INSPIRATION Marry a former school and zoological museum's historic architecture with a
modern approach to interior design. Use art, signage and graphics to give guests a sense of place.
Bright colors and simple shapes (such as the outline of a house rendered in metal, which
serves as a canopy over seating) tick the boxes for both guests and locals looking for a lighthearted welcome to the 168-key property. "The lobby is a critical connection point, inviting
the intermingling of a diverse group of visitors, such as backpackers, flashpackers, families,
young professionals, business travelers and revelers," says Anwar Mekhayech, lead partner,
DesignAgency.
The high-low mix here isn't just about juxtaposing pricey pieces with thiftshop finds. Instead, it's about layering cultural and demographic references. Ceramic-andwood totems by Dutch artist Hans van Bentem invite childlike curiosity. A neon sign with
three crossing keys by the reception desk is a double entendre that nods to the city's infamous red light district.

INNOVATION
INTEL Budget doesn't have to be unadorned. From witty sayings in the elevator to elaborate
art pieces, there's plenty here to meet the eye. The key is balancing the intricate elements
with off-beat, larger pieces, such as the raked auditorium seating the team decided to keep
from the space's previous incarnation.
