There is a lot of room for creativity in terms of design and aesthetic appeal when it comes to hospitality design. In order to create themed boutique hotel rooms in Piraeus, Greece, Helen Brasinika, principle designer of Blend Design Office, draws inspiration from unique parts that are used in the ship-building business. This short-stay hotel concept, which was inspired by the site, has an in-built furniture system that packs a punch via its five apartment suites that give comfort, privacy, and ergonomics, despite the fact that such accommodations are contained inside a small area… By creatively distilling popular words associated with the word “harbour,” the designer has chosen names such as dock, mist, cove, shoreline, and cinnabar for each of the approximately 32 square meter suites. Additionally, each suite adheres to a thematic in terms of the materials, textures, color palette, and elements and metaphors that are associated with it. As an example, the custom-designed piece of artwork that is located in the dock suites incorporates romantic recollections that are associated with the docks. Panels made of oriented strand board (OSB) are used for the doors and paneling, while pine pillars that have been brushed and stained are used for the structural parts. Suffused with a powerful fluid quality, the furniture flows in a continuous ribbon beginning at the entry, where a compact dresser and a luggage storage area are accommodated. The furniture then flows on to a desk, a television unit, paneling, a kitchen and snack bar, and so on. a Japanese-style low sofa-cum-bed (to be used as required) that enhances the room spatially and culls out a strong aesthetic for a weary traveler; the underlying premise defining a suite that is meant to encourage communication and camaraderie rather than simply demarcating private and public spaces from one another. the structure runs through to the twin bedroom in a seamless manner. the twin bedroom features a spacious walk-in closet. As you go outside, you will find the harbor courtyard, which is inspired of ancient Greek home typologies and has plants, a tiled square for yoga and pilates, and seats for mingling and relaxing. Repetitive patterns occur on tiles, garden seats, bedcovers, and even bathroom accessories, which helps to firmly establish the hotel in the thoughts of its customers. This is an unusual way to create a strong brand identity, since it utilizes an indoor-outdoor connection. Indiaartndesign.com has a gallery of photographs of the hotel; to see them, go here.
