The Italian spirit was both a prerequisite and a strength, which made the difference in this project. Fabrics referencing the typical colours of the area (in particular red and blue) were used to reiterate the constant dialogue between the outside and the inside.
Starting from the curved contours which characterise the property, the designers opted for the incorporation of large, keel-like shapes into the design, playing with spatial awareness from the outside and creating an architectural structure unique in its kind.
In a capital like Yerevan, a city with a strong presence of large hotels characterised by a unified, homogeneous design style, it was important to to draw upon the distinctive mark of Italian design, the designers said.
The most original feature of the structure is the Grand Hall, an eight metre high great room which houses the fireplace, the bar and other spaces typical of an international hotel. A part of the restaurant directly faces the grand hall, creating a close relationship between the ground and second floor.
The spa includes a panoramic view of the city, a gym, and a relaxation area on the upper floors which offers a fascinating view of both the urban skyline and the surrounding mountains.
The custom built furnishings of the common areas were conceived by Fabbri Group, which perfectly interpreted the spirit of the project.
The welcoming sofas are illuminated by large lighting fixtures designed by M&M Chandeliers, emphasising height and distributing light according to a meticulously composed design concept.
