Philadelphia-based DAS Architects has been selected to create the new comprehensive branding and design for the Ocean Suites at Jekyll Island, as well as the resort’s adjacent café, on Jekyll Island, Georgia.
The firm will be responsible for the branding and design of the new boutique Ocean Suites’ oceanfront rooms and suites—including full kitchens and living rooms; the resort’s social spaces; lobby and registration areas; swimming pool; porch; and several other public areas.
The new suites will have a contemporary, Victorian-inspired interior with a casual, relaxed feel throughout, complete with touches of Jekyll Island Club nostalgia and location-inspired colors and finishes.
The original Jekyll Island Club was established in the late 1800s and was a favorite among America’s wealthiest families. Today, the property is considered a landmark that boasts nearly 160 rooms and suites. This new project will add more than 60 suites.
DAS Architects was also responsible for the Jekyll Island Club, where they designed the lobby bar, dining room, and adjoining public spaces.
“It’s an exciting time for the Jekyll Island Club. The resort is ready to open a new chapter as the island’s premier family-friendly destination,” says Susan Davidson, partner of DAS Architects. “We are excited to embark on this interesting and creative architectural project and are especially looking forward to DAS Architects and our sister company, Studio DAS, working hand in hand on this compelling and collaborative endeavor.”
