levels, transformed from existing One&Only
guestrooms, presented structural hurdles
for LW Design Group. By collaborating
with Nikken Sekkei and WSP engineering
consultants, Shah-Mulani and her team were
able to insert a centerpiece sculptural spiral
staircase linking the two disparate levels that
" stands as a symbol of the continuous flow "
between them, she points out. It is bolstered by
reflective finishes, dynamic lighting, and digital
screens to disguise the height limitations.
Throughout the hotel, designers opted for
materials that promote health and calm, such
as light oak cladding and textured tiles. " Black
metal detailing and signature green accents
add a touch of sophistication, " says ShahMulani,
while furniture, like the Gravity and
CirC+ massage chairs, reinforce the notion of
rejuvenation.
The 132 soundproof guestrooms, their
floor-to-ceiling windows magnifying city
views, promote restful slumber and help
combat jet lag in the process. They also
showcase SIRO's commitment to holistic
wellness through perks like comfortable,
extra-long beds with cooling mattresses, agility
ladders, and meditation playlists. Minimalist
luxury is at the core of these airy lairs, adds
Shah-Mulani. " Bush-hammered serpentine
marble flooring paired with warm plaster
walls create a restorative atmosphere. " hd
