A Coastal Revival: Transit Studio Transforms Le Méridien Ra with New Signature Cocktail Bar and Restaurant
- TRANSIT STUDIO-
Transit Studio, the London-based design practice known for its sensitive and context-rich approach, has completed two transformative new hospitality projects at Le Méridien Ra Beach Hotel & Spa, set along the Catalan coast south of Barcelona.
Bar Tempus- From the earth to the sea Transit Studio were invited by the hotel initially to work with them to create a destination cocktail bar within the hotel. The hotel is situated in a former Sanatorium that was used to help recovering TB patients from Barcelona, and was converted and opened as a hotel in 2003. They worked through a variety of options to bring a new experience internally as a way of helping to extend their opening season and the potential of the site. The initial arrival at the hotel is based on a strong linear axis from the earth and gardens, through the former chapel( where the new bar is located) out to the sea. They wanted their design to embody this journey.
