Crowne Plaza Warsaw HUB Hotel Interior Design

Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021

Copper and amber function within this hospitality interior as powerful signifiers of warmth, welcome, and material value, their metallic luminosity traditionally associated with coins, vessels, and objects of domestic significance across numerous cultures. The vertical screen of black metal bars may evoke archetypal threshold imagery, representing the symbolic passage between exterior public realm and interior sanctuary, a liminal membrane that permits visual connection while establishing psychological separation between states of arrival and dwelling. Spherical pendant forms descending in clusters suggest celestial bodies or organic growth patterns, potentially activating associations with guidance, navigation, and natural order that resonate with the traveler's experience of orientation in unfamiliar environments. The circular geometry of marble tabletops reinforces symbolic associations with wholeness, gathering, and democratic social arrangement, while the embracing curves of velvet seating forms suggest nurture and protection, perhaps echoing the archetypal significance of the vessel or womb as container of human experience. The exposed concrete columns assert a philosophy of material honesty that carries its own symbolic weight, representing authenticity, structural integrity, and the contemporary valorization of unadorned truth in architectural expression. Green foliage elements introduce biophilic references connecting the interior to natural cycles and growth, serving as symbolic counterpoint to the manufactured precision of metal and stone surfaces. The transparency of the glazed envelope may represent modern aspirations toward openness, connectivity, and the dissolution of barriers between private refuge and public engagement, while the warm artificial illumination within establishes the interior as a zone of human-scaled comfort distinct from the scale and pace of the urban context beyond. The interplay between reflective surfaces, polished marble mirroring pendant lights, embodies duplication and correspondence, suggesting how designed environments create meaning through relationships, repetitions, and resonances rather than through isolated elements alone.

The architect designed the interior of public areas and hotel rooms located in the Crowne Plaza hotel in Warsaw in accordance with the standards of the IHG brand. The design of Crowne Plaza Hotel has been prepared for the Warsaw HUB building in Warsaw, in Wola district. That project is a multifunctional complex of two skyscrapers joined by a bridge. Interior of this hotel is unique. Interior of the hotel combines elegance but cosy, nature but satisficated and also vibrant feel – mix of gold, wood, marble, green and the emerald fabric as the colors of Warsaw and Vistula.
