good neighbor

Understanding how the things we find special arrive in front of us, whether a mug, a chair, or a room, brings us directly into the design process by allowing us to experience those things and be a part of its story. BmoreArt graciously allowed us to share how guesthouse by good neighbor came to be and fits right in with everything we're building a community around in Baltimore so our neighbors can be a part of ours. "With its blend of history, sustainability, and community, the guesthouse by good neighbor (lowercase with intention) is a testament to the transformative power of design and genuine hospitality. This fusion of cultures creates a unique ambiance that reflects the couple's deep-rooted appreciation for both traditions. Their commitment to showcasing their love for the Charm City is also evident in every detail, as hospitality flows through the space, inviting guests to experience the warmth of their diverse backgrounds."

is announcing its fourth annual design week celebration called Design Camp from Monday, July 29 to Friday, August 2. Following a tradition from the previous years, 2024’s Design Camp has a unique theme of “A Student of _______.” Design Camp is free and open to the public. Over five days, participants can experience a design-centric immersion with different themes for each day: Art, Photography, Fashion, Design, and Cinema. Staying curious is a creative act—being your own best teacher while learning all you can from those who paved the way. From the auto-didactics to those who found their creative spark in the classroom, we're making room for everyone to be students of design in all its forms while coming together to show the world that Baltimore is a Design City. Each evening participants can enjoy a thought-provoking and inspired conversation from guest speakers across the various fields of art and design. These speakers include: Bradford Young, Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Halie Germia, Educator and filmmaker Devin Allen, award-winning artist, photographer, and Gordon Parks Fellow D Watkins, award-winning author, educator, and writer Nu Goteh, Designer and co-founder of Deem Journal  Teri Henderson, Artist, author, curator, and editor Arjuna Routte-Prieur, Painter and Illustrator  Lynore Routte, Multidisciplinary Artist  Ayman & Osama Abdeldayem, Co-Founders of Baltimore-based brand Carpet Company To our Baltimore neighbors and anyone visiting Baltimore next week, you can't miss this! https://lnkd.in/dPFrm6QM

We're thrilled to have good neighbor co-owner and Creative Director Shawn Chopra speak at the Independent Lodging Congress's INDIE Confab this summer. Being a good neighbor is honoring the communities we live in and serve, and we always relish the opportunity to share our unique vision that has expanded our brand and business.

We're humbly honored to see our guesthouse on Condé Nast Traveler. The reception to the idea of staying in our home, which we created to offer guests an experience that immerses them in the things we love, has been incredibly inspiring. A tremendous thank you to Shontel Horne for your time and attentiveness. Baltimore to the world!

Grateful doesn't begin to reach the level of emotion we have on a second Dwell feature. This time, we hosted Jack Balderrama Morley at our recently opened guesthouse. Not just that; co-owner and creative director Shawn Chopra took Jack around to meet some of our neighbors who inspire us, had a hand in realizing this incredible new step for us, and enjoyed some of the best food in the city. It's truly a special piece that gives a glimpse of how we hope to continue to reshape the narrative of Baltimore into one that we already know to be true. This city is an incredibly inspiring and design-centric place that deserves to be on the world stage. Thank you, Jack Balderrama Morley, the team at Cohere, and the city of Baltimore, which continues to impress. You can read it all here: https://lnkd.in/dMUBM796
