At the entrance, raw concrete textures and architectural forms are softened by draped fabric partitions, ambient lighting, and contemporary artworks, creating a welcoming yet layered visual experience. The lobby’s central table rests atop three rusted steel drums, relics from the original steel plant, symbolizing a seamless connection between heritage and innovation.
The former silo corridor was transformed into a “Starlight Lounge”. A static area on one side creates a relaxing afternoon tea atmosphere, while the opposite side features digital art sculptures that animate the space with projected visuals. A semi-outdoor area seamlessly connects the lounge to the outdoor landscape via retractable windows.
Guestrooms retain the silos’ unique circular structure, complemented by sculptural, heavy-duty furniture echoing the 20th-century industrial style. High-contrast color palettes highlight the modern flair, offering guests an immersive experience that combines historic relics with pioneering spirit.
