Crafted as a submission to bid for the Metro-Suites at the Dexter, the Moody Nolan Environmental Design Studio (MNEDS) drafted designs for the interiors of the apartment units aimed at young professionals in the Cleveland, OH area. To support the idea of both quality and space within the 500 sq ft units, the designs referenced the visual aesthetics of luxury hotel suites.
