asked to put your stamp on an iconic landmark of your community. The Evangeline is known to many as the first sign that you have arrived in the beautiful Annapolis Valley. Self-described ad “70’s motel exterior, with warm and modern interiors”, we were tasked with transforming a 4 bedroom unit on the property, previously unused by guests, into a 5 bedroom getaway for larger groups looking for a boutique hotel experience. With interesting and adaptable architectural bones, we opted for minimal renovation but high style updates. Through exclusive sourcing and innovative application of budget-friendly materials, we leaned into the 70’s influence to create a high vibe hotel experience. Referencing a truly maritime concept of “colour-by-room”, each guest room offers a unique aesthetic that brings guest back time and time again.
