Beach Hotel in Odessa
Room 1
Location: Odessa, Ukraine
Area: 136 sq.m.
Designer: Alexey Gulesha
This room is the first part of a large hotel project, which I started to design half a year ago. The design of this interior was inspired by the James Bond movies from 80th. I wanted to make one number not like the rest. It will be luxurious, liberated and show a contrast between a brutal "cave" looking walls and a many cozy corners and zones in it.
I like to feel the surface of the material tactilely and not visually and compare materials by touching them. I call this tactile contrast. So, for example, a soft carpet will seem even softer if before that you walked on a hard cold concrete floor.
I also like to draw people's attention to the fact that the materials to the touch may not be what they seem visually. For example, this Cini Boeri's armchairs looks like a cold piece of glass, but they are surprisingly convenient and comfortable when you sit in it. The glass is curved so ergonomically that it even seems soft.
這個房間是我半年前開始設計的一個大型酒店項目的第一部分。這個內部的設計靈感來自80年代的詹姆斯邦德電影。我想做一個和其他數字不同的數字。這將是豪華，解放，並顯示出一個殘酷的“洞穴”外觀的牆壁和許多舒適的角落和區域之間的對比。
我喜歡用觸覺來感受材料的表面，而不是用視覺來比較材料。我稱之為觸覺對比。所以，舉個例子，如果你走在冰冷的水泥地面上，柔軟的地毯看起來會更柔軟。
我還想提醒人們注意這樣一個事實：接觸到的材料可能不是他們在視覺上看起來的那樣。例如，這把Cini Boeri的扶手椅看起來像一塊冰冷的玻璃，但是當你坐在裡面時，它們卻出奇的方便和舒適。玻璃的彎曲度符合人體工程學，甚至看起來很軟。
I really wanted to make bathing in this room look like bathing in a hot spring, so I made the bath bowl in the same material as the entire floor in this room. It grows smoothly from the surface of the floor and is very similar to a small pool that arose in the floor under the influence of natural forces.
我真的很想讓這個房間的洗澡看起來像泡溫泉，所以我用和整個房間地板相同的材料做了一個浴盆。它從地板表面平滑地生長，非常類似於在自然力作用下在地板上形成的一個小水池。
Also there's a smart glass between toilet and bath area, so when someone comes into the toilet the glass becomes opaque.
廁所和浴室之間還有一個智能玻璃，所以當有人進入廁所時，玻璃就會變得不透明。
This work space was designed without any chest of drawers, because this hotel situated on a beautiful beach and I want the clients to spent more time there rather than work. It is only for Skype calls, emails etc.
這個工作空間的設計沒有任何抽屜，因為這家酒店坐落在美麗的海灘上，我希望客戶花更多的時間在那裡，而不是工作。它只適用於Skype電話、電子郵件等。
The idea of the materials is that in this digital era, when work means siting on the PC and answering email for 2-3 hours I want to see and feel something natural, which will deliver my thoughts somewhere over this table and screen, so I think that would be cool to sometimes touch a brutal rock plate to feel how powerful nature is.
I also like how the steel desk cut this big slice of rock and emphasize the contrast between human technology and power of nature.
這些材料的想法是，在這個數字時代，當工作意味著坐在電腦上，回覆郵件2-3個小時，我想看到和感覺到一些自然的東西，這將把我的想法傳遞到這個桌子和屏幕上的某個地方，所以我想，有時觸摸一塊殘暴的岩石板來感受大自然是多麼的強大是很酷的。
我也喜歡鋼製書桌如何切割這塊大石頭，強調人類技術與自然力量的對比。
The interesting detail is that there's a hidden shelf in this rock, so the books are like growing from the stone.
有趣的是，這塊石頭裡有一個隱藏的架子，所以這些書就像是從石頭上長出來的。
There's a few restaurants in this hotel, so this kitchen is just for some small personal needs like small snacks, coffee, cocktails etc. There's even no dining table because of this.
這家酒店有幾家餐廳，所以這間廚房只是為了滿足一些小的個人需要，如小吃、咖啡、雞尾酒等，甚至沒有餐桌。
The lounge area opposite of the kitchen looks cozy and very convenient. It is designed for evening chill, reading, texting and other. Art on the walls is a very interesting detail as for me. First of all the kitchen area is very strong and a bit aggressive by form and light, so I wanted to create a contrast between kitchen and lounge zones and the soft color of this painting have emphasized it. Also this art shows what circles is world of art going through for thousand years. If you look a bit on this painting you'll mention that the facture of the walls and this painting are very similar. So if this brutal natural cavelooking walls were very ordinary a few thousand years ago, now we see them so rarely that we even have to paint them on the canvas.
廚房對面的休息室看起來舒適又方便。它是專為晚上的寒冷，閱讀，短信和其他。牆上的藝術對我來說是一個非常有趣的細節。首先廚房區域很強，在形式和光線上有點侵略性，所以我想在廚房和休息區之間形成對比，這幅畫的柔和色彩強調了這一點。同時，這門藝術也展示了藝術世界歷經千年的變遷。如果你看一下這幅畫，你會提到牆壁的製作和這幅畫非常相似。所以，如果說幾千年前這種野蠻的自然洞穴牆壁非常普通的話，現在我們很少看到它們，甚至不得不把它們畫在畫布上。
The design of this interior went through a lot of stages, different concepts and sketches. Some of them were very appreciated and became popular on instagram.
這個室內設計經歷了很多階段，不同的概念和草圖。其中一些非常受歡迎，並在instagram上大受歡迎。
