What are the factors that affect the design style of hotel lobby?

The lobby of the hotel is the only place for guests to pass in and out, the first space for receiving guests, and the place where guests have their first impression of the hotel. Hotel lobby is a place for guests to go through formalities, consult and concierge, a transportation center leading to other major public spaces of the hotel, and a hub of the whole hotel. Its design, layout and unique atmosphere will directly affect the image and function of the hotel.

For hotel designers, the lobby is probably the space with the largest design workload and the highest design gold content. This is not only because it is big, but because there are too many spiritual and material needs in the hotel lobby, and there will be more potential goals in the design. In hotel design, designers who only rely on materials and decorative language to express the design are not developed, and this kind of mistake is most likely to occur when designing the lobby. Hotel designers should be the creators of specific quality of life and modern communication environment. They should not only accumulate a lot of life experience, but also be familiar with all the design details.

Design principles of hotel lobby

The lobby design should follow the hotel. The business philosophy of "customer-centered" focuses on bringing beautiful enjoyment to guests and creating a spacious, gorgeous and relaxed atmosphere. The overall style and effect of the lobby is determined by the hotel's image positioning, investment scale, building structure and other conditions, and every inch of the hotel's land needs to be mined. Make full use of the spacious space in the lobby to carry out various business activities. The design principles are as follows:

First, meet the functional requirements.

Function is the most basic and primitive level in lobby design. The lobby is designed to facilitate various practical functions of serving guests. Generally, the lobby design should consider the following functions:

Layout of the spatial relationship in the lobby.

The dimensions of the lobby environment.

Furniture, furnishings and equipment arrangement of lobby service places.

Hall lighting.

Hall lighting.

Lobby greening.

Ventilation, communication and fire fighting in the lobby.

The color of the hall.

The lobby is clear.

The material effect of the lobby (pay attention to environmental factors).

The overall atmosphere of the lobby, etc.

In addition to the above related contents, attention should also be paid to dust prevention, shock prevention, sound absorption, sound insulation and temperature and humidity control in the design of the lobby space. Therefore, when designing the lobby, priority should be given to meeting its various functional requirements.

Second,? Make full use of space

The space in the hotel lobby can be used as the working place for the main agencies in the hotel lobby (such as concierge, luggage, reception, information, front desk cashier, business center, etc.). ), but also can do the lobby, catering, meeting? And atrium, etc. These functions often provide good objective conditions for the full use of lobby space and the creation of off-site atmosphere. Therefore, the lobby design should make full use of space.

Third, strive to form their own style and characteristics.

As the main place for guests and hotel activities, the lobby is much more detailed and complicated than other places in terms of functional requirements and spatial relations. How to make the lobby design unified rather than monotonous, rich rather than disorderly, is another principle that should be followed, and strive to form its own style and characteristics.

When designing, besides rational analysis, we should also rely on thinking in images. For example, the design theme of hotel lobby is determined by grasping the factors such as hotel building structure and lobby space characteristics, and is expressed by modern technology. If we pay too much attention to the difference in use function, we will often put the concept first; If we pay too much attention to the visual effect of space, we often ignore the protagonist of the lobby itself-people. Therefore, the design should be more "fireworks". Without some distractions, although the "effect" of the lobby seems to have weakened a little, it is closer to life itself.

Fourth, pay attention to the formation of a sense of wholeness.

The separated space of the hotel lobby should meet different functions. However, if we only seek diversity without unity, or only pay attention to details and local decoration without paying attention to the overall requirements, it will inevitably destroy the overall effect of the lobby space and appear loose and messy. Therefore, the lobby design should follow the requirements of "diversity and organic unity" and pay attention to the formation of a sense of integrity. The formation of the overall sense of the lobby can be considered from the following aspects:

Thematic approach

That is, in the modeling of hotel lobby space, a main form is repeated regularly to form a complete formal system. It's like the main melody in music. Although it has experienced various variations, the tone of the music remains unchanged, maintaining the harmony and integrity of the music from beginning to end. The reappearance of motif forms the main theme of architectural space, which permeates into all spaces, so that it is not scattered in various spaces, but has a strong sense of integrity.

Master-slave method

The elements that constitute the lobby space modeling are: weight, such as size, weight, thickness and so on. Material, such as hardness, thickness, gloss, transparency, etc. ; Form, such as merits and demerits, Fiona Fang, etc. ; Color, such as contrast and harmony. Light, such as bright, Dark, false, etc. When designing these elements, other elements should follow and have a clear priority, and they should not be used in all aspects without discrimination. If you can't grasp the master-slave relationship, it is difficult to form a sense of integrity in the lobby space. The following practices can be adopted:

The focus is on the unique shape of the lobby;

Boldly display the material, aesthetic feeling or modern scientific and technological achievements of the lobby;

Through the use of light, the lobby is full of blurred atmosphere;

Let color dominate the whole lobby space;

A certain style, genre or style that runs through the whole hall space.

Key method

Highlighting the key elements in the lobby is an effective way to form the overall sense of the lobby space. In the lobby space, the prominent leading elements and subordinate elements should be "friendliness" and "peace * * *", and the lobby without leading elements will appear dull and monotonous; But if there are too many dominant factors, it will be chaotic and usurp the role of the master. Once the key elements are formed, corresponding measures should be taken to make the subordinate elements play a prominent role in the key elements. Therefore, we should pay enough attention to and restrict the handling of key elements in the lobby; We should not overwhelm or exclude everything visually, so as to separate them from the whole lobby and destroy the whole sense of the lobby.

Tone method

The so-called hue method is to unify the shape of space with the basic hue that constitutes space. But it should be related to a certain atmosphere, such as warm, warm, soft, solemn, lively, light or relaxed and so on. Generally speaking, tuning methods can be divided into two categories: contrast method and harmony method, which can change different tones. But contrast does not refer to the simple contrast of different colors, but there is still a certain master-slave relationship, so that the unity of space should include changes; Harmony, on the other hand, is the easiest way to form a sense of wholeness in lobby space, and the tone is also the easiest to unify. Even if there are changes, it is only a cooperative relationship between the same color.
