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.
这个房间是我半年前开始设计的一个大型酒店项目的第一部分。这个内部的设计灵感来自80年代的詹姆斯邦德电影。我想做一个和其他数字不同的数字。这将是豪华，解放，并显示出一个残酷的“洞穴”外观的墙壁和许多舒适的角落和区域之间的对比。
我喜欢用触觉来感受材料的表面，而不是用视觉来比较材料。我称之为触觉对比。所以，举个例子，如果你走在冰冷的水泥地面上，柔软的地毯看起来会更柔软。
我还想提醒人们注意这样一个事实：接触到的材料可能不是他们在视觉上看起来的那样。例如，这把Cini Boeri的扶手椅看起来像一块冰冷的玻璃，但是当你坐在里面时，它们却出奇的方便和舒适。玻璃的弯曲度符合人体工程学，甚至看起来很软。
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.
我真的很想让这个房间的洗澡看起来像泡温泉，所以我用和整个房间地板相同的材料做了一个浴盆。它从地板表面平滑地生长，非常类似于在自然力作用下在地板上形成的一个小水池。
Also there's a smart glass between toilet and bath area, so when someone comes into the toilet the glass becomes opaque.
厕所和浴室之间还有一个智能玻璃，所以当有人进入厕所时，玻璃就会变得不透明。
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.
这个工作空间的设计没有任何抽屉，因为这家酒店坐落在美丽的海滩上，我希望客户花更多的时间在那里，而不是工作。它只适用于Skype电话、电子邮件等。
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.
这些材料的想法是，在这个数字时代，当工作意味着坐在电脑上，回复邮件2-3个小时，我想看到和感觉到一些自然的东西，这将把我的想法传递到这个桌子和屏幕上的某个地方，所以我想，有时触摸一块残暴的岩石板来感受大自然是多么的强大是很酷的。
我也喜欢钢制书桌如何切割这块大石头，强调人类技术与自然力量的对比。
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，这块石头里有一个隐藏的架子，所以这些书就像是从石头上长出来的。
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.
这家酒店有几家餐厅，所以这间厨房只是为了满足一些小的个人需要，如小吃、咖啡、鸡尾酒等，甚至没有餐桌。
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.
厨房对面的休息室看起来舒适又方便。它是专为晚上的寒冷，阅读，短信和其他。墙上的艺术对我来说是一个非常有趣的细节。首先厨房区域很强，在形式和光线上有点侵略性，所以我想在厨房和休息区之间形成对比，这幅画的柔和色彩强调了这一点。同时，这门艺术也展示了艺术世界历经千年的变迁。如果你看一下这幅画，你会提到墙壁的制作和这幅画非常相似。所以，如果说几千年前这种野蛮的自然洞穴墙壁非常普通的话，现在我们很少看到它们，甚至不得不把它们画在画布上。
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.
这个室内设计经历了很多阶段，不同的概念和草图。其中一些非常受欢迎，并在instagram上大受欢迎。
