Lobby/Lounge:
Respecting a brand image of Shangri-La hotel which took a garden concept, a beautiful fresh garden was invited to the inside of the building with a modern edge. With simple pallet such as cream beige and black, the hotel takes a new turn with a perfect mix of contemporary and elegance.
To emphasize the character of the hotel, we proposed a new appearance of a garden by working with an Australian landscape designer, Charlie Albone.
By bringing a garden inside, natural materials were fused with the interior fixtures.

The previous classic design was completely renewed into a fresh, modern space.
In Lobby Lounge, Beautiful trees were added alongside the black pool, and the traditional style art panel was replaced to refreshing basalt rock feature wall with some green. Although the main structures are retained, this space was converted to be a refreshing lobby with a timeless design.
On the rock wall, real various plants are potted as well as artificial plants. This makes a good contrast with the rest of the hue of the white colors of posh interior. Greens and massive rocks add a raw touch to them in a powerful way, and bring a sense of the familiarity.
