maleable space spring 2010
The idea behind these suites began with the transient nature of Las Vegas. The city draws floods of consumers, all with varying tastes of opulence. Each guest seeks a different, yet equally mesmorizing experience.
The architectural details are bold while still maintaining gender neutrality. LED screen walls (seen above with fireplace) is covered with a slightly frosted glass. This allows the wall art to be controlled electronically while adding a sense of modernity and glamour.
In order to work within this notion, the suites are designed to be personalized according to each guest. By providing a neutral space, the hotel will be able to achieve a better understanding of the client and offer a unique experience no other hotel could.
In order to counter the low ceilings, the carved stone walls (featured towards the right of the space) retreat into a shallow lit cove. This creates the illusion of the heavy sculptural component extending beyond the ceiling.
To help establish different spaces without building partition walls, simple material changes were used throughout the suite. This allowed the suite to remain spatially neutral while still maintaining a level of luxury and intrigue. Spatial neutrality is further elevated by working with a simple program. The suite as a whole becomes easily malleable and flexible. Furniture configurations and styles can be easily changed according to the client’s needs.
The flexibility of the suite will allow the space to transcend trendy designs by responding to current design trends rather than remaining static.
