19 Nov Teresa Sapey’s Reflection of a Vibrant Coast

 

How does gazing over the Mediterranean off the coast of Marseille at sunset sound? Vacationers who travel here can tell you it is one breathtaking experience, which is the reason many of them travel here, or in fact, really anywhere! It’s all about the location and indulging in it’s atmosphere and culture to experience something refreshing and new. Learn how Teresa Sapey of Teresa Sapey Studio brought exactly this into her design project for  Hotel Nhow Marseille below:

Marveled by Marseille

Always keeping in mind Nhow’s motto “elevate your stay”, Teresa Sapey thought of a unique personality for the hotel to be a reflection of the city that it resides in, Marseille. The result is a bellwether building for the local resident and a location reference for the customer who is lodging himself in the premises.

Nature’s Juxtaposition

The concept of the hotel resides in the duality between waters that surround the area: the fresh water from the spring built on one of the original walls of the hotel and the salty water of the sea where the springs fall into. Depending on the path you take, a tunnel of experiences was built. It leads you to the most alternative part of Marseille, the docks, or the shallowest and conservative one, the well.

Coastal Color Craze

The colors that were chosen for the interior design decoration have a huge impact on the space as they empower the Mediterranean soul of the hotel. Yellow, orange, red and blue coexist in this space to amuse the sense of escape and vacation for guests as they indulge in elements inspired by the hotel’s natural surroundings.

Preserving Personality

A project that required a big amount of creativity and techniques, the former structure was reused to give the hotel that flexible, trendy and provocative effect that marks the Nhow concept. What has resulted is a captivating mix between the classic billboards of the early 20th century and the urban graffiti that flood on Marseille’s city walls.
