The document describes plans to convert a building located in Northampton's Cultural Quarter into a boutique hotel influenced by Indian and Swedish heritage. The designer, Rikesh, plans to revamp the existing Edwardian architecture with modern updates while maintaining the original structure. The design process included site visits and area analysis to reflect the local culture. The hotel will feature neutral colors, accent colors, and allocated private and public spaces.

PROGRAMMING
My approach to 13-15 Guildhall road was to revamp what is already there
with a modern day look. My concept was Oliver twist with a twist, why?
this house holds Edwardian architecture that I decided to bring back to life
with small but radical changes. That would eventually turn this boutique
hotel into an experience that would bring more attraction into the North-
ampton Cultural Quarters. Certain materials were brought in to recreate a
new look and also has sustainable features.
PRECEDENTS
These three images are showcasing the development stages i took whilst
redesigning 13-15 Guildhall Road. As you can see I took a radical approach
with my design, my main aim was to create more space within the space
provided. How? by extending walls, taking out rooms and selecting neutral
colours.
For the ground floor I decided to completely take out the master room
above the reception, creating an extended ceiling which would eventually
turn into an overlooking gallery, complimented by a chandelier and fra-
meds crawling up behind the desk in the reception.
For the first floor contains 5 rooms ,and the second contains 4 rooms and
one apartment all consist of the same colour scheme that flows through all
floors within the boutique hotel.

In the visuals you’ll be able to visually see how I’ve incor-
porated the indian and swedish heritage within the hotel,
by using a neutral colour scheme complimented with an
accent colour. Each room is designed to bring comfort and
luxury with private spaces especially allocated within the
hotel for guests only. Public spaces offering social exposure
between guests/staff and public.

Bubbles and Paper
I decided to completely intervene
with the plan and recreate it into an
environment heavily influenced by
shape
and formation, an idea that was in
spired on how bubbles form and the
constant flow of curves; also how
paper can be used as a precedent
. Both of these materials link to natural
prod
ucts and sustainability in their own
way
I wanted to
explore how curves can expand a space
and create a sense of peace and tran-
quiity, and ecourage creativity.
