The goal of the study was the functional and aesthetic upgrade of Yalos Hotel. The long-term operation of the hotel aided in a more targeted upgrade, with an ad hoc approach to each functional issue.
The main synthetic gesture is a delicate balance between opposing concepts, such as old/new, empty/full, local/global, rough/smooth, and straight/curved.
Natural materials such as marble and wood have been chosen, in earthy tones. The forms sometimes have curves and a conscious simplicity, reminiscent of an earlier, more traditional local architecture, which evokes a sense of calm. The marble’s roughness balances with the glossiness of the glass, the dark-colored floors with the light-colored walls, and the curves with the straight lines.
