Heya is a guestroom designed for Gen Z, the cohort of globally connected "digital natives" who believe customization is the new luxury experience. Thanks to technology, Heya can be dramatically reconfigured by guests to suit their purpose with a space-saving ceiling-mounted bed. The room features high quality and sustainable materials and has been designed to accommodate four guest types: Leisure, Business, Wellness and Long-stay. Technology enabled the room to inter-change from party, to work, to family space via an app, with personalization being a key feature of the design concept.
