LAMAISON hotel lives from the changing history of the site and its modern extensions, while its character is rooted in the stately mansion of the former courthouse. The new guesthouse consists of 10 rooms and 2 suites. Surrounded by the hotel park linking architecture and nature with its materials and color nuances of the rooms. The architecture is very reduced with its façade in natural rough sawn silver fir and the entrance area in weathered steel. The guestrooms are minimal, timeless and based on an open room layout accessible for everyone. Each room gets its own atmosphere based on a color concept playing with different natural nuances. They immerse the rooms with adapted tiles, furnishings and textiles. Because of the natural materials, such as the oiled oak, and the uniform natural colors, the rooms maintain their calm. The modern interpreted quotes of past eras, such as the rattan weave, the marble vanity and the ornamental glazing of the bathroom create a certain familiarity. The fully glazed sliding windows open the room to the park and create a seamless connection between inside and outside. All technical built-in parts such as lamps, switches, sockets, fittings are black to give the room its uniformity. Designing a hotel nowadays is defining a position within a market. Since the era of the grand hotel ended with the expectation of fast investment returns, an interior often only has to last seven years in order to get replaced by new themes answering to always faster changing expectations of possible guests. LAMAISON guesthouse is escaping this logic with a timeless design based on natural materials and colors. It is a holistic concept characterized by quality, naturalness and longevity. Patina is a kind of sustainability creating a beauty of its own.
