HOTEL NERVI
SENIOR INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECT SPRING 2022
HOTEL NERVI was a senior level interdiciplinary project based in Rome, Italy. The project concept and design was done in collaboration with an Architect and Landscape Architect. Hotel Nervi was designed to be implemented into the culture of the north historic district of Rome. Mid-semester, a 10 day site visit was taken to better understand Italian culture and high end hospitality centered design. Multiple research projects were conducted as a group to align with hospitality design.
Interior and exterior structure and building layout was done with conjunction with the team architect. All exterior design and finishes by the architect and landscape architect. All interior room layouts, furniture selections, finishes, ceiling plans, and interior renderings were done by myself, the interior designer.

FORMAL DINING
The formal dining area is on the South East side of Hotel Nervi. Formal dining was strategically placed on the second floor for an elevated experience. The seperation from the main level acheives a higher level of seclusion from the busy street, as well as gives the guests a better view of high-end center garden crafted by the landscape architect.

CONCEPT DIAGRAM
THE CONCEPT DIAGRAM WAS CREATED TO SHOW THE SIMPLISTIC IDEA ON HOW THIS STRUCTURE WAS CREATED. THE DRAWINGS HIGHLIGHT THE CURVED ROOF IN WHICH REFLECTS THE CURVES OF THE MOUNTAINS SURROUNDING THE SITE.
THE SITE IS LOCATED ON LAKE LURE IN NORTH CAROLINA, USA. THE LAKE IS LOCATED TO THE WEST OF THE STRUCTURE. THE BYPASSING OF CARS CAN BE SEEN IN THE NORTH EAST CORNER THROUGH A GRAVEL ROAD. THE SMALL PATH OFFERS MORE INDEPENDENCE FROM THE SURROUNDING TOWN.
