Design of a hotel lobby in the heart of Brussels
- Location: Brussels
- Area: 400 m²
- Style: Warm and sophisticated
Located just a few steps from Brussels' Grand-Place, the new lobby of the Novotel Brussels off Grand Place was designed as a welcoming space open to all, well beyond its hotel function.
A Lobby Organized Around a Sculptural Bar
At the center of the space, the reception desk naturally extends into a vast sculptural bar, conceived like a liner or a cockpit. As the true heart of this commercial architecture project, this central feature offers a 360° view over the entire hotel lobby and structures the various areas organized around it: a welcome area, a lounge, work zones, and a meeting room.
To create a coherent identity and visual continuity, the ceilings were painted black, while a wainscoting in muted-toned wallpaper underlines the whole space.
Furniture and Lighting
The generous and comfortable furniture invites relaxation and conversation.
The lighting combines technical fixtures, light coves diffusing indirect light, and decorative elements, including a trio of majestic golden lampshades that bring a sculptural presence and give the space a warm and sophisticated atmosphere.
