Hotel‑inspired Residence|Introduction to Architecture Firms|A Home Where the Extraordinary Becomes Everyday
Author: Qurasuki Editorial Department
To recreate in one's own home the refined sense of the extraordinary often felt at hotels while traveling — that aspiration is realized in hotel‑like residences. Such homes employ design strategies like expansive, open bathrooms; living rooms that read like lounges; a cohesive color palette; and the calibrated use of indirect lighting. These approaches require architectural techniques that simultaneously introduce both breathing room and a measured tension within the space. The comfort associated with hotels is, in fact, the result of cumulative decisions in material selection and circulation planning. Here we introduce design firms that make the everyday feel like a resort.
