Here's how each element shapes a more mindful, meaningful, and immersive leisure experience. #Architecture #Design #DesignforWellness #DesignThinking

What's next for hospitality design beyond 2024? The hospitality industry is set to leap boundaries in the coming years. With an expected boom, innovation in design will be at the forefront. It’s not just about aesthetics anymore but creating immersive experiences that resonate with guests on a personal level. Here are some trends we see shaping the future: • Eco-friendly and sustainable designs will continue to gain momentum as more consumers demand green practices. • Technology integration will become even more seamless, enhancing guest services and operational efficiency. Imagine rooms equipped with advanced AI systems or hotels harnessing solar power for sustainability. • Design elements fostering well-being, such as biophilic design principles or sensory experiences like aromatherapy, might become standard features. The goal? A deeply personalised guest experience that goes beyond physical comfort to emotional connections. This evolution requires forward-thinking from designers who can anticipate these shifts and incorporate them innovatively into their projects.. #HospitalityDesign #Innovation #FutureTrends #Sustainability #GuestExperience #DesignThinking

What Happens in Vegas..... I often marvel at how ideas, concepts, and their various evolutions stand the test of time in new and different avatars. Dubai today has over 325 man-made islands, the majority of them being the small blobs constituting The World Islands. The others range from massive archipelagos like the Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Jumeirah, Port Rashid and Dubai Islands, Dubai Marina and Bluewaters, and the iconic Burj Al Arab, built more than two decades ago, all in the quest for creating new waterfront properties with private beaches. One of the last to be developed is a 25 acre / 10 hectare blob of reclaimed land off Jumeirah Beach, overlooking the iconic Burj-al-Arab and the Wave Hotels. Technically it is not an “island” but a reclaimed patch of land jutting out into the Gulf. The property has been looked at by several developers ranging from Nakheel to Limitless to Wasl, from several development perspectives over the last 20 years, and concepts have ranged from an exclusive Villa Island (2003) to a fantasy iteration of resorts within man-made hills (Rio De Jumeirah / 2004), to a multiple tower concept (Porto Island /2014). Mea Culpa! In its final and current version “The Island” (2018-2024) consists of multiple Vegas-centric hotels (without Casinos), and was finally approved for construction late last month. Developed by Wasl, and initially conceptualized by UN Studio, The Island is a conglomeration of three resort hotels radiating from a central feature tower, and include the MGM Grand, Bellagio and Aria Resorts, several extended beaches with villas, exclusive F and B facilities, and previously “The Dubai Sphere”, an elevated entertainment orb over the 100m tower. With the counterpart of the Vegas Sphere, now being planned across the waters on Palm Jumeirah, the current team of designers must be feverishly trying out Plan B for The Island. The decades-long process is thankfully finally coming to a closure, with a $1.5 billion development contract being awarded by the Government to the China State Construction and Engineering Corporation, which is presumably happy to gainfully employ its underused crew, as the China property market keeps slumping.  What happens in Vegas, now stays in Dubai……..but within a more benign context!
