- The elevator lobby features vintage floor indicators that evoke cultural warmth and sophistication, while herringbone patterned stone flooring pays tribute to the historical legacy of trading houses and merchant establishments. These thoughtful design elements create an arrival experience that immediately signals exceptional hospitality and attention to detail.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the Palais Garnier, this hospitality venue embodies an art sanctuary steeped in time, where guests are welcomed into a space of cultural richness. The design team reinterprets arched structures and Baroque curves through a modern lens, harmonizing geometric order with metallic luster to create an exceptional guest experience. The interplay of lines across layered spaces unfolds like a spatial symphony, while off white and warm golden hues blend classical elegance.
- Project Duration
- The project was finalized in June, 2025, in Shanghai, China.
- Operation Flow
- This hospitality venue showcases Art Deco style stone inlay patterns, creating an engaging visual narrative of proportion and light that welcomes guests from the moment of arrival. The symmetrical facade harmonizes metal elements and stone surfaces, establishing a sense of grandeur befitting a premier hospitality destination. A gracefully curved staircase guides visitors upward, merging elegant architectural lines with crystalline sheens.
