MyChelsea Boutique Hotel Designers: Design Haus Liberty

Precedent Studies

Location: Chelsea, London, United Kingdom Size: 1858.0608 m2 Year: 2017

Summary: MyChelsea is a niche boutique hotel located in the heart of Chelsea. With the brand of MyHotels set in unique locations that complement their surroundings, this hotel does just that. Drawing on the beautiful gardens and annual flower shows of Chelsea, the hotel design creates an experience where botany and nature come together to provide a serene environment for hotel guests and visitors alike. In the main conservatory, the monochromatic backdrop of the design allows the greenery of the tropical array of plants to stand out. These organic layers are juxtaposed with carefully sourced geometric furniture inclusive a distressed bar with stone top and white oak floors laid in an angled geometry.

View of Conservatory designed to allow the surrounding greenery to stand out.

Design Implications: - Integration of elements found in the surrounding landscape create an identity for the hotel directly tied to its location.

- Views to the outdoors take advantage of natural light, promote sustainability, and emerse guests in their surrounding environment.

- Materials, finishes, and palette should be consistant throughout the hotel so as to establish a recognizable brand and identity.

The Warehouse Hotel Designers: Zarch Collaboratives

Precedent Studies

Location: Singapore Size: 2102.0 m2 Year: 2016

Summary: Sited in a conserved building off Robertson Quay, the Warehouse Hotel’s roots extend far back to Singapore’s trading history as early as the late 19th century. Three warehouses have been combined and outfitted, starting a new lease of life as a 37room boutique hotel. The Hotel fronts the Singapore River with a distinctive, symmetrical façade and jacked roofs while original design elements like louvre windows, doors, cornices, mouldings and the Chinese characters on the leftmost gable are sensitively retained and restored. These elements have been complemented with restrained touches, including a metallic black canopy on the main entrance.

View of Lobby where the existing interior elements of the warehouse are prominent.

Design Implications: - Highlighting the historical context of the hotel creates a direct relationship between its location and surrounding city.

- Utilize materials and finishes that are authentic and native to the hotel site’s location.

- Create relevent branding without becoming overly thematic. Sophisticated design will illustrate the design concept without becoming overbearing.

Courtyard Tampa Downtown

Site Visit

For my site visit, I toured the Courtyard Tampa Downtown

by Marriot. One of the most striking observations I made was that of the lobby which integrated lounge seating with a cafe and co-working spaces. The layout of different seating arrangements made for a functional space that serves a variety of purposes. Visitors can enjoy their breakfast in the cafe, wait and enjoy some television in the lounge seating, or hold meetings in the co-working space. The centralized registration and concierge are easily accessible for all guests and includes a convenient boarding pass kiosk for the nearby airport.

Furniture and material selections were modern and functional and helped facilitate the variety of needs of visitors. Ammenities provided by the hotel include a shuttle service that operates within a two mile radius of the hotel, a business center, 24 hour fitness center, outdoor courtyard, and pool.

13 Concept + Goals

Journey of the Spirit Inverness, from the Scottish Gaelic, means Mouth of the River, appropriate given its location at the meeting point of the River Ness and Moray Firth. Just as the river continues its own journey through the heart of Inverness, travelers embark on their own journeys upon arriving. Their journeys are both physical and spiritual as they not only discover and explore new places but also make new discoveries within themselves through these experiences.

From this notion, the concept journey of the spirit was born and will inform the design of the new boutique hotel Hotel Turas in Inverness, Scotland. This concept will be illustrated in the use of form and scale, selection of natural materials and finishes, soothing color palette, and incorporation of outdoor views throughout the hotel. The design will bring a sense of relaxation and reinvigoration to travelers while also encouraging them to go out and explore their new surroundings as they continue their own journeys.
