HOW HAVE CURRENT EXPERIENTIAL
TRENDS INFLUENCED YOUR DESIGN
APPROACH?
The need for amenities in public areas of the hotel
is a trend that is becoming more and more popular.
With business travelers on the move, co-working
spaces in the lobby are becoming a necessity, as
the need to be plugged in is important to guests.
The blending of commercial and hospitality is a
trend that will continue to evolve and be top of
mind when we design these spaces.
DOES LUXURY HAVE THE SAME
MEANING FOR YOU AS IT DID 10 YEARS
AGO? HOW DO YOU INTRODUCE
LUXURIOUS MOMENTS INTO YOUR
CREATIVE VISION?
Ten years ago, luxury was all about traditionality,
which evolved to designing with a more modern
mindset. Today, we are seeing both modern
and traditional looks presented hand in hand,
redefining the meaning of luxury. When I’m on
the road traveling, I like to take note of moments
when I feel the most luxurious during my hotel
stays, and make sure that our designs are self-
indulgent and welcoming.
