classical & neo-classical

Both of them are 5 star hotels, the first very decorative design is for Marriott Presidential suite, so luxury and classical is essential; second design is slightly light and organic, but still use art deco and classical language...which one is your cup of tea?

Silk Road


Turkish designer has brilliant taste to combine with east and west, maybe the location bring this joint. Looking at the headboard of this hotel, purely silky pattern looks very acient, even the sofa arm gives me Thai feeling... I love the chocolate brown and dark blue, with golden silk lines..amazying place.

Mandarian Oriental Barcelona


Spanish female designer Partrica urquiola design this pearl in Barcelona, which sparkle in the hue of spanish shadow. I would say this color is so bright...mixed with white, grey light wood and gold mesh. This seems a bit far from my rigid hotel color scheme...did I use too much beige before?or...Is this hotel lack of red and warm color?
Questions comes out as below:
first, does white color cost more expense? second, are these furniture too chic? last, this designer is rather an artist or furniture designer than architect?Plus, this hotel more like W hotel than MO.
I hope i am too out of date, but it did chanllege me.

neo-classical design

30% of ID is function, 50% is interior architecture, only 20% is FF&E....but what ppl think about? most desigers put half time to select furniture and color as a decorator..did some big man say our job title is interior architect? ..Oop
For this hotel suite, we prefer timeless style than trendy or traditioanl...so, fresh it up from Art deco and classical form,make it soft and pretty.








marsha spa


I would say, this is not my style, but it does work...I spent a few hours to draw it out and another few hours to color, make client very happy....I start thinking about: why do we need tie ourselves as professional designers? If we can do the job easy, cilents will be easy to see.

What Banquet funtion need? we need bride's room, perfermance room, kitchen service circulation, we offer acoustic perfermance, we design dimmer lighting system...last, we do interior design. Normally, color scheme is final decision, but affect people most imppresive.

Sustainable Design









Once, When I look back my design which was done 4 years ago, I suddenly feel I am doing more mature design than before. This Sanyo factory design was done in 2005, when I just finished my study in London. The smell of this project is still fresh when I found it out.
