The interior architect designed a central spherical atrium for a hotel renovation project. The sphere creates three atrium areas on different floors and links all sides of the existing building. It brings a new design element and makes the renovation unique. Bedroom designs for the hotel were futuristic with clean lines and neutral colors. Public spaces like the bar and restaurant also featured the bold color schemes and minimalist cubist designs to maintain a futuristic theme throughout the property.

The designs are minimal but stand out through the colours. The cubist feel runs through these two spaces making them unique to the rest of cork city. The designs have similar rectangle seating and lighting which I wanted to keep the futuristic design. The bar area and restaurant are easily accessible to each other as they are open plan but the toilet facilities leave a common space between them.
