Architecture+DesignSummary: The art and business of hospitality has always been rooted in the idea of being a home away from home with a refreshing experience; this ever-evolving sector has been a key area of interest for us as a design team.
The present hospitality market is a highly competitive one, and the onus on contemporary brands is extending beyond the provision of standardised services– enabling visitors to take away authentic, meaningful and enriching experiences which are contextual as well as often region-specific. These can only come about through responsive design and careful curation.
Working with this intent in mind, the design team needs to focus on setting the right stage for these experiences– enabling, through design, the seamless integration of site and services to ensure that the brand ethos is reflected in every spatial element. Essentially, the design team’s job is to help facilitate the brand or client’s business objectives by delivering the desired experience effectively to the end-users, that is, the client’s clients.
Hospitality design in heritage spaces comes with its own unique set of opportunities and challenges. Design interventions in historic buildings must strike a balance between retaining the historical charm and staying relevant. This demands the practice of being respectful to heritage, yet ensuring that contemporary destinations fulfil present day needs.
