1 CULTURE
ABOUT NEW FARM A compact, inner-city precinct, New Farm is full of trendy retail outlets, restaurants and bars. Some of the best arts and cultural displays and festivals in Brisbane are also found here. Being so close to Fortitude Valley, these suburbs may adopt a similar attitude to their energetic neighbor, though the atmosphere tends to be a little more relaxed and ornate. Brisbane is very big on nature and tends to celebrate the natural environment through their architecture. Plenty of large, open outdoor spaces were created for residents and travelers to unwind and enjoy the sun. Although there is easy access via public transport and a limited amount of paid parking facilities available, the area is easily navigated on foot. This is a great way of getting to know the area while also enjoying its green, leafy, picturesque surroundings. Brisbane’s approach to the environments they build plays a large role in the city’s identity.

HOTEL RESEARCH
7 NOTES
HOTEL LOBBY 1. An overall objective for the planning and design of the public areas is that they be clustered around the lobby. 2. The designer must position any long-span spaces, primarily the ballroom and other larger meeting rooms, so that they are not directly under the guestroom tower, in order to simplify the structural design of the hotel and reduce construction costs. 3. Lobby size: .55-.93 sq m per room 4. Food and beverage areas: <.7 seat per room 5. Function spaces: <2 seats per room 6. Lobby planning objectives include: a. Additional exterior entrances for the main lobby b. Locate the desk so that it is immediately visible to the entering hotel guest c. Locate elevators close to the front desk and main entrance d. Establish clear paths to the front desk, elevators, restaurants and bars, meeting and banquet areas e. Provide entrances to the front office for staff 7. The design of the front desk and related activities is just one aspect of the lobby and requires making conscious decisions on each of the following features: size of desk, queuing space, assistant manager’s desk, bellman station, luggage storage, telephones furniture and fixtures. 8. The Baronette Renaissance Hotel in Michigan is a great example for the seating clusters for small groups to socialize within the lobby. 9. Front desk area checklist: a. Stations for registration, cashier, information b. Assistant manager’s desk c. Bellman station, cart storage d. Luggage storage e. House and pay phones 10. Circulation checklist: a. Access to public elevators b. Access to restaurants and lounges c. Access to function rooms d. Access to retail shops and other public areas 11. The lobby’s space program for a smaller hotel requires relatively little floor area.
8 NOTES
HOTEL FOOD & BEVERAGE 1. Current kitchen size may not be big enough â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it should be at least 1/3 the size the restaurant. 2. At least one restaurant and cocktail lounge clustered conveniently around the hotel lobby. 3. Provide each food outlet with direct, convenient access to the kitchen; those outlets with minor food services may be served. 4. Pack the restaurant with as many chairs as possible. 5. Create sections within your restaurant that may be busier than others: a. bar/lounge open past 10 PM 6. Provide each beverage outlet with service backup, from either the kitchen or the bar storage area. 7. How do we keep restaurant separated from bar/lounge and vice versa? 8. Provide restaurant seats equal to 0.6 times the number of guestrooms a. Lounge seats equal 0.3 times the number of rooms. 9. Control the lighting between different times of day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; adaptable lighting: breakfast, lunch and dinner. 10. Design considerations for a 3-meal restaurant include: a. Cashier/hostess station b. Separate sections c. Flexible arrangement of tables d. Counter seating e. Buffet/display areas f. Service stations g. Adaptable lighting h. Background music i. Uniforms, tabletop, graphics and signage 11. Lounge and bar objectives: a. Visibility, seating, bar, entertainment, food service b. Bar: feature a small bar for beverage service with nearby storage or back up from the kitchen
9 NOTES
HOTEL BACK OF HOUSE 1. Generally compromising between about 10 and 15 percent of the total floor area 2. Main functional areas include: a. Administration offices b. Food prep and F & B storage areas c. Receiving, trash, and general storage areas d. Employee areas e. Laundry and housekeeping areas f. Engineering and mechanical areas 3. Administrative offices areas generally are divided into five clusters: a. Front desk and front office b. Executive office c. Sales and catering office d. Accounting office e. Information technology offices 4. The area requirements are fairly standard – from 0.9 – 1.3 sq m per room – because the great majority of laundry demand is generated by the guestrooms 5. Necessary space is about equally divided between the laundry and housekeeping areas, including their respective support spaces 6. Hotel laundry should be located on the lowest floor to lessen the chance that noise and vibration from the laundry might interfere with any public or guestroom areas 7. Mechanical equipment area does not need to be directly adjacent to the other service areas, although they should be close to the laundry, kitchen, and other high-energy use areas for most economical operation 8. Food-service adjacencies: a. Critical i. Food storage to main kitchen ii. Main kitchen to restaurants iii. Roomservice area to service elevators b. Desirable i. Receiving to food storage ii. Kitchen to room-service areas iii. Kitchen to bars and lounge iv. Kitchen to garbage/trash holding v. Kitchen to employee dining 9. Front office area planning a. Locate self-service kiosks in sight of the desk b. Locate the desk in sight of the guest elevators c. Consider placement of luggage carts before and during service 10. Employee area planning: a. Dining/break room i. Provide sufficient capacity for peak periods; consider numbers at shift change b. Lockers and toilets i. Provide separate facilities, sized according to the staff program and shift schedules; estimate staffing at 60 percent male, 40 percent female unless local experience differs ii. Consider separate lockers for restaurant staff
10 NOTES
BOUTIQUE HOTEL 1. While the quality of hotels has advanced immeasurably over several centuries, especially their services, the basic functional elements remain almost as simple and familiar as in ancient times. 2. Design hotels extend the boutique fascination by emphasizing great architecture combined with chic interiors and now include fashion designers. 3. The location of a hotel in the city in many ways defines its market and its character. In addition to rail terminals, urban hotels have gravitated to locations in close proximity to active business centers and fashionable shopping districts such as New York’s Fifth Avenue, Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, or Tokyo’s Ginza Strip. 4. Boutique hotels originated in marginal neighborhoods where inexpensive and obsolete buildings were transformed into high-fashion lodgings. 5. Philippe Starck’s sophisticated, irreverent design approach, with his use of bold color, unexpected materials and textures, and idiosyncratic high-quality custom furniture, completely transformed Le Royal Monceau, helping it regain its popularity with artists and celebrities. 6. Boutique hotels, though tasteful, are less unconventional in design and tend toward smaller renovated properties. They mostly cater to the upper-upscale segment. 7. “Beauty as we feel it is something indescribable: what it is or what it means can never be said.” - George Santayana 8. Public spaces in design hotels take on particular importance for this reason: sound, scent, emotion, and interaction. For instance, restaurants and bars are important features, they are places to see and be seen. 9. There is a proposal that design hotels can be divided into three basic groups: a. Type A: one designer for both interior and exterior b. Type B: multiple well-known designers who contribute their names like brands c. Type C: modern and contemporary atmosphere through furniture, staff, etc.
11 HOTEL CLASSIFICATION
Design Hotels: Tend to focus on innovative, experimental, or unconventional. They can position themselves in the market anywhere from budget to luxury. Boutique Hotels: Though tasteful, are less unconventional in design and tend toward smaller renovated properties. They mostly cater to the upper-upscale segment. Lifestyle Hotels: May have qualities of both design or boutique hotels but differentiate themselves by paying particular attention to delivering an entertaining atmosphere and personalized service. Type A: Unique hotels that are fully designed by one designer from the outside to the inside. Type B: Hotels that are designed by multiple well-known designers who contribute their names like brands. Type C: Hotels that offer a modern and contemporary atmosphere through furniture, staff, etc. The name of the designer is not important, if there is one at all. A substantial market was discovered for fashion-minded travelers seeking an atmosphere in which they could enjoy an artistic lifestyle: a setting that immersed them in the avant-garde where they could feel they belonged to a community of insiders whose taste was impeccable. The Serenity Hotel will distinguish itself with personalized service and a unique set of characteristics that define a boutique hotel. High-quality materials and eccentric accents will create an unforgettable visual experience and atmosphere. The design will be inspired by the First Lady of Australian Design, Marion Hall Best. Bestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacular spaces consisted of the latest European and American design trends at the time, including Charles and Ray Eames, warm color tones and the juxtaposition of sleek lines with organic shapes. The combination of these elements matches the integrity and aesthetic of midcentury modern design.

Location: Brisbane, Australia Architects: Richards and Spence Area: 28,104 m2 Year: 2018 Hotel Type: Urban Resort The Calile Hotel is an urban resort which balances a quietly brutal aesthetic with humor and charm. The 175-room hotel is the most significant of the built work produced by Richards and Spence in the James Street Precinct, an open-air street based development 2.5 km from Brisbaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CBD. Like its neighbors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Calile Hotel is predominantly white brick, stone & expressed concrete and the journey from lobby to pool cabana is a continuous outdoor experience. Hidden from the street, the pool terrace is an otherworldly experience of fluttering palm trees and striped canvas umbrellas flanking a spacious swimming pool. Conceived as elevated streets, hotel corridors continue the outdoor experience naturally ventilated with ceiling fans via customized breeze block screens. The Calile Hotel is a new destination for a quiet capital city, demonstrating both civic ambition and a dignified setting for hot weather civility.

13 PRECEDENT STUDY
Location: Surry Hills, Australia Architects: Breathe Architecture Year: 2018 The conceptual approach of the Paramount Hotel was about marrying these two ideas - the artifact and ornament. The narrative of artifact and ornament is embedded throughout. Remnants of the artifact are exposed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; existing brickwork is stripped back and expressed and original heritage walls are articulated by contrasting tile work. Time and change are marked by the traces of former walls and slabs, rough and imperfect against the new adornments - copper cabinetry, custom artwork, rectilinear concrete furnishing, lush greenery and crisp chevron patterned screens. There are 29 rooms at Paramount House Hotel - and like our guests, no two are the same. Some suites express the patterned brickwork, parapet and gable ends, while others reveal remnants of former stairwells, aged joists and struts. To the existing brick and timber shell, we brought a robust, authentic palette of structural and architectural metalwork, concrete, recycled timber, locally designed tiles, textiles, fixtures and fittings. Suites have been designed to include a winter deck, tucked behind either the existing brick envelope or copper screen facade, providing shading, natural ventilation and the opportunity to interact with the Sydney streetscape and the Australian climate. Contextually responsive to its Sydney location, Paramount House Hotel is truly unique. It is about expressing everything that was old and true, honest and raw, about the existing warehouse. Paramount House Hotel was designed with priority towards sustainability. Responding to its context, many of the suites each have a north facing winter deck, encouraging guests to engage with the external environment and serving a purpose to provide shade and natural ventilation.

14 PRECEDENT STUDY
Location: Huzhou, China Architects: STUDIO8 Year: 2018 Area: 10610 m2 Hotel Type: Boutique Hotel Nestled in the mountains of Moganshan, Cloud Hotel sits serenely in a bamboo forest in Deqing County, a popular retreat destination 200km away from Shanghai. The original building had three levels built along the mountain slope and carried features inspired by European castles. STUDIO8 was commissioned to renovate the architecture and interiors and redesign the visual identity. In the renovation process, STUDIO8 aimed to best utilize the natural slope formed by the landscape, while taking full advantage of the spectacular mountain views. While the architecture lacked a coherent hierarchy and style, it did have a feature that served the renovation well – it was not built directly against the mountain, providing much more room and potential for the extension. Rather than stacking upwards, STUDIO8 decided to bring life to the underused below ground levels, adding more layers into the space without increasing the height of the building or creating additional impact to the environment. Before and after renovation. To achieve a consistent brand image, STUDIO8 carefully curated the interior and visual identity design of the hotel to match well with the “Cloud” concept. Suite. Pure white finishes give a clean background to the interiors of the restaurant, while the bronze accent found in the tables and lighting adds a warm, earthy tone. In the largest suite, a bespoke laurel green headboard hangs from a brass rod, echoing the green-hued Persian carpet and green walls in the bathroom.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
15 CONCEPT
tabula rasa /ta·bu·la ra·sa/ n. 1 the mind in its hypothetical primary blank or empty state before receiving outside impressions 2 something existing in its original pristine state Tabula Rasa is the basis for philosopher John Locke’s theory of the mind and the overall inspiration for the design of The Serenity Hotel. Mr. Locke suggested that the human mind is a blank slate, or tabula rasa, at the beginning of life - born without pre-existing concepts. Rather, knowledge is determined by experience; specifically from sensory perception and personal interaction with the environment. Features, such as the starburst icon, the variety of seating and gathering areas and the relaxing spa presents a gateway to an experience that the visitor controls. The Serenity Hotel experience invites guest to begin their adventure with a blank slate and to make new memories together.

The Serenity Lobby design facilitates efficient flow of pedestrian traffic and emphasizes wayfinding. This area offers a first impression of the ambiance that the hotel wants to emit and may provide a glimpse of what is available to enjoy in the surrounding neighborhood and community. Furthermore, the lobby provides a variety of meeting places. Most guests are looking for a space to spend their free time, talk to their friends, meet strangers or enjoy a conversation with a friendly bartender.

39 HOTEL KING SUITE
The image above is the hallway found in each guest room wing on levels two, three, four and five. The long linear ceiling feature mirrors the floor pattern - guiding the guests through the space both visually and physically. The round metal architectural feature frames each doorway and includes the room number which allows guests and staff to find their rooms quickly and efficiently.
Decompress, revitalize, and rejuvenate; the three main purposes of the King Suite. This private efficiency suite is available on levels two, three, four and five and allows the guest to relax and unload the stress of the day. The comfortable furnishings allow for restorative sleep necessary to refuel the body and build the energy to conquer the next day.
