hotel design objective
to design a high end luxury hotel in South Beach Miami, FL giving guests an exclusive experience with underlying themes of exhilaration, unpredictability and exploration
design concept
the design was inspired by prominent elements associated with Cuba and the prevalent culture. Lush, vivacious and forbidden, were the key words identified which then drove the creative process and were incorporated into every aspect of the hotel. This concept was further illustrated by the idea of uncovering layers by the use of color, screens, shutters to give the user a sense of intrigue inviting them to explore the space in collaboration with Natalie Miller, John Ortiz and Erik Sundbo
