Beila ist ein Boutique-Hotel in Bilzen, Belgien. Sowohl die Marke als auch das Interior-Design wurden von Creneau entwickelt: "Wenn wir mit dem Konzept eines Einrichtungsprojekts beginnen, ist es oft der Innenarchitekt, der anfängt, Stimmungen zu sammeln, Materialien auszusuchen und das Interieur zu entwerfen. Erst später im Prozess kommt der Grafikdesigner ins Spiel. Nicht so beim Hotel Beila. In diesem Fall hängt das Konzeptdesign von den grafischen Linien ab."
Creneau wählte den Begriff Rhythmus, um dem Beila seinen Charakter zu verleihen. Der Rhythmus ist dabei in den Materialien, Formen, Farben und Mustern eingebettet. Zum Beispiel in der Holzverkleidung, die an verschiedenen Stellen zum Einsatz kommt: die Wand hinter der Bar, Sitzgelegenheiten, aber auch in der Lobby und den Hotelzimmern
This office is the Headquarters for Vensa Infra and Builders in a high-rise building in Hyderabad, India.
The creative and sophisticated design for this space reflects Vensa’s focus on upscale and modern luxury.
The design aesthetic is a duality of blends and contrasts - natural and artificial, modern and rustic.
Deep recessed and linear up/down lights are used to discreetly highlight furniture without drawing attention to light sources.
Suspended lights are also used in waiting areas and other offices. Those in the waiting area are decorative and accented, while the lights in the main office are made of burnished brass and introduce a grunge feel to the overall aesthetic.
In addition to the artificial lighting described above, clever use of abundant natural light compliments this space.
Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room provide panoramic views of the horizon. This theme of transparency and visibility continues throughout the overall space with glass frames partitioning off cubicles and offices instead of opaque walls. Natural light streams in from all sides, bathing the floor in sunlight. The layered approach to lighting helps create a clear visual hierarchy in the space, helps in achieving the transparency through the maze of glass.
While optimizing continuous natural lighting, glass paneling can cause excess reverb and poor acoustics.
To fix this issue, performance acoustic ceilings were added, which absorb reverb and improve overall sound. Modern wood veneer paneling and rustic stone are used to cover the walls, with both materials visible from all points on the floor.
