Tres makes press in the August 2010 issue of Hospitality Design as well as in the fall/winter 2010 NEWH Magazine, the Hospitality Industry Network. Trespass stole #3 (so much cooler than #1) in this year's Radical Innovation Competition held at HD in Las Vegas. As quoted in the article by judge James Woods of Keen Partners – "Trespass was the best proposal I've seen to address a major and increasing blight on the suburban landscape," say Woods.

Judge Simon Turner, President of Global Development at Starwood Hotels and Resorts adds – "These concepts are very timely as we, at Starwood, continue to see increasing non-traditional development opportunities in urban environments and, an increased focus on incorporating green practices into existing and new build hotels as a clear trend. The current challenging economic times have placed more of a premium on striking a balance between innovation and practicality than in past years".

The NEWH online version is not yet up, but you can probably find it here at some point soon.

VivalasWEETU, HD 2008

The dynamic duo from WEETU went west for the HD 2008 show in Vegas. Finally WEETU was actually ASKED for their critical judgment! The kind folks at HD invited Linda and Carly to comb the exhibition halls in search of the best exhibit booths. It was a grueling task, but WEETU was in good company with Jillian Van Dresser, (The Van Dresser Company) and Jeffrey Williams (BBG-BBGM). Following hours of review, the judges submitted their scores and WEETU retreated to the hot desert sun for an hour of people watching and pooling prior to jumping back into the HD festivities.

But that’s not all! WEETU also gave a seminar presentation on Saturday, May 17th. Special thanks to those hard-core early risers who came with sunglasses and coffee. WEETU felt your pain and appreciated the support.
