Wild Dunes Condos - Hospitality Design
In partnership with Hyatt, we updated a series of condos with a hospitality-driven design approach. The goal: create an elevated, rental-friendly environment that feels like a coastal retreat and inspires a vacation state of mind.
Spanning 32 units and counting, the project involved full-service design support. By partnering closely with Hyatt, construction partners, local vendors, and Wild Dunes owners, we completed all units with renters vacation experience top of mind— and just in time for peak vacation season.
Furniture layouts have been reimagined to accommodate increased guest capacity, while also creating a restful environment for smaller parties. By incorporating bespoke pieces, we elevated living and resting spaces, and hand-selected materials that can withstand the demands of hospitality use. Heavy, outdated materials were exchanged in favor of lighter, wipeable surfaces and textures that conceal wear without sacrificing comfort or style. In the bathrooms, simple upgrades to finishes and fixtures create a cleaner, more modern experience.
Styling reflects the coastal setting, Charleston-based artwork adorns the walls, and a palette of blues and warm neutrals invite relaxation. Custom furnishings brought scale and cohesion to each unit while preserving individuality across different condo layouts.
The result is a hospitality-forward refresh that strengthens the connection between Hyatt's property portfolio and Isle of Palm's sense of place—setting a new design standard for future renovations and offering a more desirable rental experience for owners and guests alike.
