Hospitality Case Study

Hospitality Design Integration: Azure Grand Hotel, Miami

A luxury-focused integration story showing how touchless restroom technology can meet high-end design goals,
while staying reliable under real-world lighting conditions.


EPA WaterSense (Water Efficiency)

Challenge

Challenge: The design team wanted touchless functionality without compromising luxury aesthetics in guest and public restrooms. Prior sensors tested were unreliable under variable lighting.

Solution

Solution: ArchFaucet collaborated with interior designers to integrate sleek under-counter IR sensors paired with
custom spout finishes matching the hotel’s brushed-brass fixtures. Testing ensured consistent activation under all lighting conditions. For performance context, hospitality teams often align efficiency and reliability targets with programs like EPA WaterSense.

Results

Results reflect guest perception improvements and measurable water-use impact after implementation.

  • Guest satisfaction with bathroom design rose by 34% (guest survey).
  • 30% reduction in daily water usage.
  • Housekeeping efficiency improved—less spotting and cleaning time.
  • Brand review site mentions increased perceptions of cleanliness and innovation.

Lessons Learned

Lessons Learned: Luxury properties require both aesthetic integration and technical reliability— sensor tuning and pre-install testing are key. For broader building performance frameworks, many projects reference standards such as USGBC LEED.
