Hotel Florence: the eccentric lady


Interpreting the Hotel Florence as an eccentric old lady I have been able to base my design primarily on the intervention of the historical aspects which influence modern eccentricity. As any eccentric lady, the Hotel Florence will walk to its own beat, ignoring the commonalities that have been present over the course of time. One will not expect to pass through the historic threshold of the exterior to be welcomed into a bold and glamorous space accessorized in an assortment of room jewelry and patterned surfaces.


Based on the concept of an eccentric old lady I have developed my design around the center of the lobby where chandeliers suspended in a radial pattern rippling out affecting the lighting and space throughout the public space. Bold colors encompass the space with splashes of patterns and unique furniture pieces and accessories that stand out from their surroundings and acting as room jewelry rather that the assumed to be only functional pieces.

Each bedrooms stands as an individual embody the ideas of eccentricity which ties them together as a whole. There are five room layouts consisting or ADA double and single rooms, double rooms, single rooms, and family style rooms. Each room expresses its distinctive personality through the bold colors and patterns within it.

The restaurant is colored in a singular bold color with a light pattering seen within the space. The main attraction is the food. Southern food, that is seen every day prepared to high standard and served in unique and unconventional vessels creating and fun and exciting dining experience to be forever embedded in the mind of its visitors.
