METAMORPHOSIS
To natural warmth & cozyness
DESIGN DNA
As part of our proces, we explored & created a detailed description & design intent, per space & atmosphere.
PUBLIC SPACES
When you step info the hotel, you are welcomed by a comforting, inviting warmth.
We were looking for the right blend of the industrial and the natural. Showing the construction and sturdiness of the building and combining it with elements, materials and textures that make you feel right at home.
DESIGN LANGUAGE
Inspired by the geometrical architecture of the platfrom itself, we developed a form-and-material design-language' for the interior elements and furniture, that binds every separate area together.
We felt this was important to experience the hotel as a whole, without being the same anywhere.
Everything in the setup of the hotel, from lobby to rooms is designed to have the guest experience a discovery journey.
For example: the public area on the ground floor is divided into open interconnected spaces which gives lots of different and intriguing see-throughs, beckoning you to explore
NATURAL
QUALITY
To us, pure is premium. We did not design golden taps or marble tabletops to create a premium look and feel. We found luxury in simplicity and originality. Much like you would see in a Dutch home, we mixed design classics by Lensvelt and Moooi with everyday design from for instance Hema or Ikea, and custom furniture & items we designed ourselves for Good Hotel, made by Van Vliet Interieurmakers.
"It is in the balance of contrasts,
where different worlds meet,
is where you will find the most interesting stories and create lasting impressions.
That's what we want our guests to experience and enjoy"
