Design Inspiration
Room 1 at the Beach Hotel marks the inception of a larger hotel project, conceived by Sivak+Partners Studio, with a design that pays homage to the iconic JB movies of the 1980s. Departing from conventional hotel room aesthetics, the interior design of Room 1 exudes luxury and liberation, juxtaposing rugged “cave-like” walls with numerous cozy corners and zones. The goal was to create a space that stands out from the rest, offering guests a unique and memorable experience that stimulates the senses.
Tactile Contrast
A key aspect of the design philosophy behind Room 1 is the concept of tactile contrast. The studio aimed to evoke tactile sensations, encouraging guests to interact with the space on a sensory level. By juxtaposing different materials and textures, such as soft carpets against hard concrete floors, the design team sought to create a dynamic interplay that adds depth and richness to the overall experience. For instance, the Cini Boeri’s armchairs, with their appearance of cold glass, surprise guests with their unexpected comfort and ergonomic design.
Organic Elements
In the bathroom area, the design team sought to evoke the sensation of bathing in a natural hot spring. The bath bowl seamlessly blends with the floor, resembling a small pool emerging from the ground, while smart glass partitions offer privacy and functionality. This integration of organic elements with modern amenities creates a harmonious and soothing environment that invites relaxation and rejuvenation.
Nature-Inspired Workspace
The workspace in Room 1 reflects a harmonious blend of human technology and the power of nature. Designed without traditional drawers, the space encourages guests to disconnect from work and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings. A steel desk juxtaposed with a rugged rock plate creates a striking contrast, symbolizing the intersection of modernity and nature. Hidden shelves within the rock further integrate functionality with organic design elements, offering a unique and multifaceted workspace experience.
Culinary Delights and Relaxation
The kitchen area in Room 1 is designed to cater to guests’ small personal needs, offering snacks, coffee, and cocktails. With a focus on simplicity and convenience, the kitchen space seamlessly transitions into a cozy lounge area, perfect for evening relaxation. Artwork adorning the walls serves as a visual contrast to the kitchen area, creating a serene ambiance conducive to leisurely activities such as reading and texting. Through thoughtful design choices and attention to detail, Room 1 at the Beach Hotel offers guests a tranquil retreat that celebrates the beauty of nature and the comforts of modern living.
