About Old English Embodiment 부티크 호텔 인테리어 디자인

올드 잉글리시 엠보디먼트(Old English Embodiment)는 말레이시아 페낭 조지타운에 1800년대 초 지어진 식민지 시대 저택을 복원하여 조성한 부티크 호텔의 인테리어 디자인이다. 호텔은 총 여덟 개의 객실로 구성되며, 각 객실은 서로 다른 대리석 판재로 마감되었다. 리셉션 테이블은 여덟 가지 대리석을 한데 모아 배치한 평면도를 추상적으로 표현한 것으로, 이를 통해 공간들이 서로 연결된다. 로비와 계단참은 대기하는 손님들을 위해 옛 영국식 서재처럼 구성되었다. 곡선형 계단은 손님들을 상층 복도로 안내한다. 이 디자인은 격식 있는 성격과 집처럼 편안한 분위기 사이의 균형을 이룬다.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The site is a restored colonial mansion built in the early 1800s. Quantity over quality is evidently true in this project as it only has 8 rooms with 8 different marble slabs placed respectively. To create a connection between spaces and pivotal point of the hotel; the reception, its table is an abstract plan view of the 8 marbles placed together. Waiting areas like the lobby and landing are camouflaged into an old English study.
Dimensions & Packaging: Inspired by Sir Norman Macalister, the British Governor of Penang from year 1808 to 1810. It serves as a homage to Penangs rich colonial past. It holds the the UNESCO World Heritage Site status (WHS) in 2008. Given its pre-war inception, this two-storey building is a load bearing wall, with no proper columns and wall like it is today. Throughout its alterations following legislation of its heritage, post and beam structure has been used, which is fairly new in Malaysia.

Production Technology: In sequential steps, we start off with team brainstorming, researches on its heritage and concept, moodboard for concept storytelling, hand drawn sketches for its form and massing, 2D to test the technicality and workability of our ideas, 3D overwritten by hand drawn sketches and to finally reach a final 3D visualization for all angles.
Design Challenge: Due to its UNESCO World Heritage Site status, we had to comply with design limitations in addition to our local heritage legislation by law. We had to analyze the ancient building structure before hacking works, given it is a load bearing wall without proper columns. Wall timber panels have cavity in between as the rising damp issue causes dampness from the floor to the wall. Combination of lux materials and craftmanship needed are lacking in our Malaysian market, challenging our design vision.
Research: We studied various classical architecture books and case studies from Londons prestigious hotels to local pubs. Our aim is to find the right balance between luxury and homey hence, we searched for classical architecture found in typical homes. The workability of the design was experimented via various hand drawn sketches and 3D test renders. By confirming the right balance of classical elements, we further researched its technicality through the workmanship our local carpenter can allow.
Inspiration: Our client takes pleasure in vacationing in London and wanted to recreate this boutique hotel into something that could be an expression of it. If we go into details, there are various elements such as Edwardian, Victorian or even Art Deco fused into the modern architecture in the streets of London as of 2021. Our client wanted to create a very comfortable approach to its users where class could be felt yet it feels homey.
Project Duration: Project started in August 2019 and finished in September 2020. Located in 228, Jalan Macalister, 10400 George Town, Penang, Malaysia.
Operation Flow: Upon entering, the user will be greeted with a grand Old English study which is the lobby of the hotel. Reception is located adjacent to it where users can check in their stay in either flexible areas. The multi-purpose room equipped with audio-visual can cater public guests easily accessible from main entrance. Heading towards the end of the lobby is the curvature staircase which will lead private guests to a landing area and corridors guiding them to their respective rooms.
