Design Brief Designed by LYT Architecture , the hotel is a response to a brief for an upmarket , modern and fresh design aimed at the business traveller . The design was to cohesively complement the design of the existing buildings in the Nexus Precinct at Waterfall City . The hotel was to be constructed on top of a common basement that will eventually be shared with three other buildings under development .
The rise of personal experience within hotels has been an ever-growing key theme within the hospitality industry and achieving this ‘ personal experience ’ directed the designer ’ s story for creating a concept for this property .
