Deluxe Suite
Special features:
Acrlyic stingray, layers of movement shaped desk
Ceiling hung, pivoting television
All rooms are wheel chair accessible
The guest rooms are part of the main design concept of the hotel, which is the stingray in motion. This is accomplished in many features. The grey, stingray shaped, upholstered bench and stingray shaped glass table. As well as the carpet and head board where both insinuate ripples in water and the movement from the stingray. The colors used are greys and blues reflective of the stingray, ocean, and ocean bottom. The use of natural pine wood in the floating night stands and the entryway micro-fridge cabinet reflect the culture of Japan and the use of natural and local materials. A ceiling hung rotatable television between bedroom and desk area maximizes viewing area.
For privacy there is a frosted glass partition wall between entry and the bedroom. The entry and frosted glass partition cause a person to pause before proceeding further, giving traditional Japanese people the chance to take off their shoes before they proceed further. There is a track of blackout curtains which can be closed for privacy or blocking light from both sun and night life of the city.
This room meets handicap requirements both in the bathroom and the living space.
The rooms with one king sized bed option come with additional closet space, a stingray shaped upholstered ottoman and a grey, stingray shaped, acrylic, layered floating desk and upholstered chair.
Executive Suite
Special features:
Acrlyic, stingray, layers of movement shaped desk
Half wall between sitting room and bedroom.
Ceiling hung, pivoting television
All rooms are wheel chair accessible
The stingray in motion and Japanese culture is the design concept of the guest rooms and main hotel. This concept is reflected in material, color, and shape.
There is a simulated wood floor at the entry because a real wood floor would not handle the high traffic generated at the entry area as well. This area contains a micro fridge with a grey, stingray shaped, acrylic, layered, floating counter along the wall. It also contains a living room area with a long back arm chair and love seat with a glass top coffee table and ceiling hung rotatable television.
There is a four foot high partition wall between entry and the bedroom so that guests in the living room still get the view outside but because of the angle also provides privacy to the peersons on the beds.
To create defined spaces the bedroom is carpet tile creating a clear distinction between public and private space. The bedroom carpet and head board both insinuate ripples in water and the movement from the stingray. The colors used are greys and blues reflective of the colors of the stingray, ocean, and ocean bottom. The use of natural pine wood in floating night stands and closet sliding doors reflect on the culture of Japan and the use of natural and local materials.
The shape of the stingray is carried over to the grey, stingray shaped, acrylic layered floating desk and upholstered ottoman.
For privacy, since this is in the city and there are other skyscrapers nearby, there is a track of blackout curtains that can be closed for privacy or blocking sunlight or night life lights of the city.
This room meets handicap requirements both in the bathroom and the living space.
The rooms with the one king sized bed option additionally have a stingray shaped glass table with two upholstered chairs.

Special features include:
(Tiled pathways)
Back lit canopy with a perforated spiraling pattern, created with tiny holes in the metal panels, inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night.
My design approach is clean and unornamented so that the canopy and other highly decorated elements will provide that feeling of wonder. It is vital for the wall, flooring, and other materials, under the canapoy, to be plain and unornamented so that the light patterns emanating from the canopy can be truely appreciated as they display on the surrounding; hence the use of a dark grey polished concrete, dark grey booths and white tables under the canopy.
The unornamented in contrast to the swirl tiled pathway creates both a sense of movement as well as a distinct pathway in which to move within.
The unornamented also highlights the human element in my design. People in their own right become a work of art in this environment as certain elements move them through the space or change their appearance through light and shadow play.
