Traditional desks are out
Overseeing the design was Sydney based a+ design group who complemented the strong modernist form of the building with a contemporary interior finish, placing an emphasis on ensuring practicality and ease for the modern traveller.
Mike Watson, director, a+ design group said, “a fundamental design decision was an overhaul of the traditional desk setup which took up considerable floor space. In its place in each room and suite is an oversized Italian armchair and ottoman coupled with a custom table which guests can work or dine at”.
