The soft refurbishment was aimed at improving the image of the hotel which had been neglected for decades. With a budget of 10% the average per square meter allocation for a similar hospitality project, I had to use subtle design and decorative elements to exaggerate and improve the quality space whilst highlighting the colonial heritage of the hotel dating back to 1837.

Two ballrooms (Rainbow, Lotus) were also refurbished as part of this project.

The project was completed during the COVID 19 pandemic, which restricted nearly all foreign imports. This meant the furniture requirment had to be custom manufacturered locally. As the furniture was of oriental style, the local craftsman had to be guided through a series of mock-up samples to achive the outcome expected.

In addition, I coordinated all the equipment within the BOH and Bar counters, enabling the counters to be manufacturerd to fit.

The small 215sqm plot was enclosed on all 4 sides with the exception of a 3.3m entry driveway. Therefore, I felt it was important to create small pocket garden spaces to maximise the natural light and ventilation.

These tiny garden spaces allow for through ventilation to keep the internal spaces cool during the hot summer days.
