Entry Description

The arrival is designed as a “tunnel” with forced perspective
to the Livingroom through the use of lighting and angled fins
in reflective metals.

The stacked, gilded reception area is inspired by the
formation of stalactite and stalagmites. Soft edges and
blurred boundaries welcome you into the purposefully
compressed space.

The bar is a beacon of light, housing a private VIP room. An
installation over the main seating appears to move and
change as guests move through the space. The Living Room
was comprised of a series of cubes that frame the space.

Guestrooms are minimally designed reflecting the soft
edges
and blurred boundaries through reflective surfaces and
translucent materials. Reflecting the public space, the
shower becomes the final ultimate cube. Large glass sliding
doors to the sleeping area provide privacy and lighting
transforms the room from day to night, with effects of TV
and lighting hidden behind glass panels.
