In this post, I will share the project's design board.
Above is the Design Board that the Tribulus Omannense will have. Although a modern and minimalist style is the main idea for the hotel, other designs can also be considered for the interior and exterior. The materials for the main entrance, flooring, and interior walls are modern designs, as this is the main style of this hotel. Wooden panels, ceramic tiles, and glass are used in the hotel's interior. The reception, restaurant, and hotel rooms will all have the same style.
As for the exterior, I find using Textured Polish Plaster is most suitable for the primary materials for the walls. The finish can be polished to give a smooth sheen or left more matt with varied textures like the semi-polished and honed finish. More textured finishes like the weathered, floated and raked concrete create more depth within the plaster, replicating the raw industrial look (Surfaceform, 2022). This can be substituted for concrete or bricks. The resilience of concrete makes it suitable for situations in which buildings are likely to come under environmental stress. Bricks are solid and affordable and allow for a lot of flexibility. Stone offers solidity, is suitable for channelling airflow, and has an elegance ideal for some designs. (Admin, 2019)
As for the flooring, ceramic tile is both aesthetically beautiful and durable. Ceramic tile is simple to clean. If one tile is broken, replacing it is a simple task. Although it is among the priciest flooring options, it frequently lasts the longest. Ceramic tiles come in various colours and patterns, making them versatile materials for interior design projects. Although this kind of flooring is inexpensive for many hospitality companies, one criticism is its "coldness" and incapacity to reduce noise. (Mikulski, 2020) Rubber flooring and wooden floors can also be considered replacements.
All of these materials can be sourced locally in Dubai. This is because, despite being a developing country, Dubai has different factories that produce the materials. With this, the cost of shipping the materials to the construction site can be reduced to a minimum.
