DULUX COLOUR AWARDS - FINALIST
CONCEPT KITCHEN
ASMR Hotel encapsulated the recent Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response phenomenon which has become popular primarily through YouTube. The design of the ASMR Hotel reception and lobby envelops guests in a calming and subconsciously expansive aura using colour, space and nature. The colour palette reflects both nature and the transcendental meditation experience by bringing the 2019 forecast colour ranges of Repair and Wholeself together to calm visitors and immerse them in pure geometric form and the unpretentious refinement of the Hotel Lobby.
The main entrance of the ASMR Hotel relies on a carefully selected harmony of Dulux Colours – Sailing Safari leading into refreshing Sea Creature, which is then liberated by Pinkham, like the transcendental meditation experience, guiding the travellers from the dark into the light as they are drawn down the corridor to the reception desk. The spaciousness of Pinkham is grounded by the earthy New Life green covering the reception which anchors the observer. The corridor leading up to reception balances
between the masculine and feminine, where the dominance of Sailing Safari and Sea Creature surrenders to the simple purity and enlightened tones of Pinkham & New Life, weaving into one visual expression.
Turning to the right reveals the seating area of the lobby. Two tall trees echo the vertical steel pillars which emphasise their natural rivals. Covered in Hidden Depths from the Repair colour range the pillars reach up to the heavens seeking light and create a flowing simplicity through their regular repetition which is showcased well against the neutral polished concrete flooring. Hidden Depths allows the canopy of the trees to continue through to the pillars and filter the light below. The design creates an overwhelming sense of natural, expansive beauty to nourish guests and rebalance their mindset for the rejuvenating experience which awaits them at ASMR Hotel.
