HOSPITALITY INTERIOR – HOTEL

Directed by lead interior designers Olivia Watts & Sian Whitmore, LW Multi Disciplined Designers created the Steigenberger Business Bay Hotel on the Dubai Canal. The design features a juxtaposition of serenity and strength, including ostrich leather wall panels, illuminated onyx, rose gold metals, plush fabrics, and over-scaled geometric patterns blended with far eastern inspired florals. Customdesigned lighting includes a stunning 25-metrelong undulating crystal chandelier. Judges considered the project to be international, elegant and balanced. They were persuaded by its materials, design rigour, and the connection between horizontal and vertical planes. They enjoyed its bold scale, which lightened up the classic and traditional design brief.
