Analysis of existing space
Analysis of the existing space, and according attached photos and wishis of the investor, I have made few basic guidlines for this project
- Existing surface area of the reception is quite small,
- Domination of the warm colors and materials in the space (walls in wood and stone, wooden ceiling, wooden louge area, wooden details, fireplace etc...)
- Good insolation of the space, with a lot of daylight
Concept
Tha main idea was to design a new reception with the new shape and functionalty which would integrate into the existing space. For this reason I decided to apply wood as a main material in combination with neutral colors, gray and white. The functionality of the space itself was a difficult task , given that the position of the new reception area is in a narrow space of the main comunication coridor.
Shape
The shape of a reception desk was a logical solution provided by muvment of guests . This new rounded design gives more space, so guests can pass smoothly without interfiring a check in area. With its shape this desk design also subliminaly gives feeling that there is something behind the corner but also with its gentle oval shape accommodates and welcomes as a welkaming hands. Existing barrier between the entrance area with the high tables and longue area, was transformed in transparent wall, like barrier between new reception and the existing longue zone.
Function
In new design reception area was provided high desk with two working places. Incorporated sidebord is with the space for files and open space for printers and telephone. Transparent „wall is the in the same time panel for the keys. Entrance wall is extended for 42cm, so I have desined in that new space, a custum cabinet for office material and a wardrobe . Naw the recepcion area has all the elements as described in the project breaf for efficient usage of the reception zone.
Materials
Main material is a wood (front of the desk, sidebords, drawers..) in combination with MDF in antracite color for the structure and a frame and glossy white for the fronts of the desk and cabinet. Some of the wall surfaces are planned to be in white brick finish, so we used more white color to give a feel of more space in this narrow entrance area.
Decorativ elements
At the photos that are set , I noticed a lot of photos in the frames of natural wood, all around of place. I think that it would be good if these frames set in the composition in entrance wall and that it would be first thing the guests see when they enter into the hotel. That small intime pictures together with one floor lamp make a immpresion of home atmosphere. Also I provided few more ambientel small lights in reception zones, with the same motive.
Thank you
