ALLURE...
Contemporary leisure industry interiors are regularly obliged to refurbish their spaces and refine their services, to prevent them appearing dated and to maintain their position in a competitive industry.
BOUTIQUE ‘Boutique’ describes intimate, luxurious and often quirky hotels. They are, typically, unique properties operated by individuals or small companies, but their success has prompted multi-national companies to try to reconsider and restyle their own brands.
HOTEL
The former Sheriff Court building currently hosts a bar on the ground floor and a restaurant on the first floor. The project analyses the existing building structure and explains how it may be relaunched as a small boutique hotel.
