This week we were introduced to the key aspects to consider when designing hotel rooms. Different guests, have different needs and as a result, desire different hotel rooms. However, the key thing that all hotels have in common, whether that be a budget hotel or luxury one, is functionality.
Ergonomics need to be considered, and in order to understand this effectively, I decided to research a case study. In particular, the Jiahe Boutique Hotel in Shanghai.
After having done some research on the spatial conditions, I have learnt that hotel rooms need continuity. The main priority should be functionality but that does not mean that traditional standards cannot be challenged. Everything included within the design, must be integral to the room and must serve a purpose.
