Breaking the Walls

An artist that inspired me for this project is Gordon Matta-Clark. His works of sculpture by cutting out geometric shapes in abandoned buildings, creates an unusual shape within a space. I want to create the same effect by placing walls inside my lobby, making it seem destructive and one of a kind, yet intriguing to walk around.

Lobby and Concierge

A freeform-shaped fabric wall separates the lounge and concierge area. Inspired by the expressive language of Vivienne Westwood’s fashion pieces.

Lobby Lounge

Guests visiting the Vivienne Westwood Hotel can relax in the maze-like lounge area, providing intimate moments great for photo taking or simply conversing.

Pool and Bar

On the left side of the lobby are the hotel pool and bar. The odd placement of the pool on the first floor pays an ode to the boldness of the Vivienne Westwood brand. The feeling of exposure adds an unapologetic, rebellious mood to the hotel experience.

If the Vivienne Westwood hotel lobby is about rebelling against the norm, then the hotel guest rooms are about physically disturbing the norm, to create a never-before guest room experience.

Guest Room Floorplan:

Without boundaries, there is no sense of mystery. Opening up the space allows the guest to feel free, comfortable, and bold to be themselves.

There are no boundaries within the room, the two walls that intersect are turned at an unusual angle and cut open at the intersecting parts. The intention is for guests to move freely around from one space to another. A hot tub is tucked away inside the room accompanied by a minibar, providing ultimate luxury at a any scale.
