New Zealand Commercial Design Trends Series NZ Commercial Design Trends Vol. 35/02C | Page 4

The world of hotel design is changing, with a move away from bland repetition of a chain’s design template to giving guests a unique experience that reflects the location they’re visiting. In this issue of Commercial Design Trends, we look at how that’s been implemented in three quite different hotels – the TWA Hotel in the iconic 1960s TWA terminal at JFK Airport, the Sudima Christchurch City and Montreal’s new Hotel Monville. We also look at how architects and developers are seeing the value in breathing new life into dated CBD buildings – from transforming a lobby to a large scale re-imagining of how a building functions. Plus there’s our round-up of latest examples of open, connected and decidedly people-centric office environments.
