DESIGN NAME: Bit Design Hotel
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Hotel
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for the design is based on minimal and jappanese air, oriented to young mind people which don't feel comfortable in standard chained-brands hotels, looking for a personal contemporary aproach.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a highly custom designed hotel.
The lobby concept design is composed by a folded wood tape wich run from walls to ceiling playing to the building facade idea.
Each room by floor has been customized with a particular color defined by the foot warmer cover and a particular wall-covering mural.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The wooden millwork in the rooms are very simple folded “tapes” which compose the desk with bench-low tables in a similar manner to the main lobby concept. The corridors reinforce the idea of the diversity by an asymmetrical composition in finishing and lighting concept.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Design Process: six month. Built Process: one year.
Location: 265 Ramon Fernandez Street
Montevideo, Uruguay. South America.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The atmosphere of the interiors is cozy and warm, with the wood as the main material, and glazed illuminated counters at both end sides: reception front desk and cafeteria counter as a symmetrical composition.
