Creative director of the project was Alexandre Allard, and the designer was Philippe Starck, which completely transformed the hotel, turning it into a model of a new generation of Parisian palaces. For the first time the hotel Le Royal Monceau was opened in the 28th year of the last century and immediately became a haven for intellectuals, artists and writers.

London Prism For A Room For London Competition By Atelier 37.2

Prism “A Room for London” by Atelier 37.2 architects shows a hotel room which is inspired by light. The architects’ concept was based on Isaac Newton's particle theory that stated white light was a mixture of all the colours. This extraordinary hotel room is situated on the roof of the Queen Elizabeth hall. The windows are composed of a series of multi-coloured glass panels used in conjunction with wooden slats. The varying lengths match the specific wavelength of each corresponding colour. This Prism hotel room is spacious enough and it is divided into three areas: a bedroom, a living area and a bathroom one. But the peculiar is that there are no doors to separate these areas, so we are looking at a single room with the different pieces of furniture in different parts of it. This sculptural and colourful structure offsets the monochromatic grey building it sits upon. And as you can see on the picture below it can be seen far away adding some brightness to the grey scenery.

9 Hours Capsule Hotel in Kyoto by Design Studio S

Capsule is a popular type of hotels in Japan and nowhere else, it’s kind of a Japanese national invention that attracts quite a lot of tourists who want to get some extraordinary experience. But still such places are mostly inhabited by businessmen, who were too late for the last train and have no other way to get back home. All of such hotels are usually located near the train stations or in the entertainment area. The idea of capsule hotels is that you rent a small 1m-1.5m-2m capsule where you can sleep or read the book. It’s perfect if you need to simply sleep over and don’t want to pay for the ordinary hotel room.

9 Hours is one of the most beautiful capsule hotel – since it’s opening in December 2009 the Design Studio S has been awarded many times for the best design for Asia. We would give them a separate Home Reviews award for the outstanding info graphics.  The interior of this building resembles the images imposed by many movies about the future. It’s extremely strict and sober, consisting only of the basic shapes and colors.
