Architecture and interior design firm: Office AIO, Beijing
The details: The 60-key Read and Rest Hotel in Beijing is centered
around a library stocked with the latest issues of leading lifestyle
magazines. It's a novel approach conceived by local firm Office AIO,
which carved out a quiet, calming place to relax amid the bustling city.
While guests can access a huge collection of materials in the library,
the firm's challenge was to remake the mundane façade of a former
1960s print factory into an appealing hotel while adhering to historical
preservation requirements. To that end, founder and lead designer
Tim Kwan kept things minimal, opting to carve out parts of the second
level to create a dramatic double-height entrance. Reached via a set of
floating travertine steps and visible through extended window openings,
the curved form created with concrete folds establishes a tunnel-like
transition from street to quiet oasis. "The curvature and stepping form
was inspired by the open edges of a book-or magazine-abstractly
suggesting a notion of one being welcomed and received by bound
pages," says Kwan. In the library, floors and wall panels are lined in
soothing white oak, including a long corridor with desks on one side and
benches on the other. A staircase at the end leads to tranquil guestrooms
with walls and the ceiling swathed in a warm gray textured plaster to
"resemble a modern, minimalistic cave-like aesthetic," says Kwan.
