A Nature-Inspired Interior Redesign
At the heart of the refurbishment is a renewed emphasis on natural beauty, organic textures, and a calming color palette:
- The Reception Area: A light and airy ambiance was achieved by refreshing the space with soft, neutral paint tones, minimal window treatments, and timber flooring—creating a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors. Curved elements in the reception back wall and counter reflect the flowing, organic forms found in nature, reinforcing a sense of harmony and tranquility.
- The Glass Lounge: A true highlight of the redesign, this space now embraces a nature-inspired aesthetic through vegetation-themed wallpaper, abundant sunlight, hanging planters, and textiles that echo the tonal beauty of the outdoors. The result is an immersive and inviting retreat that enhances guests’ connection with nature.
