Hospitality – 8

Resort experiences should be immersive, blending seamlessly with the local environment and culture.

‍

At nicholas we have a great respect for tradition, but we are also forward-looking. We design people-centric spaces which guests feel completely at home in.

‍

The best architecture does not revolve around novelty. It is set apart as if it has always been part of the landscape. As if it has grown from the earth alongside the olive trees and stones.

‍

In designing hotels and resorts, the focus must go beyond aesthetics - seeking to create environments that guests recognise intuitively, an atmosphere that blends respect for local tradition with the courage to look to the future. Good hospitality properties disappear into their surroundings, yet at the same time, they define them. They are recognisable and exciting, universal, while remaining deeply rooted in the culture of the place. 

‍

It’s great when visitors ask, how old is this building? It could be brand new, but it feels like it’s been there forever. This is the transcendent quality of great architecture.

Familiar, yet exciting. Universal. Eternal.
