前底特律消防局总部始建于1929年，坐落在华盛顿大道和西拉尼德街的东北角。Mcintosh Poris Associates与底特律建筑回收仓库机构合作，清点、回收了建筑物内部以及来自整个底特律地区其他废弃建筑物的木饰，并进行了重新使用。

原始立面经过保护修复，保留了两座建筑的特色。在底特律消防局总部建筑外部，消防主题的米色饰面镶嵌元素，诸如消防员半身像、消防栓上的狮鹫，以及两侧标有“DFD”双翼蛇尾雕像盾牌等都得到了修复和清洁、维护。红色的消防车入口大门也被修复和重新利用。在位于前消防车大厅的一层150座餐厅酒吧，以及历史悠久的休息室中打造的私人餐厅里，建筑的起源发挥了巨大的优势。

Simeone Deary设计集团为底特律基金会酒店打造的愿景，致力于纪念底特律的过往，并颂扬充满希望的城市未来。在“回归底特律家乡”的理念启发下，设计概念实现了对“重新利用历史”的承诺，并立足于从消防局总部和底特律收集的历史瞬间和材料，打造出现代感的设计。

过去的消防车大门成为了酒店的入口，人们穿过巨大的米色饰面拱券进入这座五层楼的新古典主义建筑，随之进入消防车停放处改成的巨大的一层半空间。这个区域包括前台、大堂和名为“消防车场”的餐厅。原釉面砖的保留纪念了这座建筑的历史，而新的饰面、装饰性照明和室内则为建筑增添了现代感。开放式展示厨房和贯穿餐厅的古铜色金属导轨系统，让人联想起消防员滑杆，并突显了建筑的坚实的力量感。前台由古董家具柜组成，办公桌后方的屏幕播放着当地工匠和制造商的画面，他们的技艺融入了酒店的设计之中。顶部的特色枝形吊灯从建筑的历史获得灵感，采用了形似烟雾的抽象结构。

酒店客房专为底特律打造，将建筑装饰和线脚重新利用为墙壁艺术装置。墙壁的镶嵌艺术品致敬了底特律玛瑙，并以照片展示底特律的历史建筑。深巧克力配色以及点缀了粉红和蓝色调的柔和金属色调，让人联想起上世纪60年流行的汽车喷漆，为简洁现代的客房增添了意想不到的色彩。这些家具彰显了底特律杰出的工业设计，与奢华的材料相得益彰。竖条天鹅绒沙发和曲线柔和的高漆床头板的灵感，汲取自高端汽车的工艺，为空间增添了怀旧气息。

The Detroit Foundation Hotel is a historic preservation and renovation of the former Detroit Fire Department Headquarters and adjacent Pontchartrain Wine Cellars building into a new 100‐key boutique hotel featuring ground‐level restaurant, private dining room, chef's table, bar, lounge, retail, two business meeting rooms, and podcast studio. The hotel also includes a fitness center and a new modern building addition to the fifth floor to host banquets and parties for up to 160 guests.

McIntosh Poris Associates worked with Aparium Hotel Group to repurpose the former Detroit Fire Department Headquarters and adjacent building, previously known as the Pontchartrain Wine Cellars, into the Detroit Foundation Hotel. Together, the two historically registered buildings accommodate 100 hotel rooms, office/conference spaces, Detroit‐focused retail, and a fitness center. The boutique hotel features a ground‐level restaurant/lounge and a roof‐top banquet space housed in a new addition. The $24‐million project embraces a "Detroit State of Mind" to welcome both visitors and locals with an authentic sense of place.

Located on the northeast corner of Washington Boulevard and West Larned Street, the former Detroit Fire Department Headquarters was originally built in 1929. Mcintosh Poris Associates worked with Architectural Salvage Warehouse Detroit to inventory, reclaim, and repurpose interior wood trim from the building as well as from abandoned buildings throughout Detroit.

The existing façades for both buildings were repaired and restored to maintain character. The Detroit Fire Department Headquarters' decorative terra cotta panels sporting firehouse themes, such as busts of firefighters, gryphons at a fire hydrant, and winged serpent‐tailed figures flanking a shield proclaiming "DFD," were repaired, cleaned, and maintained. The original fire‐engine red doors were restored and reused. The building's origins are used to great advantage on the ground‐floor 150‐seat restaurant and bar situated in the former fire engine hall and private dining room in the historic lounge.

Simeone Deary Design Group's vision for the Detroit Foundation Hotel was to honor Detroit's past and to celebrate the city's promising future. The conceptual design was inspired by the idea of "Coming Home to Detroit." This inspiration resulted in the commitment to "Repurpose History" by taking historically relevant moments and materials from the Fire Department Headquarters, as well as from Detroit, and create a contemporary design.

Entering the five‐story Neoclassical building through a massive arched, terra cotta‐faced portal, originally one of the fire engine doors, guests are transported into a voluminous, story‐and‐a half space that once housed the fire engines. The space incorporates the check‐in experience, lobby, and a restaurant aptly named "The Apparatus Room." Existing glazed brick tiles celebrate the building's history yet the new finishes, decorative lighting, and interior architecture add modernity. An open display kitchen and antique brass metal rail system, reminiscent of a fireman's pole, runs through the restaurant and highlights the strong architecture. The front desk is composed of vintage, found furniture credenzas. Video screens behind the desk showcase footage of local artisans and fabricators whose skills, craftsmanship, and art are incorporated into the hotel's design. Overhead, a feature chandelier, inspired by the building's history, resembles an abstract smoke‐inspired structure.

Guestrooms, curated specifically for Detroit, feature repurposed trim and moldings as a wall art installation. An unexpected nod to fordite mining and photographs of historic Detroit architecture become an inlaid art piece. A color palette of deep chocolates, along with pastel metallic punctuated with pink and blue accents reminiscent of the paint colors of 1960 automobiles, add an unexpected hue to the clean and modern guestrooms. The furniture celebrates Detroit's prominent industrial design and is offset with luxurious materials. A channel‐tufted velvet sofa and soft‐curve, high‐lacquered finish headboard draws inspiration from the craftsmanship of high‐end automobiles to add a touch of nostalgia.

The Detroit Foundation Hotel is a collaborative effort of the city's design, art, architecture, and manufacturing communities. Celebrating community, social entrepreneurship, and economic engagement are among the building blocks that inspired the collaboration between Aparium Hotels, McIntosh Poris Associates, and Simeone Deary Design Group.
