Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021
A contemporary hotel lobby unfolds before you, organized as a generous double-height interior space flooded with natural light from an extensive glass wall spanning the full height at the far end. Beginning at the foreground, two round white marble tables with warm copper-toned pedestal bases anchor the immediate space, surrounded by curved velvet chairs in a rich caramel or butterscotch color, their bowl-shaped forms suggesting comfortable embrace. The velvet texture appears soft and inviting, like suede worn smooth by use. Moving leftward, a striking vertical screen of slender black metal bars rises from floor to ceiling, creating a rhythmic linear pattern reminiscent of piano keys or bamboo stalks, spacing approximately three inches apart. Suspended before and within this screen, clusters of pendant lights descend at varying heights, combining spherical opalescent globes glowing with warm white light and elongated copper-toned vessels with decorative filament elements visible within. The overall effect suggests suspended jewelry or organic seed pods. Beyond the screen at left, glimpses of additional lounge seating appear in muted tones of gray and taupe, with green leafy plants providing organic counterpoint. The center middle ground features a cylindrical elevator shaft clad in brushed copper or bronze metal, its warm metallic surface catching ambient light. Flanking this, sculptural high-backed chairs in cream and light gray fabric with winged silhouettes create intimate seating arrangements. The floor throughout consists of large-format marble tiles in creamy white with subtle gray veining, their polished surface reflecting the pendant lights above like still water. To the right, a reception counter appears with vertical fluted wood paneling in alternating cream and natural tones, warm as honey. Exposed concrete columns in cool gray punctuate the space, their industrial texture providing tactile contrast to the refined finishes surrounding them. The light quality combines soft diffused daylight from the glazed facade with warmer pools of amber illumination from the decorative pendants, creating an atmosphere that feels simultaneously airy and intimate, like late afternoon sunlight filtering into a sophisticated urban sanctuary.
