Destination Utopia
Noun: an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect.

You are invited to dive into a utopian world illustrated by futuristic, tech-glam aesthetic combined with bright colours and pastel hues. Destination utopia is derived from the vision of the future of hotels. Exploring the concepts of wanderlust and futurism, I came up this vision of paradise for Hotels.com - a utopian destination. Escape the every day life through surreal beauty and physical tactility that invites discovery and encourages wanderlust.

Through the balance of soft spaces, fluid forms, tactile furniture and flowing drapes this training space encourages wanderlust and discovery. Custom designed arched operable walls will transform these training rooms for intimate meetings, large conference style meetings and social gatherings with plenty of space to move.

Lights emit a soft luminosity and feel, illuminating spaces with an even glow to create calm while energising users. Layering of tinted glass, matte surfaces, opaque elements and ethereal tints reveal unexpected effects and structures.
