The Interior Design Philosophy
CCD’s interior design for the Louie Castle Sycamore Hotel masterfully dialogues modern aesthetics with classical elements. The design employs concise lines and bold colors, bridging fashion sensibilities across various periods. Embracing minimalism, the interior finishes feature clean, simple lines that create a serene and unique space, exuding purity and identity.
The design palette of pure white and elegant black sets a sophisticated tone, evoking luxury and refinement. Vibrant accents of bright red lacquered panels add a humanistic touch, infusing the space with a sense of freedom and purity. This carefully curated combination of colors and lines creates a comfortable and pleasant artistic ambiance that transcends time.
The hotel’s soft furnishings echo the black and white tones of the interior finishes, highlighted by vivid red accents. The bold use of red, combined with sleek modern armchairs, creates a captivating artistic atmosphere. Contemporary art is seamlessly integrated into accessories, paintings, and furniture details, adding a touch of sophistication. Retro floor patterns complement modern black and white striped screens, creating a striking visual statement that elevates the space.
Greenhouse Restaurant and Guest Rooms
The Greenhouse Restaurant offers a stunning setting where transparency, sunlight, and floral fragrances converge to create beautiful moments. Sunlight pours through the glass skylight, subtly illuminating every corner and enhancing the restaurant’s visual atmosphere. The open kitchen and dining area maximize natural light, generating a dynamic and transparent vibe.
Clean lines and colors maintain the space’s character, creating a quiet and elegant atmosphere. The transparent environment offers an exceptional sensory experience and radiates a unique, captivating charm. Every detail, from the bar counter to the corners, is meticulously crafted, creating a soothing ambiance in the sunlit setting.
The Louie Castle Sycamore Hotel guest rooms feature a prominent display of romantic French lines, with the arch as a core motif. This design choice pays homage to the architectural heritage while creating diverse spaces and rich visual experiences. The rooms offer a relaxed and inviting home environment, with meticulous details showcasing refined taste.
The unique arched ceiling, complemented by a blend of curves and straight lines, maintains the architectural style while highlighting the spatial atmosphere. The elegant design integrates traditional elements and modern aesthetics from both the East and the West. Calming wooden elements enhance the cozy and relaxed ambiance, making each room a sanctuary of comfort and style.
The Louie Castle Sycamore Hotel’s design explores life’s essence, transitioning from complexity to simplicity. Natural wood textures and colors create a timeless flow within the space. Elements such as floor lamps, decorative paintings, and abstract patterns add a modern, humanistic touch to the rooms. The seamless blend of nostalgia and anticipation creates a sense of warmth and tenderness that transcends time.
