How did the team handle the merging of this vintage feel with a contemporary modern touch?
The parameters that we considered while designing the hotel and it’s components, is the feel of reality and present time; cost, target group and the touches of Istanbul’s past were also considerations. The building was renovated not rebuilt, and we started by peeling the building walls, a method that is inspired by the architectural movement of “brutalism”. We chose furniture that had a taste of Istanbul. The whole interior and façade was finished by merging these elements together in order to give a new experience to the hotel’s clients and guests.
