alpine interlude
“The natural landscape of this stunning place inspired everything we designed,” explains Gary Lapers, principal of Princeton, New Jersey-based Michael Graves & Associates, of the 51° Spa Residences in the heart of Loèche-les-Bains in southern Switzerland, the site of thermal baths since Roman times. “The buildings get their character from natural stone and large wooden timbers.” In addition to multiple luxury residences, the resort will include a thermal-water spa, a restaurant and club, and a second-phase 5-Star hotel. “The site is located at a pivotal place in the town, at the point where the old, small-scale wooden-structured town transitions to larger scale buildings that were constructed in the 1960s and ’70s. It is also a place where the view opens up to the incredibly scenic valley,” explains Lapers. “Following the quirky site boundaries and the sloping topography, the masterplan creates a series of linked buildings around a central plaza that will become a kind of outdoor living room for the community. The stone and timber create a rugged architecture that feels very much a part of the Alpine landscape. With restaurants and retail at the edges of this central space, we are creating a sense of community and camaraderie that will make this a vibrant town center.”
behind the scenes
Four Seasons Resort Seychelles. JW Marriott Beijing. Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo. These are among the 1,000 illustrious projects spanning 80 countries that HBA’s 13 offices worldwide have put their design mark on. In Defining Luxury: The Work and Life of HBA, the World’s Hotel Designers, a new coffee table tome published by Assouline, readers get a rare visual glimpse into the company’s interpretive process, and how it infuses each of its distinct spaces with rich, local color—whether it’s a top-to-bottom lacquered door calling to mind imperial China at the Qin Spa in Shanghai, ebony paneling and crystal at the Fairmont Nile City reimagining Cairo’s Art Deco past, or a Vulcan stone bathroom in the newly renovated medieval Castel Monastero in Tuscany. As the stunning photographs, and inspiring quotes and blueprints peppered throughout the book reveal, HBA’s design objective is to always establish an authentic but contemporary sense of place.
HD Expo Highlights
New sessions have been added to the conference program at the 2012 Hospitality Design Exposition & Conference (HD Expo). Take a look at these not-to-miss discussions: Form and Function: The Secrets to Award-Winning Restaurant Collaboration Blackbird, Avec, Violet Hour, Big Star. Together, chef Paul Kahan, managing partner Donnie Madia, and designer Thomas Schlesser have created some of the most groundbreaking and memorable dining establishments in Chicago. And not in just one category—they have taken on and arguably redefined (they have multiple James Beard nods to prove it) fine and casual dining, the typical bar experience, and most recently, a taqueria. The threesome delves into their awardwinning concepts, giving insight into concept creation, menu creation, design highlights, and lessons learned, ultimately teaching the keys to successful restaurant collaboration. Also, don’t forget to join us at the HD/JHG Radical Innovation in Hospitality Competition on Tuesday, May 15th, where you can vote live for your favorite concept.
