This portion of the hotel has a terracotta roof and colonial-style window shutters and will include the hotel’s premier guest accommodations in loft suites.

Thus the graphic elements designed includes subtle details and elements which blends in well with the surrounds but yet having its own quirks.

PROTOTYPE

Image on the left was done during the first mockup, it was achieved by spray painting and not the design intent.

The signs were later rectified by the contractor and a chrome mirror finish plating was achieved after the revision.

Mondrian Singapore project is still ongoing, therefore it’s a current consolidation of the designs and mockup images that we had done. The project allows us to create a simple effortless looking design but with a twist in the detailing and the material finishes.
