Limes Hotel
Alexander has been recognised for his outstanding design work for the Limes Hotel in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. Limes Hotel is a 21-room urban retreat and offers a tapas bar, coffee shop, business facilities, open-air rooftop bar and cinema. Inspired by The Valley’s natural beauty, Alexander has created a stunningly majestic environment that oozes sophistication.
“I wanted to make Limes a design experience, however stripped of the associated design ideals of something unattainable. I shifted the design focus to make the guest feel special, yet not afraid of jumping into the bed like it was their own.” says Alexander.
The design approach focused on the Hotel in its absolute entirety – considering the intended look and feel, and paying heavy attention to the interiors, furniture, surfaces and finishes, as well as extending the design influence to Limes’ music and drinks list.
The Limes “facade” has been tangibly branded with the Limes logo on a gross scale, also represented on details throughout the Hotel lobby, rooms and bar and cinema.
Alexander used Corian® extensively throughout the guest bathrooms and kitchens, rooftop bar and reception counter.
“Corian® was selected for its versatility, durability and potential for maintenance”, Alexander says. “It has provided both a durable functional product, and an aesthetically pleasing feature that enhances the overall look of the project”, he adds.
Congratulations to Alexander Lotersztain of Derlot Pty Ltd for creating an exceptional project that offers a truly unique and exclusive feel.
