Design study 2019-2020
Our client asked us for a study for his hotel to explore possibilities to convert his single rooms (of a considerable number in the hotel) to double rooms, but gaining design quality.
Trough intense observation, we quicly arrived to two facts:
- A continuous and recognisable axis of movement is required.
- The best solution to create a quality sleeping area is a sleeping niche.
After much aesthetics research we came to a conclusion: the general concept, established with the client as 'sleeping in elegant times', must be reinterpreted trough an aesthetic of simplicity.
Concept of the Tatami bed + Wall storage element :
Variant with significant changes in the interior design. You do not keep the walls of the wardrobe and separate the hallway/entrance area from the sleeping area.
Both main elements of the room's utility area are separated by the step of the Tatami bed but are visually connected with the wall storage element. Representation of a foldable desk as part of the Wall storage element + open cupboard system next to it. Tatami bed also shown as single element. The result is a divided sleeping niche.
In order to generate a slightly different experience for the visitor, depending on which floor they are staying on, we opted for a concept of colour combinations for each of the four.
