A hotel is a permanent theatre where guests become the actors in a constantly evolving setting. Gilles&Boissier brings the art of staging to bear here: understanding the context, capturing the spirit of a country, imagining the audience, and conveying the human experience in all its nuances. The interplay between volumes, materials, light and circulation becomes a living narrative. The agency envisions the community that will inhabit the space, sketches out a narrative, but always leaves room for the freedom of interpretation. The result: lived-in, sensitive spaces where sophistication blends seamlessly with simplicity.
