INSPIRATION: Mutualism and Energy, Dancing Orchids
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The most challenging part of this project was to transform an established business hotel and give it a new boutique style and a more modern unique image. The concept for this design is called Lively Metropolis and was inspired by mutualism and energy, incorporating subtle curved lines with dancing orchids. New illuminated curved staircases and modern chandelier modular combine to create a vivid centre piece of the double ceiling in the entrance lobby. All seating arrangements were designated in a circular pool like fashion with sleek lines and furniture which reflects the same shape of the dark mirrored ceiling. Natural light is controlled by shutters and glazed curtain walls and artificial LED lighting only appear at certain specific locations. A modern look is achieved by combining polished linear grain natural stones with glazed pieces of work. The whole atmosphere is given a warm feel using contrasting neutral shades with sharp yellow accents. The effect of the main theme is also enhanced by incorporating yellow dancing orchids.
