Premier - Design to Completion

Celebrating 250 years of American innovation, opportunity, and progress.

Today, we honor the spirit of independence that continues to inspire the places we build, the communities we serve, and the future we help shape.

Happy Independence Day from the entire Premier team.

Premier is proud to share that our Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown project has earned a 2025 Commercial Property Executive Influence Award, receiving Bronze recognition in the Best Interior Design category.

This latest honor adds to the project's growing list of national accolades and reflects the creativity, technical expertise, and attention to detail that shaped every aspect of the guest experience. We are honored to see Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown recognized among the commercial real estate industry's most notable projects and developments.

Premier's interior design vision transformed a long-vacant historic structure into a sophisticated hospitality destination, balancing the building's architectural heritage with a contemporary guest experience. Inspired by the concept of "European glamour meets cowboy swagger," the design celebrates Fort Worth's unique character while delivering the elevated experience expected of the Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts brand.

Congratulations to our Interior Design team (led by Design Director Leslie Gieger Wynne) and project partners on this continued recognition. We are grateful to see this landmark project continue to earn acclaim across the hospitality, design, and commercial real estate industries.

Adding momentum to the official announcement made during the opening of the 2025 United States Grand Prix, Dallas-based architecture and design firm Premier has officially unveiled its design of the new state-of-the-art trackside clubhouse for THE CIRCUIT, Circuit of The Americas’ (COTA) private member driving club in Austin, Texas. Overlooking COTA’s legendary Turn 1, the clubhouse will serve as the exclusive home for club members’ year-round access to the track and its facilities – not just during race weekends, but every week of the year.

Anchored dramatically to the hillside above Turn 1, Premier’s design will deliver a modern four-story glass and steel structure that projects forward in bold, aerodynamic layers that echo the speed and precision of the movement on the course below. Crowning the design, a luxurious sky deck with dual pools and private cabanas spans the entire building’s top floor, while a gondola station integrated directly into the building’s design offers seamless aerial access for club members and their guests to the pit building and paddock down the nearby finish line straightaway. Angled red structural fins animate the clubhouse’s façade, drawing inspiration from COTA’s iconic Observation Tower and echoing the performance-oriented language embedded in THE CIRCUIT’s logo. Inside, expansive fenestration floods social and dining areas with natural light and wall-to-wall views, creating a dynamic interplay between hospitality and horsepower. The design flows from high-octane spectacle to quiet refuge; while the exterior captures the track’s dynamic energy, the luxurious amenities within offer club members a tranquil and meticulously crafted sanctuary for restoration after a long day on the track.

A new-build development, Premier is providing architectural design expertise, and is also slated to provide interior design and procurement services for the project.

Spring has sprung, and with it, a renewed appreciation for spaces that bring the outdoors in. That sensibility is on full display at the recently renovated Courtyard San Diego Downtown Little Italy, where Premier’s Interior Design team led a comprehensive reimagining of the guest arrival experience.

As part of a property-wide renovation, the design approach centered on competitively repositioning this select-service hotel amongst its full-service peers. The registration area became a defining moment within that strategy, with Premier’s Interior Design team conceiving the design through a biophilic lens and anchoring the space by way of a sculptural, greenery-integrated installation that activates the lobby. Set against warm wood tones, layered natural textures, and a palette inspired by San Diego’s coastal environment, the composition introduces depth, movement, and a tangible connection to nature.
