In 2021, the hotel underwent a renovation that resulted in a completely transformed lobby area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The central part of the lobby features a double-height ceiling and a reception desk backed by floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an airy visual effect within the limited space. The clear and angular design highlights a sense of architectural aesthetics and balance. Complemented by the sleek and elegant CAMERICH furniture, the whole space welcomes the guests with a sense of ritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The designer, Fabian Ong, extracted local materials from the surrounding environment and redefined traditional elements by using modern design techniques. The combination of wood, rattan and beige tones creates a warm and cozy atmosphere within the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The modern furniture with metal and leather accents blends in and creates a peculiar mix-and-match expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The redesigned space seamlessly integrates modern aesthetics with traditional elements, enhancing the hotel\u2019s aesthetic value while preserving its unique historical significance.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2908,"template":"","class_list":["post-2903","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.gregoir.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/2903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.gregoir.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.gregoir.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.gregoir.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.gregoir.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
