PERFECTWELCOME Creating a homely feel was just as important as making the space look stylish
a home and less as a transitional space, which is often the case when designing for traditional hotels.” One key element was to consider the space incredibly carefully, thinking about how people will actually use it, rather than what convention dictates. Bedrooms, for example, are compact, less of a focal point - by design. “Most hotel rooms focus on the bed, and yet it’s often the physical space you spend the least amount of conscious time in,” says Adam. “For Turing Locke, we reduced the size of the bedroom so as to only fit a comfortable queen-size bed and small, minimalist bedside tables, allowing us to achieve two significant goals. First, we drastically increased the size of the living area, where the next generation of guest will spend the majority of their waking hours. Second, studies have shown that smaller spaces are more conducive to higher quality
sleep. Downsizing the bedroom doesn’t necessarily trivialise it – it’s a beautiful space and still more than enough.” As with every new project the company takes on, AvroKO identified three key pillars that form an overall design direction, or ‘north star’ that guides the project. In this case, the concepts were modernist shapes, reflected in the lines and architecture of the building; post-war change, most evident in Turing Locke’s mid-century furniture, fixtures and lighting; and avant-garde rebellion, which is shown in the art collection and accessories throughout the project. Throw in some gorgeous finishing touches – like the terrazzo countertops and mint-green velvet sofa – and the result is a space that blends traditional and modern with aplomb; fresh and stylish, but also immediately welcoming and homely.
