A TRIBUTE PORTFOLIO HOTEL BY MARRIOTT
MODERN DAY TRIBE_ For TRIBE hotel, we tell the story of a proud modern Chinese tribe and their definition of a uniquely Chinese après-ski culture. Located at the Winter Olympics 2022, hosted by China, this ski resort aims to give shelter to our adventurous tribesmen to build bonds as they enjoy the great outdoors. We designed the Branding, Interior Design, Logos, Signage, and Art curation of a 350-room hotel, and all public spaces, i.e. Lobby, All-Day-Dining, After Ski Bar, Lobby Lounge.
The concept of being part of a tribe was expressed through several spatial art installations, such as full sized coloured projections at the lift lobby that frames graffiti style neon art. In the lobby space, the "tribe's tattoo" was reimagined as a series of "spatial art installations", in one case reappropriating disused timber skies as 3D wall mural graphics, and in another as LED light boxes hung from the ceiling akin to a large hovering symbol of the tribe.
"Frustrated by the lack of space to dry out wet gear after a day in the snow in the typical hotel room, one innovation we designed for Tribe was a Mud Room by the main entrance, specifically for winter gear, leaving the main open wardrobe for other clothes and avoiding gear draped over furniture throughout the room"
