Hospitality: Next Step

WiP Architecture Technical and Engineering, which since 2018 has structured a Hospitality Division with a team dedicated to design in the hotel sector, has received from the company Bed and Bath Italia, the task of creating a temporary installation within the same store Design Week.

HAUZ 1929, historic brand of high quality textile products for the bedroom and bathroom, links its idea of relaxation to two important companies of beds and mattresses Aireloom and King Koil.

The design solution, designed for a space of 50 square meters, includes a luxury suite with a relaxation area, an office corner and a bathroom. The space is defined by a wooden paneling that follows the perimeter of the walls and is an integral part of the furniture, turning into the headboard of the bed or part of the shower cubicle (Cesana).
The bed (Hauz) is centrally located and in line with the entrance, on the right side of the bed we find the relaxation area with two two-tone seats in microfiber (Arteinmotion) while on the left is the office area with desk and laptop. The bathroom furnishings are Agape; next to the bed is the DR bathtub, a model of flexible tub with two seats with soft and sinuous lines. The shower (Cesana) is located behind the wall supporting the washbasin (Agape). The ZenzaHome lamps positioned above and to the sides of the bed are characterized by different geometric textures that create an elegant and oriental atmosphere.
The Well-contact Plus plate system (Vimar) that we find in the entrance area and on the sides of the bed is a solution designed specifically for cutting-edge hotel solutions that allow constant control of the environment. A unique automation system that also manages lights, temperature, security, energy and accesses via computer, offering functionality and comfort in every single environment.

The design research program starts from the analysis of the existing typologies to end with the conception of a new model of living space to get better in tune with the new needs of hospitality.

From this experience that will be presented at Design Week 2019, the basis for WiP is created to create the development of what will be the pilot project that will evolve into a new type of space for medium-long term stays: a new room model for the new generation of hotels that look to the ever more advanced needs of hospitality.
