about
A common space was created at the lobby area to allow social activities outside the rooms, supplying local flavoured coffee and tea, local snacks, and a framed view of the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood.
There is a rising trend in a new type of traveller – The Bleisure Traveller. They are business travellers, who are typically on the lookout for a unique hotel to immerse themselves in a good location so that they can also spend leisure time experiencing the local culture after a long day of hard work.
The design was to adopt a very simple strategy of borrowing colours from the surrounding area. A common space was created at the lobby area to allow social activities outside the rooms, supplying local flavoured coffee and tea, local snacks, and a framed view of the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood.
The repetitive arches were inspired from the 50-year-old hotel’s main lobby. Given a modern twist of colours and 3D forms, the old structure of the hotel is redefined as a modern day design in the newly minted 110 rooms within 2 top floors of the hotel.
