About CP Budapest Primary Function: Deseño interior de hotel

Book Text: CP Budapest é un proxecto de deseño interior para un hotel na banda de Pest de Budapest, preto da estación de tren de Nyugati e do centro comercial Westend City. O traballo abordou a modernización e o rebranding dun edificio hoteleiro existente con 230 habitacións. O vestíbulo e o bar Axis son coloridos e ecléticos, evocando a estación de tren do século XIX próxima. O restaurante, os corredores e as habitacións empregan tons terrosos máis calmos, como a terracota, o beixe e o verde. Os interiores conéctanse co seu contorno e acollen tanto aos hóspedes do hotel como aos visitantes locais.

Hotel rooms are designed in greyish and earthy colour palette combined with camel leather and two different hues of green colour accents.

Research: This project is a symbol of the combination of the beauty of the journey, vibrant and busy life of the city and Hungarian wineries traditions. The essential part was to correspondent interiors with the exterior - its elements, colours and views, creating timeless connection filled with textures and colours referring to the neighbourhood.
Inspiration: Interior design was inspired mostly by the location of the hotel in the busy centre of Budapest and Hungarian love to wine and its manufacturing wine traditions. Interiors of the lobby and bar are lively, full of colours and eclectic. It refers to historical train station Nyugati built by Eiffel Company in nineteenth century. On the other hand, first floor restaurant, corridors and guest rooms have more balanced colour palette - natural earthy tones as red terracotta, natural beiges and greenish hues.

Nature and neighbourhood blend with interior which give the space cosy and welcoming atmosphere. It invites people from the outside to enter and enjoy glass of wine in ground floor bar Axis. For the Investor, it was a very important to design the interiors in such a way to create a vibrant place, not only for the guests of the hotel, but also for the local community. The goal was to create a new trendy meeting place on the map of the Hungarian capital.
