ROOMS
We wanted to create an atmosphere where you will feel right at home after a long flight or hefty sightseeing in the city.
The rooms are limited in size so we carefully selected natural looking materials, colors and textures that make them spacious and where you'll feel 'grounded' due to the tactile appeal of each object or surface.
The 144 rooms are divided into 3 roomtypes with different bed-setups and variations in color&trim.
ROOM DNA
Seeing as the rooms / cabins are rather small, we felt it was imperative that they feel airy, tranquil and comfortable.
No nonsense, where all items & materials are in play together. Pure & …
We created stand-in persona’s to chart different needs & scenario’s and reduced them to 3 categories that were the basis for the 3 room types.
SMALL BUT GOOD
Early design exploration sketches & impression of the layout of one of the room-types.
We created a number of these to quickly get a feel of the room atmosphere an preparation for thinking about ‘smart‘ solutions and convenience for guests after a long journey, entering our small oasis.
ROOMS EXTERIOR
Each room is indicated with a stainless steel, waterjet-cut numberplate. The numbers rest on the woodpaneling which contrasts with the dark-grey walls and ceiling. On each door, a individual colorfull artwork panel is placed, an easteregg hinting to the platform's big move and destination next year.
CUSTOM CABINET
Each room features a custom designed and build cabinet that keeps the room spacious and tidy. This grid-cabinet has a desk extension ideal for sending that email to family and lovedones.
WALLBOARD
For your convenience we've created a windowboard alongside the bed that has a compartment where you can charge your laptop or phone directly via USB or with regular power sockets.
BATHROOMS
We use wood paneling as a consistent and recurring element throughout the hotel. In the bathroom we've applied it to create usefull shelves and a luxurious & warm feel.
CUSTOM CABINETS
Offering different compartments, the grid-cabinet is ideal for placing your personal belongings. The open-ness of the structure not only keeps the room spacious, it makes it easier nót to forget your belongings when it's time to head on to the next destination.
We revisited this cabinet a while later, and decided to make an even more elegant home version, See our KABINET.
WALL DETAIL
For the walls we selected 2 wallpapers with a subtle rough texture and natural colors. Having a big impact on the visual experience, these wallpapers give, combined with the other selected materials, a calm friendly atmosphere.
BATHROOMS
The bathroom is closed-off with a satin-finished glass door. For your convenience the door swings open both ways so you can use it to either separate the room from the entire bathroom, ór to separate the wet-shower-compartment keeping the rest of the bathroom dry.
FROM AMSTERDAM TO LONDON
After one year of launch in Amsterdam, the GOOD HOTEL was transported to LONDON for a longer stay and service to guests
